DAOs n' DeFI: A Podcast by Multifarm.fi: Recent Episodes
Multifarm
A deep-dive into the new and complex world of DAOs and Decentralized Finance. In this podcast Multifarm.fi interviews leading innovators to examine DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organisations) and DeFi through the lens of governance, treasury management, income generation and transparency.
What is a DAO? What structures do they need? How should DeFi protocols manage treasuries of millions? What challenges do DAOs and DeFi face today?
Key themes: DAO, DAO Transparency, Treasury Management, Yield Farming, Decentralized Finance, FaaS, DeFi 3.0, cryptocurrency
In this episode Squirrel of Multifarm talks to Jenny Jiang of Boring DAO. We learn about how to put coins such as BTC, LTC and DOGE to good yield earning use in DeFi. We also learn about the security and decentralized advantages Boring DAO has over other bridges and other well-known wrapped assets, as well as some alpha drops on Metis, Cosmos and Evmos blockchains.

Multifarm's Squirrel talks to Snowcone, a DAO-as-a-Service who could very well transform the DAO landscape.
The process of setting up a DAO is relatively new, and while exciting, it can be a labourious.
Snowcone seeks to help DAOs by offering them easy to use templates, whether one is a financial protocol or a non-profit. Their plug n play modules help DAOs to build structures that can offer the best practices for both governance and decentralization.
We also talk about the issues bought up with Constitution DAO, and additionally what an ideal DAO could look like? (if one exists?)
00:54 Introduction to Kyle & Snowmaker's background before entering the DAO space
03:34 Snowcone "DAO as a service", and what led to it getting started
05:39 Starting a DAO with Snowcone. Templates for DAOs based on traditional finance, funding vehicles and non pofit organisations
06:42 Encouraging (but not limiting) DAO creators away from overly complex financial systems such as bonding curves for the benefit of DAO members.
08:00 Pre-made structures for DAOs, including airdrop deployment, whitelisting, discord organization, toolkits to make setting up DAOs less time-consuming and allowing the best practices.
11:18 DAO Legoes. Plugging your DAO into other DAOs and DeFi protocols (modular DAOs).
14:48 Difficulties of navigating the current DAO landscape. Current lack of standards and formats. Creating an attractive ecosystem for DAOs to have better standards and formats
15:55 Ideas: Creating an NFT registration system for DAOs to better navigate the ecosystem.
16:50 DAOs and the ideals of decentralization.
Ideas: Visual ratings to help view assymetrical hierachies within a DAO

23:40 Ideas: What is an IDEAL DAO?
Lex DAO as an example of a "good" DAO
26:30 Hierachies in traditional workplaces and hierarchies in DAOs
28:00 Escrow and Service provider and other DAOs that could work well with Snowcone
