The Tao is the Tao, the Tao is very Tao – How does g0v open up the decentralized governance of web 3.0

October is the tenth anniversary of g0v's zero-hour government, and it is also the zeroth anniversary of g0v's entry into web3 and the establishment of da0 . The g0v zero-hour government held the 10th anniversary forum at the Academia Sinica on the 22nd. The forum was titled " 10-year exploration and future pursuit of the decentralized community ", and Tang Feng, a long-term participant of g0v and also a number of ministers, was invited to attend and share observations. And in the second forum on the afternoon of the 22nd, we began to discuss one of the hottest topics this year-DAO (decentralized autonomous organization), which also caused a high degree of repercussions. After all, as Taiwan's time-honored community organization, is How do you view the concept of DAO?

About g0v

g0v is a multi-centralized community that promotes the transparency of government information , initiated in Taiwan, and is committed to developing information platforms and tools for citizens to participate in society . It began to take shape at the end of 2012, and by the beginning of 2014, there were contributors all over three continents, and the results were released in the free software model or in the way of knowledge sharing . In this organization, there is no distinction between upper and lower classes, and it is hoped that by making information transparent, more people will be encouraged to participate.

g0v and DAO

To a certain extent, g0v has always been a decentralized (or multi-centralized) community organization, which is similar to the concept advocated by this year's blockchain hot topic "DAO". The only difference is how Use blockchain or smart contracts to implement. A “DAO Decentralized Autonomous Organization” is generally a community-led group managed using voting rights tokens or NFTs. DAOs run using smart contracts that automatically execute commands whenever a certain set of conditions are met. As such, DAOs are decentralized and autonomous (and run on their own), and the rules are stored on an open-source blockchain, meaning anyone can view their transaction records and actions. This is also the case. The g0v zero-hour government cuts into the perspective of DAO, which is more worthy of our reference or imagination of the future development of DAO.

The speakers at this conference included Mr. Gao Jialiang , known as the village chief, as the co-sponsor, Ms. Hou Yixiu, the rotating chairman of the g0v group, several ministers and Tang Feng , a participant of the first hackathon, as well as active participants in the hackathon and g0v, Ye Xianglin Noah , who is also the co-sponsor of this da0.

For the speakers, decentralization is an option, a tool or an ideal. It can effectively solve the problem of single point of failure. If one center fails, others can replace or replace it. In the early stage of decentralization, it may be very centralized. How to make the program run automatically, and then develop into the community, which things need to be decided by everyone, and which things are not used, these need to be communicated continuously in the early stage to achieve real multi-tasking. Point resolution or decentralization , not only technically, but also conceptually has a long way to go.

Mr. Gao Jialiang mentioned: "What kind of decentralization do we want? What is DAO? Generally speaking, g0v decentralization means that we can do projects without anyone's consent, and we can find people to contribute together. This is decentralization. We Wanting those parts is so that active participants can do things directly.”

So will g0v go in the direction of web3 or DAO?

According to Noah's answer: It doesn't matter whether g0v is a DAO or not. From theory, definition and description, g0v is a DAO. However , the establishment of da0 will have a mutual aid relationship with g0v , continue the successful model of g0v, and continue to expand its influence.

And Mr. Gao Jialiang said: At present, DAO is still voted on the blockchain, but in actual operation, g0v is operating like this. People want to find resources, and the most they do is citizen science and technology grants, but this cannot be truly decentralized , because if someone needs to raise funds, call meetings, and track progress, you will find that the final problem is who will do it decide . A business that pays money? Still believe who? Who has how much power, how to bootstrap the decision, this is why DAO is not necessarily the most efficient method.

The g0v Zero Hour Government has been operating as a multi-centralized organization for many years, and the DAO topic that aims at "decentralized operation" still raises many practical implementation and operational issues, which also allows us to learn from more From the perspective of DAO, think about DAO. Using smart contracts, decentralized operation must also be an ideal value, but in retrospect , it is a more important thing to think about organizations or projects at the level of " people ".
