Crypto界网消息,a16z crypto general partner Ali Yahya posted that in the previous crypto era, DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) were undoubtedly a failed experiment, but this may simply be due to "bad timing." He admitted that over the past decade, the industry has painfully rediscovered that "direct democracy is a bad idea" because no ordinary users are willing to wake up early to decide risk parameters or protocol upgrades. He emphasized that with the changing regulatory environment, the industry will regain legitimate space for experimentation, allowing exploration of representative democracy, bicameral systems, or hybrid architectures of permissioned and permissionless systems. At the same time, AI agents can fill many management duties that humans are unwilling to perform, thereby truly moving DAOs toward "autonomy." The new generation of DAOs, as software, will have an unlimited design space.

Representative DAO sounds more practical; the question is, will token holders delegate authority?

Direct democracy doesn't work; DAO players should have firsthand experience, with voter turnout painfully low.

Finally, someone has the courage to say that a DAO is a failed experiment—“ill-timed” is a spot-on summary, and it fits perfectly.

The past decade of trial and error, the next decade of reconstruction, I agree with Ali's perspective.

Bicameral system + AI agents? This combination sounds like science fiction, but the compliance window period has indeed arrived.
