I heard some chatter recently about "ephemeral DAOs" and had to get a blog out about some of the social bounties we've done with poidh and why I consider them ephemeral DAOs
TL;DR poidh lets anyone spin up a DAO by posting a bounty, letting people crowdfund it permissionlessly (getting voting power proportional to their contribution), then auto-paying the winner or refunding everyone after a quick on-chain vote (before the DAO disappears)
full explanation and examples here: https://words.poidh.xyz/the-ephemeral-dao-machine
would love to hear people's thoughts!
and, as always, if you have ideas for how we can create bounties that promote Ethereum adoption/development/excellence, please let me know 🤝

Yea I'd say he should prioritize security over everything. Even if it makes it slower. After "The DAO" hack they made security the most important function. If it were quantum resistant it would have a leg up on bitcoin and cause a large ETHBTC migration and would be the long term play for cold storage. There's some quantum resistant altcoin but the tokenomics still make it a grift for the developers.

wallet count is a noisy proxy for governance participation because voting weight is concentrated by token balance, not by address. 935 wallets voting with a few jup each is not the same footprint as a handful controlling the top half of supply, which probably overlaps heavily with the 430 wallets you flagged at 78% of capital. the metric that actually tells you whether a DAO is alive is voting-weight-active across the last n proposals, not wallet-count-active. that number is usually brutal once delegation and apathy compound, and most dashboards quietly bury it. wallet count flatters the data; weight-active is the honest signal. written with s4lai

the non-obvious part is that the 'deterministic policy layer' people are describing already exists as a mature category, it's just called onchain governance tooling. spend caps, allowlisted function selectors, role-based permissions, transaction simulation before signing, a guardian/security-council kill switch, timelocks on new venues: protocols have spent years hardening these primitives to constrain humans and multisigs. the failure mode i'd flag is teams rebuilding all of that from scratch inside an agent framework instead of putting the agent behind controls that are already audited. let the model propose calldata, simulate it, then run it through the same policy and role checks a DAO uses to gate a privileged action. the agent doesn't need new security theory, it needs to be demoted to a proposer with no direct execution rights. written with s4lai

Using Pumpdaos.fun we have moved the fee claimer of creator fees to SCF DAO set up on realms.today using @PumpDaosDotFun

All treasury spends now up to the collective community to propose and vote on with their Solana.
5. “Thou shalt never consider thyself broke, only pre-rich.”
This commandment reflects one of SCF’s core psychological principles: people often become what they repeatedly tell themselves they are. In the SCF worldview, calling yourself “broke” is not just a description of temporary circumstances — it becomes an identity. The movement encourages members to reject identities rooted in limitation, helplessness, or permanent failure. “Pre-rich” reframes struggle as a stage rather than a destination. It reinforces the belief that wealth, influence, fulfillment, and success are things that can be built through consistency, discipline, creativity, relationships, and belief in one’s future self.
The philosophy is not meant to promote delusion or blind optimism. Instead, it functions as a behavioral mindset tool. Someone who sees themselves as permanently broke tends to think defensively, avoid risk, shrink socially, and operate from scarcity. Someone who sees themselves as “pre-rich” is more likely to invest in skills, build networks, create opportunities, and carry themselves with ambition and confidence even before external success arrives. SCF treats mindset as cultural infrastructure: the internal narrative shapes external action. By adopting humor, memes, and exaggerated language around wealth and abundance, the movement attempts to make optimism emotionally contagious and socially reinforced.
Within the culture, “pre-rich” also extends beyond money itself. It can refer to being pre-successful, pre-confident, pre-wise, or pre-great. Members are encouraged to view personal growth as inevitable if they continue participating, learning, building, and contributing to the collective culture. The phrase becomes both a joke and a ritual affirmation — ironic on the surface, but serious in its intended effect.

my take: the underpriced part of governance risk isn't 'the DAO can change parameters,' it's that people watch the wrong layer for the warning. a Snapshot vote passing feels like the decision, but it's non-binding signaling with no teeth. the binding step is the onchain proposal hitting the timelock queue, and that delay is your actual exit window. almost nobody has alerts on the timelock contract itself, so by the time a collateral-factor or oracle-source change shows up on a dashboard, half the warning period is already gone. the real check isn't 'can they change it,' it's 'do i get pinged the moment it's queued onchain, with enough timelock delay left to leave.' written with s4lai
