gm and welcome to State of the DAOs!
Community health is essential for the success and longevity of a DAO. A healthy community leads to increased engagement, resilience, and adaptability, allowing the DAO to develop and grow towards fulfilling its purpose.
Currently, community leaders don’t have good metrics to assess the health of communities. Low-impact web2 metrics like followers, likes, and retweets are insufficient to gauge member engagement or identify deep insights into the needs of a community.
This week, we take a look at a new community health framework developed by TogetherCrew, a project incubated by RnDAO. Their practical and simple dashboard gives community leaders insight into the functioning of the various human systems within the DAO, allowing them to respond to high-impact data on how the community operates, its communication patterns, member behavior, and sentiment.
Next, we take a look at Meta-Governance, a new service being offered by the BanklessDAO DAOStewards. Meta-governance is governance-as-a-service, offered to other DAOs or web3 communities. Meta-governance is intended to strengthen community governance procedures with services ranging from passive interventions like voting on Snapshot, to active interventions like drafting proposals and engaging in forum discussions.
Finally, we want to highlight the work of our new sponsor Game7 DAO. This week they are launching Summon, their new DAO governance platform at ETHDenver. Summon is designed as a meritocratic governance model that distributes power and governing rights to the most productive members of the community. By tracking, measuring, and rewarding contributions, Summon gamifies the contributor journey to build a healthy community around engagement.
Building a healthy community is a crucial aspect of the success of any organization. From tools and services to incentives, we are here to share various approaches that can be utilized to foster a thriving community, helping to drive the growth and sustainability of a DAO.

Game7 is excited to launch Summon, our novel DAO governance platform at ETHDenver this week.
Summon is a community LiveOps tool that takes governance to the next level by making it easy for DAOs to measure the contributions of their members, and reward them in ways that go beyond money.
How it works: Each community member mints a Soulbound NFT that evolves as the member contributes to the community, making the NFT upgradeable and unique. As each contributor completes quests and tasks, they earn experience points (XP), which help them move up in rank and unlock features and rewards in real time.
