Co-founders of UkraineDAO and Friends With Benefits DAO talk autonomous organizations at SXSW By Cointelegraph

Kimbal Musk, Nadya Tolokonnikova and Alex Zhang took to the SXSW stage on Monday to participate in the “Move Over NFTs. Here Come the DAOs” panel at Austin’s Convention Center. Tolokonnikova is a member of the Russian protest group Pussy Riot, and the co-founder of UnicornDAO and UkraineDAO. Zhang co-founded the social club, DAO Friends With Benefits, and serves as its mayor, while Musk cofounded the philanthropic Big Green DAO. Journalist Michael Casey moderated.

Throughout the discussion, the panelists described their distinct and contrasting use cases behind their own decentralized autonomous organizations, or DAOs, and came to the conclusion that ownership, transparency and localization are the main principles of a successful DAO.
