Their traits of commonality are identifiable as: • Expanding the limits of technological innovation • Creating a functional global collaboration of multidisciplinary experts • Supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals • Providing economic incentives for expertise contributing to their purposes DAOs are an application of blockchain technology which enables reducing supply chain waste through consensus of the global membership in a decentralized manner.
