A decision model for decentralized autonomous organization platform selection: Three industry case studies

Decentralized autonomous organizations are a new form of smart contract based governance. organization platforms, which support the creation such organizations, becoming increasingly popular, as Aragon and Colony. Selecting best fitting platform is challenging for significant number decision criteria, popularity, developer availability, governance issues, consistent documentation should be considered. Additionally, decision-makers at not experts in every domain, so they must continuously acquire volatile knowledge regarding platforms. Supporting selecting right decentralized by designing an effective model main objective this study. We aim to provide more insight into their selection process reduce time effort significantly model. This study presents problem. The captures platforms concepts systematically. on existing theoretical framework that assists software engineers with set Multi-Criteria Decision-Making problems production. conducted three industry case studies context evaluate effectiveness efficiency assisting decision-makers. participants declared provides reduces effort. observe empirical evidence from can make rational, efficient, decisions Furthermore, reusable captured Autonomous Organization Platforms employed other researchers future investigations.
