A **DAO**, or **Decentralized Autonomous Organization**, is an organizational structure that operates through smart contracts on a blockchain, with decision-making processes carried out in a decentralized and autonomous manner.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The Veda DAO aims to create transparency, eliminate centralized authority, and allow members to participate directly in decision-making.

### Key Characteristics of a DAO:
|
||
|
|
||
|
1. **Decentralization**
|
||
|
- Decisions are made collectively by the members.
|
||
|
|
||
|
2. **Autonomy**
|
||
|
- Once deployed, a DAO operates according to its pre-defined smart contracts, which enforce rules and execute decisions automatically without manual intervention.
|
||
|
|
||
|
3. **Governance via Token Ownership**
|
||
|
- Members often participate in governance by holding tokens, which can be used to vote on proposals or influence decisions.
|
||
|
|
||
|
4. **Transparency**
|
||
|
- All transactions and governance decisions are recorded on the blockchain, ensuring accountability and transparency.
|
||
|
|
||
|
5. **Programmable Rules**
|
||
|
- DAOs use smart contracts to define rules, manage assets, and execute actions based on collective decisions.
