Concept

“Real DAOs Have Never Been Tried…” - Many are saying

From the beginning, one of the intentions behind structuring Arrow Air as a Decentralised Autonomous Organisation (Arrow DAO) was the potential for leveraging the suite of tools offered by Web 3 structures, tools, and ecosystems, (on-chain tokenisation, AI automation, etc) to enable widespread and efficient; organisation in industry, aerospace, human transport, and collaborative RnD, at scale.

In this regard, i think Web 3 promised many things, but chiefly:

  • Transparent and verifiable information transfer

  • Elimination of mundane and repetitive administrative activity

  • Seamless systems interactions

  • Native embedded value exchange

Elements which all combine to supposedly help create the DAOs Unique Value Proposition of decentralised coordination at scale.

Challenges

In order to manifest its value, I think that the DAO needs to resolve the following impediments to its operations:

  1. Information Management: DAO Information is spread across multiple platforms where members, contributors and the community interact, generate and store artefacts:

    • GitHub
    • Google Drive
    • Discord
    • Discourse
    • Notion
    • DeWork
    • Gitbook
    • X
    • etc in the future

    Which has not only made generating an open coherent and easy access information system for contributor collaboration difficult, but also would hold back growth as a “single source of truth” for consistent on-boarding and finding contextual information has already been highlighted as a massive barrier to new entrants.

  2. Governance and Administration: There are many repetitive tasks around DAO Governance, particularly when monthly funding cycles are being pushed through, which are not only time consuming for the members who carry them out, taking time away from other tasks, but could and has also been error prone. This also would not scale to hundred or thousands or even really just dozens of contributors, Such as:

    • Preparing and generating funding proposals end to end

    • Updating contributor remuneration and reward streams

    • Calculating and returning any outstanding balances

    • Making and managing projects, grant and bounties

    • Having a consistent framework to tie into an eventual Grant-Bounty Board

    • Generating, maintaining, tracking and displaying account analytics

    • etc

  3. Hardware Access: Though the decentralised nature of the organisation will continue to enable the inclusion of contributors regardless of location, which would have otherwise not been possible, however, due to the nature of hardware development requiring physical access for many design elements, nature of the constraints are ofcourse going to vary between each potential project, there have been bottle necks and choke points present which have slowed down development because of limited contributor access to systems.

  4. International Logistics and on/off-Ramp Transactions: Due to the world political climate there is, for now, and in the short to medium term, going to be a lack of existing politically approved rails for making direct C2C financial transactions using crypto currencies, especially internationally, as well as for facilitating and tracking C2C2C asset movements (entity a requests entity b to purchase and deliver equipment from entity c). The existing banking rails are slow and cumbersome and can still require the use of trusted intermediaries without a clear paper trail to ensure successful completion.

Proposed Solutions

Going forward, for general accessibility, efficient operation and scalability, the above challenges need to be overcome. This project would need to explore potential solutions, then proposes and architects mechanisms enabling:

  • Quick and easy community interactions
  • Reliable data storage and recall
  • Administrative assistance
  • Dynamic contributor activity
  • Secure international Crypto to mean & material conversions

These could be:

  1. Information Management Systems
  2. Treasury Management Systems
  3. Hardware Interaction Networks
  4. Logistics Escrow Networks
  5. Contributor Portals
    • Technical
    • Community
    • Administrative

I think we should try to build a decentralized or distributed content storage network, and then build every kind of service based on it. Also, it should be able to connect with ETH wallet for login and verifications.
