Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) is believed to play a significant role in our future society governed in a decentralized way. In this article, we first explain the definitions and preliminaries of DAO. Then, we conduct a literature review of the existing studies of DAO published in the recent few years. Through the literature review, we find out that a comprehensive survey towards the state-of-the-art studies of DAO is still missing. To fill this gap, we perform such an overview by identifying and classifying the most valuable proposals and perspectives closely related to the combination of DAO and blockchain technologies. We anticipate that this survey can help researchers, engineers, and educators acknowledge the cutting-edge development of blockchain-related DAO technologies.

从技术到社会：基于区块链的 DAO 概述


去中心化自治组织（DAO）被认为将在未来以去中心化方式治理的社会中发挥重要作用。在本文中，我们首先解释 DAO 的定义和预备知识。然后，我们对近几年发表的 DAO 现有研究进行文献回顾。通过文献回顾，我们发现仍然缺乏对 DAO 最新研究的全面调查。为了填补这一空白，我们通过识别和分类与 DAO 和区块链技术的结合密切相关的最有价值的提案和观点来进行这样的概述。我们预计这项调查可以帮助研究人员、工程师和教育工作者认识到区块链相关 DAO 技术的前沿发展。
