DAOs are internet-native organizations collectively owned and managed by their members. Wikipedia defines DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) as an organization represented by rules encoded as a transparent computer program, controlled by the organization members, and not influenced by a central government.

SEEDS utilizes a human-centric version of DAO known as DHO (Decentralized_Human_Organization).
