Abstract

Recent research has introduced a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) managing a house – No1s1 (no-ones-one). While the concept has been technically implemented, it remains open how to govern and maintain the house in a decentralized manner. In this study, we investigate how a DAO can govern and maintain physical assets. For this, we use a design science research methodology coupled with a requirements-driven approach and demonstrate through an artifact how such a governance and maintenance system can be implemented. The proposed system features two tokens rewarding active interaction with the physical house, leading to a local community. We evaluate the system with a scenario-based study with users, showing how the community can govern and maintain the house. Thus, the paper contributes to a better understanding of how a DAO with physical assets can be governed and interact with these assets, and to a better understanding of blockchain governance in general.

具有实体资产的dao的治理和维护——以第111例为例

最近的研究引入了一个分散的自治组织（DAO）来管理一个房子——No1s1 （no-ones-one）。虽然这个概念在技术上已经实现，但如何以分散的方式管理和维护房子仍然是开放的。在本研究中，我们研究了DAO如何管理和维护实物资产。为此，我们使用设计科学研究方法与需求驱动方法相结合，并通过工件演示如何实现这样的治理和维护系统。拟议的系统具有两个令牌，奖励与实体房屋的积极互动，从而导致当地社区。我们通过与用户进行基于场景的研究来评估系统，展示社区如何管理和维护房屋。因此，本文有助于更好地理解如何治理具有物理资产的DAO并与这些资产进行交互，并有助于更好地理解区块链治理。
