Abstract
A method for facilitating decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) includes, using one or more computer processors, receiving, from each of a plurality of parties, one or more inputs. Based on the inputs a contract is established between and among the parties providing governance for a DAO. A hash of the contract is generated. Cryptographic signatures are added to the hash from each party, establishing a cryptographically signed hash validating a finalized contract, the cryptographically signed hash including the hash and the cryptographic signatures. The cryptographically signed hash is provided to each of the parties. The finalized contract or an additional contract may allow the parties to purchase and sell tokens associated with the DAO using software agents. Apparatuses for facilitating DAOs are configured for performing the methods. In implementations the contract facilitates ownership and exchange of one or more nonfungible tokens (NFTs) instead of or in addition to governing a DAO.
