Role Call is a 6-part miniseries on DAOs, produced by Rehash and co-hosted by Hats Protocol.

In our second episode of Role Call, we're joined by special guest host, Amy Jung (Eigen Foundation), to talk to Rafa (Governance Lead at ZK Sync Association) about the future of DAO governance and the implications of the end of the era of airdrops.

We talk about the challenges in designing sustainable governance models, differentiating between geographic and interest-based communities, and the concept of soft versus hard accountability in DAOs. Rafa also delves into governance at ZK Sync, the importance of modularity and composability, and the evolving mechanisms of distributing control in the crypto space.
