DAO work can look like full-time employment, a grant, a bounty, a seasonal workstream,
or volunteer contribution that grows into paid work. Confirm scope, compensation,
legal terms, and who can approve payment before starting. Job boards are discovery
tools, not endorsements; verify every listing against the DAO's own website, forum, or
governance space.

How to evaluate an opportunity
- Read the DAO's mission, recent proposals, treasury situation, and contributor docs.
- Check whether compensation is fixed, milestone based, retroactive, token based, or unpaid.
- Find the person or group with authority to approve the work and payment.
- Start with a small scoped contribution before committing significant time.
- Keep your own written record of deliverables, approvals, wallet addresses, and invoices.
Good first roles
- Proposal research and governance summaries.
- Community onboarding, moderation, or events support.
- Analytics dashboards for treasury, voting, grants, or product usage.
- Design, documentation, translation, and education work.
- Engineering tasks with clear repositories, review owners, and payment milestones.
