In my last article, we looked deeper at what DAOs are and their potential to impact traditional organizations positively. I have to admit it, the idea of building a DAO in my mind used to seem daunting, and I believe there are many others with the same mindset, so we will work to change that in this article.
Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) have been making waves in the blockchain and cryptocurrency space. These decentralized organizations, which are run by smart contracts and governed by community members, offer a new way for people to collaborate and create value together without relying on centralized authorities.
Despite the potential benefits of DAOs, building one has traditionally been a complex and technical process, requiring a deep understanding of blockchain technology and programming skills. However, this is starting to change with the emergence of platforms like AirDAO, the latest platform that came to my attention when I visited Ghana in 2022.
AirDAO is a new platform that aims to make it easier for anyone to create their own DAO. With AirDAO, you don’t need to be a blockchain expert or a programmer to set up and manage a DAO. Instead, the platform provides a user-friendly interface and various tools and features that simplify the process.
In this blog post, we’ll take a closer look at AirDAO and explore how it works. We’ll also discuss the benefits of using AirDAO to build your own DAO and examine some of the challenges and considerations involved in creating a successful DAO. Whether you’re a blockchain enthusiast or a curious entrepreneur, this post will provide valuable insights into the world of DAOs and how to get started building your own.
What is AirDAO
AirDAO is a platform that promises to make the process of building a DAO accessible to anyone, regardless of their technical background. AirDAO aims to lower the entry barrier and increase the adoption of DAOs by offering a user-friendly platform that abstracts away the technical complexities of setting up and managing a DAO.
Powered by the Ambrosus Network blockchain and its AMB token, AirDAO is an ecosystem of innovative, user-friendly dApps accessible through a single dashboard. Users can create a DAO on AirDAO by filling out a form with basic details such as the DAO’s name, token, and governance structure. The platform then generates the smart contracts required to run the DAO and deploys them on the AirDAO network, formerly AMB-NET.
Once the DAO is created, members can participate in the organization’s governance by voting on proposals and making decisions that affect the DAO’s operations. AirDAO provides a user-friendly dashboard that makes tracking the DAO’s progress and managing its activities easy.
Benefits of using AirDAO
One of the key benefits of using AirDAO is its modularity. The platform allows users to customize their DAOs by adding or removing features such as tokenomics, proposal structures, and decision-making mechanisms. This allows for flexibility and customization, enabling users to create a DAO that fits their specific needs.
Another advantage of AirDAO is its community. The platform has a growing community of DAO builders and enthusiasts who can always offer support and guidance. This gives users access to a wealth of knowledge and experience, making it easier for them to create successful DAOs.

Most work done for you, you focus on building.
Despite the benefits of using AirDAO, building a successful DAO still requires careful planning and execution. Some of the key considerations include tokenomics design, governance structure, and community engagement. It’s important to ensure that the DAO’s tokenomics incentivize participation and align its members’ interests while ensuring the governance structure is democratic and transparent. That’s why AirDAO holds a very important role in removing the burdensome technical work from your hands, cutting a lot of the cost and time to get your DAO running and focusing on the non-technical aspects.
While AirDAO promises to make building a DAO easier, it’s worth noting that not all of its features are currently available. The platform is still in development, and some of its tools and features, such as the DAO builder, are not yet released. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t use AirDAO in other ways. For example, you can participate in staking on the platform by holding AIR tokens, which allow you to earn rewards and contribute to the platform’s governance. You can also vote on proposals and decisions that affect the direction of AirDAO. In addition, you can engage with the platform’s community and contribute to discussions on topics related to DAOs and decentralized governance. While the full range of AirDAO’s tools may not be available, there are still plenty of ways to get involved and benefit from the platform’s growing ecosystem.
Conclusion
In conclusion, AirDAO is an exciting platform that offers a simplified and accessible way to build a DAO. While the platform is still in development, it has made significant progress in making DAO creation more approachable to a broader audience. Despite the limitations on some of its features, users can still participate in staking, voting, and engaging with the community. Moreover, the recent news that AirDAO secured $25 million in committed capital from Gem Digital is a testament to the platform’s potential. This investment will allow AirDAO to accelerate its development and expand its ecosystem, potentially unlocking even more user opportunities. In a follow-up blog post, we’ll take a closer look at some of the other features of AirDAO, including its governance model and tokenomics design. Whether you’re a seasoned blockchain developer or just getting started, AirDAO offers an opportunity to be part of the growing ecosystem of decentralized autonomous organizations. I can’t wait to see more from this project. I will do a couple more articles to cover AirDAO’s products.
