DAOs use tokens to incentivize their members and govern decision-making by the group.
“Thrilled to be becoming a member of Tulip, Poopie, and Burnt Toast @doodles,” Holguin tweeted immediately after the announcement, including that he has massive plans for the venture: “Part 2 begins now – prepare!”
