- Abstract: While the physical lives of many of us are in democracies (one person, one
vote - e.g., the EU and the US), our digital lives are mostly in autocracies
(one person, all votes - e.g., Facebook). Cryptocurrencies promise liberation
but stop short, at plutocracy (one coin, one vote). What would it take for us
to live our digital lives in a digital democracy? This paper offers a vision, a
theoretical framework, and an architecture for a grassroots network of
autonomous, people-owned, people-operated, and people-governed digital
communities, namely a grassroots democratic metaverse. It also charts a roadmap
towards realizing it, and identifies unexplored territory for further research.

Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) have emerged as a novel way to coordinate a group of entities towards a shared vision.
In just a few years, over 4,000 DAOs have been launched in various domains, such as investment, education, health, and research.
Despite such rapid growth and diversity, it is unclear how theses actually work in practice and to what extent they are effective in achieving their goals.

These flaws may be insurmountable because digital identity is a cart pulling the horse.
