Decentralized Autonomous Organizations

Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAO) are organizations that work independently, without any staff. The entire operation is written out in programming code by means of smart contracts. Smart contracts can be compared with a computer program that provides a computer with the correct work instructions.

The idea of DAOs arose closely after the launch of Bitcoin. The hypothesis was: “if money can be decentralized, it can be done for organizations too”. The launch of Ethereum and its smart contracts made this idea reality.

The following prerequisites are needed for a DAO:

  • A list of programmed rules through which the organization knows how it should work. These codes are included in smart contracts.
  • Tokens that the organization can issue and with which it can be rewarded for certain activities.
  • Investors who buy the tokens, resulting in gaining voting power for determining the course of the organization. Token holder can influence how the organization operates and steer the organization in such a way that it will operate successfully.

Compared to traditional organizations, DAOs bring a number of notable advantages:

  • The processes are organized more efficiently and as a result people can focus on tasks that really matter instead of completing everyday routine tasks.
  • There is no hierarchical structure in the organization. Anyone can come up with innovative ideas that help the business grow and stay innovative. To prevent spam, it is often set that you have to pay a small amount in fees in order to propose an idea.
  • DAOs are completely transparent. All transactions are made transparent for everyone via the blockchain.

However, there are also points that make a DAO less interesting:

  • The programming code cannot be changed easily. The community has to agree to its change. If they don’t, no adjustment can take place. This means that an error in the code could cause the entire organization to go bankrupt if not acted quickly.

This issue has been experienced by Ethereum’s project, ‘The DAO’. This project was supposed to make it possible to run a decentralized investment organization. At first it looked like it was going to succeed. However, a hacker found a leak in the programming code and saw the opportunity to cash out his investment several times. By doing so, he managed to channel away millions of dollars. Ultimately, this incident was the impetus for the hard fork of Ethereum: Ethereum Classic.

  • Every organization must adhere to certain legal rules and since in most countries the laws are not yet up-to-date regarding blockchain and cryptocurrencies, DAOs can expect many obstacles. It is expected that this issue will decrease over time as society becomes more accustomed to DAOs.

  • What do the risk ratings mean?

Our mission here at RugDoc is to screen for hard rug code that results in 100% theft of ALL underlying funds for ALL participants.

This is the ONE part of the due diligence process that most people cannot simply do on their own as it costs thousands of dollars to hire a senior solidity developer to look over a farm for safety.

A project coin with terrible code can go up in price, and a project with good code and a good team can also go down in price.

Do NOT use our ratings to refer to your likelihood in making money if you invest in the project. They are ONLY in reference to code safety.

Everything else beyond code safety is YOUR responsibility to go do research on. We just make sure the casino you’re betting in won’t rob you before you even get to place a bet.

Our reviews for projects are organized into a few colors.

🟢 Least Risk
These projects are the least likely to hard or soft rug. Usually reserved for cornerstone projects of an ecosystem where it makes no financial sense for them to rug in any manner as they make more money just being legit.

🔵 Low Risk
These projects are usually established projects in an ecosystem that have a track record of success or have KYC’d to us or other authoritative sources in the real world. As a result, it is extremely unlikely for them to soft rug or hard rug their projects. The projects can still fail and the token price can go down, but usually more as a result of natural market forces.

⚪️ Some Risk
This is the default rating for projects with unknown teams but have code that is unlikely to have hard rug risk. Since the team is unknown and doesn’t have a track record of success, it’s entirely possible that they may try to soft rug by dumping tokens, abandoning the project, etc. Even a last minute contract swap to a malicious contract is possible. The only thing that is unlikely is a complete hard rug as long as you are 100% sure you deposit into the contract we review.

🟠 Medium Risk
Similar to Some Risk, but the underlying code itself is custom enough or complex enough that it warrants an elevated risk rating that needs deeper research. Make sure you read every point presented to make sure you’re comfortable with that before entering. Still unlikely to hard rug, but more chances of custom code behaving incorrectly and causing other issues.

🔴 High Risk
Project contains code or practices that are HIGHLY LIKELY to lead to catastrophic losses as they are right now. Make sure you read the description carefully as we will always warn what these issues are. If you see the words Hard Rug anywhere in the review, STAY FAR AWAY!

⚫️ Not Eligible
We reserve the right to not review exceedingly complex projects that would require tens of thousands of dollars of senior security analyst man hours. Typically these are projects that deal with leverage, lending, options, derivatives, and anything that is overly complex and which requires tons of peer reviews and audits from top audit companies.
