<aside> 🦚 This chapter provides a proposal for a design thinking framework for DAOs and the purpose-driven tokens that steer them. It is a structured set of questions that need to be answered in an iterative manner. The questions can help systematically navigate the engineering design process. The framework presented here will also be used to analyze the DAO use cases in later chapters of this book.
