TON’s path to decentralization: Society DAO
Talk is easy, action is hard, and no more so than in experimenting true decentralization to Web3!
Decentralization has always been a key tenet of Web3’s vision. However, current centralized governance models in blockchain ecosystems mean that capital and resources — financial, social, human, and political — accumulate around the foundation, making it difficult for projects to succeed without its official support.
That is why The Open Network Foundation is committing to this head on by introducing Society DAO — a new community-driven governance model to boost decentralization and empower TON’s growing ecosystem. Society DAO is the answer to these challenges by democratizing access to capital and resource allocation. Under this new model, we redistribute resource allocation power, empowering trusted community members to set vision, goals, and strategies in alignment with TON's overall growth.
The founding members of Society DAO will include TON Core, TON Studio, Wallet in Telegram, and TON Society — teams that have been independently aligned with TON’s mission.
Society DAO will position the TON community on the right trajectory to become more competitive, decentralized, and resilient. Together, we can drive meaningful change and put crypto in every pocket.
