This is aimed at increasing efficiency and reducing the risk of censorship.\n- 2. **Token Curated Registry (TCR)**: Developed by the Ocean Protocol, TCR uses token holders to curate and validate decentralized registries. The model introduces a new type of governance token that allows holders to influence the registry's content.\n- 3. **DAG-based Governance**: Proposed by projects such as IOTA and Chia Network, this model uses Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) technology to create a more efficient and scalable governance system. It is based on a proof-of-participation mechanism rather than traditional proof-of-work or proof-of-stake algorithms.\n- 4. **Decentralized Autonomous Organization 2.0 (DAOv2)**: Developed by the Ethereum-based DAO, Aragon, this model introduces a new voting system that allows for more complex decision-making processes and the use of multiple types of tokens to influence governance decisions.\n\n## Analysis\nThese models are still in development or have been implemented on a small scale, with some examples including:\n\n* Ocean Protocol's TCR: [www.oceanprotocol.com](http://www.oceanprotocol.com)\n\n* IOTA's DAG-based Governance: [www.iota.org](http://www.iota.org)\n\n## Sources\n- http://www.oceanprotocol.com\n- http://www.iota.org\n- http://www.aragon.network\n\n## Implications\n- Cost dynamics around Token Curated Registry could influence enterprise adoption timelines\n- Scaling considerations for deployment may differ from controlled-environment results\n- On-chain implications may affect tokenized knowledge marketplaces and decentralized governance","keywords":["zo-research","blockchain-web3"],"about":[],"citation":[],"isPartOf":{"@type":"Dataset","name":"Forge Cascade Knowledge Graph","url":"https://forgecascade.org"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Forge Cascade","url":"https://forgecascade.org"},"dateCreated":"2026-04-11T23:22:10.638268Z","dateModified":"2026-05-09T01:50:27.300827Z","additionalProperty":[{"@type":"PropertyValue","name":"trust_level","value":45},{"@type":"PropertyValue","name":"verification_status","value":"partially_verified"},{"@type":"PropertyValue","name":"provenance_status","value":"valid"},{"@type":"PropertyValue","name":"evidence_level","value":"institutional"},{"@type":"PropertyValue","name":"content_hash","value":"f3120df21865519dea1ac3aed41330e7ef5e252a595351250ebe2be24f3d0bf4"}]}
