The chicken-and-egg puzzle is only one of the many obstacles that must be overcome while introducing a DAO. Before the platform’s wide release, the creators must make some difficult choices. By having the community weigh in on preliminary choices, AIP-1 hopes to address this issue. Token holders will demonstrate their support by voting in favour of the DAO’s first choices and architecture.
