This is my final question :) There can be some more follow-up questions from the community.
A huge thank you to @azflin for sharing your journey and insights about @daosdotworld / DAOs / Industry trends, etc. with us today. I know it's midnight in your timezone now - please feel free to get some rest and respond when you can. Your genuine approach and builder's mindset have been truly inspiring.
Looking ahead, I hope everyone takes advantage of the connections made today. Reach out to Flin and dive deeper into the daos.world ecosystem and fundraising innovations.
Thanks everyone for joining!

Tako started as a lifestyle community advocating for high tech high life (meaning pursing a healthy lifestyle while the tech advances).
Building at the pace you do must be demanding both mentally and physically. How do you maintain balance and take care of your wellbeing while running @daosdotworld ? Do you have any specific routines that help you stay sharp and avoid burnout in this fast-paced building process? @azflin

every founder's journey has its share of challenges and learning moments. i'd love to hear about some of the speed bumps or unexpected obstacles you've encountered while building @daosdotworld
any epic fails or hacks in the project’s journey or your own journey that taught you something big and shaped how you approach building today? these stories often contain the most valuable lessons, and I'm curious what insights you've gained that might be helpful for other founders in our community. @azflin

you’ve said “just code, just ship.” some DAOs launched in weeks. This speed-to-market approach stands out in an industry where some projects get bogged down in endless development cycles.
what's your secret to building and shipping so quickly without sacrificing stability/performance? and how do you decide which features are essential for launch versus what can be added later? i'm curious about your practical approach to balancing speed with reliability. @azflin

you touched a bit on this earlier cos you plan to build long term.
- what's on the roadmap for @daosdotworld in the coming 2 quarters?
- where do you see @daosdotworld in 2 years, still a launchpad, or something bigger?
- what do you want to achieve with @daosdotworld (the end goal)？

@azflin
for those who might be new to DAOs but interested in participating, could you walk us through how to get started on @daosdotworld ?
what's the entry point and basic process for a regular user, and what key risks should they be aware of before diving in? many in our community are interested but may be hesitant. @azflin

i think $DWL (daos.world whitelist) token design is a smart approach to whitelist access that goes beyond the usual "first come, first served" or purely social mechanisms we often see in crypto.
could you walk us through the thinking behind $DWL? What problem were you trying to solve with this token, and how has it performed in practice? i'm particularly interested in how it's balanced accessibility for newcomers versus rewarding loyal community members, and any unexpected behaviors you've observed in how people are using it. @azflin

Regarding new ideas, I rememer in your previous posts or spaces, you mentioned adding social features like troll boxes and enhanced governance. How do you see the social layer evolving for @daosdotworld ? @azflin
There are several DAO memes like $FDREAM (grew impressively from ~$150K to $30M), demonstrated DW's impressive wealth effect. Looking at your successful launches, I'm curious about what factors you believe create a truly exceptional DAO project.
What do you think separates a good DAO from one that achieves that next level of growth? Is it about the sector they're in, their marketing strategy, market making capabilities, or something else entirely?
And as you look ahead, which sectors or DAO types are you most excited about for future launches? Are there particular verticals where you see untapped potential for the DAO model? @azflin

version shifts quickly in the industry. while there was strong momentum on AI memes and DAO memes late last year, much of the industry's attention has pivoted to bnb trenches lately.
i'm curious about your perspective on these market rotations. And how is @daosdotworld adapting its strategy to navigate these changing tides while still building something with lasting impact beyond just following the latest hot themes? @azflin

Expanding to Solana was a natural move. What gaps did Solana fill that Base couldn’t, and how’s it working out so far? @azflin
@daosdotworld (DW) started on @base . Why did you choose Base? I'm especially curious about @jessepollak 's early support and how Base's ecosystem helped your initial growth. (like $FDREAM’s 176x jump)? @azflin
DW is short for Daos.World
i've been following @daosdotworld since you launched on Base in late 2024. Could you share what inspired you to build a DAO launchpad specifically? How is DW different from other launchpads? (I saw there's a similar question from a community member.) @azflin

For anyone new to daos.world, how would you sum it up in 30 seconds. What’s the core mission, and why should a random Tako user care? @azflin
I'm thrilled to welcome you all to this special Founders Club mingling session with our featured founder of the week, AzFlin @azflin , co-founder of @daosdotworld .
Our mission at Founders Club is to create meaningful connections between visionary builders and connect promising founders with early high-quality adopters. Today's session perfectly embodies that mission as we engage with AzFlin and dive deep into one of the most innovative approaches to DAO fundraising and token launches in Web3.
I encourage everyone to engage actively with questions and reflections of your own (can be in English or Chinese). The strength of our community grows through these authentic exchanges!
Without further ado, let's welcome @azflin to the virtual stage!
Hey AzFlin, how are you doing today? Let's start with you telling us a bit about yourself (that side that I have not mentioned in the previous intro) and perhaps your journey from tradfi to "trench dev" to founding daos.world!

I'm thrilled to introduce our newest member and this week's featured founder: AzFlin @azflin , co-founder of @daosdotworld .
AzFlin is a builder with deep technical roots who transitioned from tradfi to Web3 in 2021. His journey took him through Genie (the first NFT marketplace aggregator) and Uniswap before embracing what he calls "trench dev" – working on various projects in the trenches of crypto development.
That builder's journey led to @daosdotworld , a decentralized launchpad designed to empower DAO managers to raise and manage funds on-chain. Launched initially on Base in late 2024 and later expanding to Solana, daos.world positions itself as "the world's largest DAO launchpad," facilitating trustless, transparent investment opportunities with a unique approach to curation and whitelisting.
AzFlin's vision centers on exploring new styles of token launches and what DAOs can truly accomplish. By rigorously vetting teams, requiring private documentation for accountability, and implementing innovative mechanics like the DWL token...
