Challenge
The top challenge was with regards to the infrastructure and information.
The top challenge for Foundance, a platform for creating and managing decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), is ensuring robust security and governance. As DAOs deal with decentralized decision-making and often manage significant resources, safeguarding against vulnerabilities, ensuring transparent and efficient governance mechanisms, and maintaining user trust are critical.
Addressing these aspects effectively is crucial for the platform's success and sustainability. That and navigating and adhering to relevant regulations and legal requirements.
The most challenging aspect for decentralised autonomous organisations (DAOs) typically revolves around governance and decision-making. Ensuring that all participants have a fair and effective way to propose, discuss, and vote on initiatives can be complex. Balancing transparency, security, and efficiency in these processes is critical, as is maintaining active and informed participation from members. Additionally, navigating legal and regulatory uncertainties poses significant challenges for DAOs.

Goals
Our interview process didn’t just have a big impact on the product as a whole but also on its usability. The UX team narrowed it down to three crucial findings: create a common but improved journey, basing our design on this journey makes it easier for users to adapt to the platform and organise their tasks better; use frameworks users are familiar with; introduce small changes that can have significant effects.
