What’s happening at dOrg?

Jul 13, 2022

ETH Barcelona? We were there!

Clara, our Member Experience Facilitator, gave an amazing talk at ETH Barcelona about applying lessons from cohousing to DAOs. Clara has a background in architecture and has been involved in different projects to create self-sustainable and decentralized housing communities.

Plenty of other dOrg members were also around, hanging and hacking away in Barcelona.

Mentions

World’s Economic Forum

This is us, this is dOrg: evolution and contribution to humanity. dOrg was mentioned in the June edition of the World Economic Forum's white paper.

We are listed in the DAO taxonomy table as a social DAO. This white paper also shares insights into the history of DAOs, their strengths and evolution.

We were featured in TIME. AGAIN!

This month one of our members, Ori, was featured in TIME's article on "Crypto Layoffs Signal a Long Downturn Ahead with <No End In Sight>" as one of the experts talking about what to expect in this regard

DOrg, Shimony says, was born in the bear market of 2018, giving the company “an awareness that times won’t always be good.” He says that in the last year, dOrg made the conscious decision to slow its hiring, avoid big expenditures, grow its treasury, and take part in more meaningful projects. Now, he hopes this crypto winter will serve to reorient the entire industry, just like he believes the last one did. “If crypto was 99% speculation and 1% utility in 2018, now maybe it’s 85% speculation and 15% utility,” he says. “We’re getting there.”
