*Description*

Over the course of the last month, the first major decentralized governance
experiment on Ethereum launched and failed spectacularly. The experiment
was called the Distributed Autonomous Organization (aka the DAO). The idea
received a lot of interest. A lot. In a matter of just a couple of weeks,
the DAO had raised over $150 million from people who wanted to participate.
This was cause for both celebration and alarm - the DAO had suddenly become
a very high stakes social experiment.  Just last week a hacker found an
exploit in the DAO’s code, which enabled them to drain more than $20
million of that funding in a matter of hours. Join us tomorrow for a
debrief with one of the curators involved with the DAO project to learn
what exactly happened and what this means for Ethereum moving forward.
