  This note and agenda serve as a cause for thought for scholars interested in
researching Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), addressing both the
opportunities and challenges posed by this phenomenon. It covers key aspects of
data retrieval, data selection criteria, issues in data reliability and
validity such as governance token pricing complexities, discrepancy in
treasuries, Mainnet and Testnet data, understanding the variety of DAO types
and proposal categories, airdrops affecting governance, and the Sybil problem.
The agenda aims to equip scholars with the essential knowledge required to
conduct nuanced and rigorous academic studies on DAOs by illuminating these
various aspects and proposing directions for future research.
