The ownership economy in crypto is growing fast. DAOs small and large are being started every day, with large projects such as Compound, Uniswap, Synthetix, Gnosis, Aragon, Aave, Balancer, Curve, and many more progressively decentralizing power to users.

Existing governance platforms are not providing the needed flexibility and incentive alignment. They all suffer from one or more of these issues:
The solution to this problem is a decentralized governance toolkit that focuses on flexibility and aligning incentives with the current ownership economy movement:
We think this is a no-brainer: the Ethereum community has already adopted many of the standards needed to build DAOs flexibly. Let's finish the job and build a DAO framework using those standards.
Lego DAO’s MVP is an initial iteration of this approach, synthesizing Gnosis Safe, a Compound Governor fork, and open source user interfaces into a usable, flexible DAO that’s interoperable with most ownership economy projects out of the box.
