For every new wave of cultural and technological change comes a reimagined definition of community.

A federal judge has ordered the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to serve Tom Bean and Kyle Kistner with its lawsuit against Ooki DAO. Bean and Kistner are the founders of bZeroX, a company that allowed its users to trade crypto derivatives products in the U.S. Bean and Kistner converted the company into a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), which eventually rebranded to Ooki DAO.

Funding your DAO means keeping a healthy treasury, running operations, and making sure these communities are fulfilling the goals that their DAO was spun up for.

The Uniswap Foundation is putting to vote a series of governance changes that it said would streamline voting in the so-called "decentralized autonomous organization" that manages Uniswap, one of the most popular venues for decentralized crypto trading.

Controversially, the CFTC distributed legal service to DAO users via the DAO’s chat box. Most legal proceedings require physical, in-person delivery, but the CFTC got the court on board with a special exemption in October, as the case was kicking off. DeFi advocates reacted heatedly. On Wednesday night, a San Francisco court heard virtual arguments over the mechanism of service. Arguing with the CFTC’s lawyers were not Ooki DAO’s lawyers. (The Block)

One month after Sotheby’s announced it would be <a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/articles/sothebys-to-auction-one-of-only-two-first-printings-of-the-u-s-constitution-remaining-in-private-hands">auctioning off</a> another original copy of the U.S. Constitution, a decentralized autonomous organization (<a href="https://www.coindesk.com/learn/what-is-a-dao/">DAO</a>) called UnumDAO, also known as “<a href="https://twitter.com/WAGBTC">ConstitutionDAO2</a>,” is trying to buy it.

Tezos Co-Founder Kathleen Breitman says many Decentralized Autonomous Organizations remind her of middle school. “The way I see most of these DAOs fail, it’s like they basically act as a really crappy school project,” she said. “When I was in middle school, I was always the person who wound up doing the work in the school project, so I'm very sensitive to this dynamic,” Breitman said a DAO can quickly devolve into one member taking a larger stake in the decision-making process than their peers, and warned against putting people in a position of power that gives them the authority to overrule decisions once members of a DAO have weighed in.
