本研究以探討不同分散式自治組織(DAO)的治理機制對決策效率的影響為目的，分析區塊鏈上分散式自治組織的運作方式，重點闡述幾個不同項目的治理方式。首先，本文概述了DAO 的概念、治理結構的重要性以及DAO 發展至今的重要組織、事件，並針對三個個案(Nouns DAO、ApeCoin DAO、Uniswap)詳細討論其治理機制，包含：決策機制、監督機制、獎勵機制、金流管理、組織成員等五個構面進行個別的分析，最後整理探討治理機制是如何影響DAO 的效率、透明度以及組織走勢。
本研究發現，提案機制與社群提案數量沒有直接關係，提案機制反而會受到整體社群風氣影響。除此之外，高效率與去中心化理念有時會產生相互排斥的狀況。並且，在DAO 的組織型態中，共識的聚集尤其重要，若一個組織缺少共同目標(common purpose)、中心思想，其組織方向容易被組織成員質疑，無法凝聚組織及市場共識。
最後，本文針對分析解果給出對於未來研究的建議，以進一步加深對DAO治理結構的了解。

This study explores the impact of governance mechanisms on decision efficiency in decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs). It analyzes the operational methods of decentralized independent organizations on the blockchain. Focus on the governance mechanisms in various aspects such as decision-making, oversight, rewards, fund management, and organizational members. The paper provides an overview of the concept of DAOs, emphasizes the importance of governance structures, and discusses significant organizations and events in developing DAOs. It specifically examines the governance mechanisms of three case studies, namely Nouns DAO, ApeCoin DAO, and Uniswap. Analyze their strengths and weaknesses, and how governance mechanisms influence the efficiency, transparency, and organizational trends of DAOs.
By comparing the governance mechanisms of different cases and analyzing their respective strengths and weaknesses, the study examines how these mechanisms impact the efficiency, transparency, and organizational trends of DAOs. The research findings indicate that there is no direct relationship between the number of proposals and the governance mechanisms. Instead, it is influenced by the overall community atmosphere. Additionally, there can be a trade-off between efficiency and the decentralized philosophy. Finally, in the organizational structure of DAOs, the aggregation of consensus is particularly crucial. If an organization lacks a common purpose or central ideology, the consensus and organizational direction can easily be questioned by members.
In conclusion, this study provides a comprehensive analysis of the governance mechanisms of different DAOs, examining their impact on decision efficiency, transparency, and organizational trends. The insights gained from this research will contribute to a better understanding and application of the potential of DAOs in the blockchain domain. The study concludes by offering recommendations for future research to further deepen our understanding of DAO governance structures.
