# The BLOCKS DAO

Most entities at their start are managed by a small membership team to stuard the early success of the organization. In the context of a DAO, member managed support begins to evolve from a self managed organization to a progressively decentralized autonomous entity. At the start, BLOCKS intends to lay the early foundation for the DAO to grow into a fully autonomous, algorithmic entity.
