Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) have had far-reaching implications that extend beyond the blockchain technology sphere and the global digital economy. This article examines the impact of DAOs on society and the economy, analyzing the current global landscape, converging technological trends, future directions, and the latest research in this rapidly advancing tech-fusion domain. DAOs have gained traction in various sectors, most notably in decentralized finance (DeFi), where they have disrupted traditional financial systems. DeFi platforms based on DAOs provide financial services without intermediaries, offering transparency, efficiency, and accessibility. They also have the potential to enhance financial inclusion and challenge the dominance of established financial institutions, as well as facilitate direct participation and voting for token holders.
