DAO Structure
Guardian
Guardians uphold the mission and mandate of VitaDAO and play a crucial role in steering its direction. The group is comprised of key stakeholders with significant VITA holdings, and is limited to seven members ("pizza team"), though not all seats have to be taken at all times.
Longevity Pod
The longevity pod is responsible for driving and executing VitaDAO’s efforts in the longevity space as a whole. The Pod shall be given a limited budget and have full autonomy over resource allocation, which can vary from time to time depending on VitaDAO’s needs.
Web3 Pod
Responsible for crafting and leading the execution of a comprehensive Web3 strategy, guiding VitaDAO’s efforts in decentralized innovation, tokenomics, and scaling a decentralized organization. It should be led by 2 co-leads.
