About Tribute Labs↴
We at Tribute Labs are pioneers at the intersection of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) and artificial intelligence (AI). Based in New York, we merge AI-driven capital management with democratically governed DAOs to reshape the future of finance, venture funds, and digital governance. Our innovative approach harnesses blockchain and AI to automate venture investing and decision-making, positioning us as leaders in building the next generation of autonomous, tech-driven communities.
Our Mission
We empower communities to self-organize and collaborate through internet-native, decentralized platforms. By building open-source frameworks, we enable groups to reimagine industries and replace traditional top-down structures with dynamic, community-driven 'hive minds' where every member has a voice.
Our Vision
We envision a future where decentralized systems and AI-driven decision-making work in perfect harmony. Imagine a world where DAOs are the next phase of the internet—crypto-native organizations that enable people worldwide to jointly fund projects, forge meaningful connections, and govern themselves through smart contracts. By integrating AI into these digital communities, we augment human ingenuity with machine intelligence, ensuring decisions are faster, more efficient, and truly transparent.
Our Impact in Numbers
Leading the DAO Revolution
- We helped spark the resurgence of DAOs within the Ethereum ecosystem. Early on, we recognized the transformative potential of smart contracts for governance and finance. In 2019, we co-developed the Moloch v2 framework and launched The LAO—a venture investment DAO built to be compliant with U.S. law. Since then, we've supported a curated network of DAOs, including investment groups like The LAO and creative collectives like Flamingo DAO, spanning DeFi, the metaverse, digital fashion, gaming, music, and beyond.
- Together, our DAO communities have raised over $150 million in capital and backed over 300 projects. They fund startups, acquire NFTs, deploy capital into DeFi protocols, and even curate an internet museum for digital art—all governed entirely by their members. We provide the technical infrastructure, community management, and legal support to ensure these DAOs operate securely and remain at the forefront of innovation.
- A cornerstone of our strategy is our robust DAO Tooling suite. Our comprehensive suite includes advanced reporting, governance management, real-time notifications, and other essential tools that streamline the launch and operation of DAOs. By offering these powerful capabilities, we lower barriers to entry and enable seamless, upgradeable architectures that drive broader adoption of decentralized governance technology.
Pioneering AI-Driven Automation
- We're also leading the charge in integrating AI into decentralized governance. Our in-house AI engine, affectionately known as 'ADIN,' powers our venture DAOs by crunching data and delivering real-time insights. Acting as a co-pilot, ADIN enables our communities to make faster, smarter decisions—freeing our members to focus on strategy and creativity.
- ADIN pushes the boundaries of automation in crypto investing and governance by handling repetitive tasks and performing complex analyses. This allows our DAO members to concentrate on big-picture strategy while ADIN takes care of the data-driven details. We're not just rethinking finance; we're reimagining how communities curate content, manage projects, and collaborate in a decentralized world.
Building the Future of Decentralization & AI
- At our core, we're driven to revolutionize venture investing, governance, and beyond by harnessing the power of blockchain and AI. Our team of technologists, legal experts, and visionaries is dedicated to creating systems that are open, democratic, and intelligent. We're building a future where decentralized frameworks and AI-powered decision-making empower people to work together smarter, invest wisely, and govern their communities autonomously.
- And we're not just about technology. At Tribute Labs, creativity and collaboration are part of our DNA. We foster a vibrant, inclusive environment where our team is passionate about reshaping industries while enjoying every step of the journey.
- As we continue to push the boundaries of what DAOs can achieve and explore the potential of AI, we invite you to join us on this exciting journey. Together, we're building a world where innovation thrives and every great idea finds the capital and community it deserves.
- Welcome to Tribute Labs. Let's shape the future together.
