The DAO Canvas is a direct, co-created result of the collaborative work by members of the Genesis DAO.The tool is used to guide groups through the process of making the most vital decisions they face in the process of imagining their DAO: soft and hard governance, on-chain logic and off-chain group dynamics. Although focused on DAOstack's technology, the canvas works can also be used for non-blockchain native organisations.The process of defining and exploring your DAO’s structure and purpose with the canvas will finesse your use case, provide a powerful educational experience and generate high quality team dialogue that leads to  action.DAO Design Canvas has been used all around the world and has successfully designed the CuraDAO, the dHack, and more.
