What Are DAO Tokens?

DAO tokens are crypto tokens that give holders a vote in a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). A DAO is a group that runs on a blockchain, with rules written in smart contracts instead of a central boss. Holders use the tokens to vote on changes, budgets and new features. This list ranks DAO tokens by market cap, with live prices and 24h changes.

Quick Facts

  • Meaning: DAO stands for decentralized autonomous organization.
  • Main use: Voting on proposals, also called governance.
  • Examples: Uniswap (UNI), Aave (AAVE), Lido DAO (LDO), Compound (COMP) and Ethereum Name Service (ENS).
  • History: The first well-known DAO, called The DAO, launched on Ethereum in 2016. A hack of its code led to the split between Ethereum and Ethereum Classic.
  • Ranking: We rank DAO tokens by market cap. Market cap is the price times the coins in circulation.

How DAOs Work

Anyone who holds the token can usually create or support a proposal. A proposal can ask to change a fee, fund a team or upgrade the code. Holders then vote, and in most DAOs one token equals one vote. If a proposal passes, the change is made by a smart contract or by a trusted team. Many DAOs use a treasury, which is a shared wallet controlled by the votes.

Types of DAOs

  • Protocol DAOs: Run a DeFi app, like a lending market or an exchange. Aave and Uniswap are examples.
  • Blockchain DAOs: Help steer a whole network. Decred lets holders vote on changes to the chain itself.
  • Service DAOs: Run a shared service, like Ethereum Name Service for wallet names.
  • Investment and grant DAOs: Pool money to fund projects or research.

How to Compare DAO Tokens

Look at more than the price. Check the market cap, trading volume and 24h change on this list. Read how many holders vote, who holds the most tokens and how active the community is. A DAO with a few large holders may not be very decentralized. If you run a project and want your DAO token tracked, see the coin listing page.

Risks

DAO tokens can lose value fast, like other altcoins. Voting power is often held by a small group of large holders. Smart contract bugs can put a treasury at risk. Some governance tokens also give no share of income, so their value depends on demand alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

DAO tokens are crypto tokens that let holders vote in a decentralized autonomous organization. The DAO uses smart contracts on a blockchain to set its rules. Token holders vote on proposals, such as fee changes, budgets and upgrades. More tokens usually means more voting power, so the token works like a share of the voting rights.

A DAO in crypto is an online group that is run by code and by the votes of its members. There is no single owner or chief executive. Rules live in smart contracts, and members vote with tokens. DAOs often control a shared treasury and use it to pay for development, grants or other community goals.

We do not give investment advice, so we cannot name the best DAO tokens. The list above ranks DAO tokens by market cap and updates live. Well-known examples include Uniswap, Aave, Lido DAO and Compound. To compare them, look at market cap, trading volume, 24h change, the age of the project and how active its voting is.

DAO tokens work as voting tickets. A member writes a proposal, and token holders vote for or against it during a set period. In most DAOs, one token equals one vote. If the proposal passes, a smart contract or a trusted team makes the change. Some DAOs let holders hand their votes to a delegate who votes for them.

You can buy most DAO tokens on centralized exchanges or on decentralized exchanges. First, open an exchange account or set up a crypto wallet. Then buy a coin like ETH or a stablecoin and swap it for the DAO token you want. Check the token contract address carefully, because fake copies of popular tokens exist.

DAO tokens carry price risk, like all crypto. Large holders can control most votes, so small holders may have little real power. Bugs in smart contracts can lead to lost funds, as happened to The DAO in 2016. Many governance tokens give no share of profits, so their price depends mainly on demand from buyers.
