# DAOs (stands for Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) Governance on the [[Blockchain]]. From [[Austin Griffith]]: > My theory with DAOs is that they spent years building intricate smart contracts with no need/PMF. Right now almost everything a DAO needs is a gnosis safe with a custom frontend. (We are building a gnosis safe frontend starter kit) And DAOs are blowing up because of gov tokens so now everyone needs these tools asap.
