The decentralized autonomy is not a new concept,the self-organization phenomenon in natural ecosystems,the cyber movement organizations on the Internet,and the distributed artificial intelligence,etc.,can all be regarded as its early manifestations.In recent years,the rapid development of block chain technology has spawned the emergence of the so-called decentralized autonomous organization (DAO),which is a new organization form that the management and operational rules are typically encoded on block chain in the form of smart contracts,and can autonomously operate without centralized control or third-party intervention.Therefore,DAO is expected to become a new and effective organization to deal with uncertain,diverse and complex environments.Defining the conception and features is the first priority.Furthermore,the five layer structural model of DAO analyzing frame to analyze typical Aragon model was proposed and the current issues as well as the research direction in future were discussed,hoping to provide significant guidance and reference for following researchers.
