We are a team from Metagov and DAOstar, advancing the global DAO movement through standards like ERC-4824 and exploring diverse DAO narratives worldwide. We've commissioned multiple reports on the “State of DAOs” in Asia, covering Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Greater China, and SEA. Our panel will discuss these findings, focusing on DAO narratives, regulations, opportunities, and differences between Eastern and Western DAOs, aiming to bridge the gap in the global DAO discourse.

The Web3 space also faces scams, degen behaviour, and capture by centralised actors.  How do we guide Ethereum to stay aligned with human values as we build a new world?  Revisiting ancient Asian philosophies can help us reimagine a new world from Layer0.
