**Affirmed position.** Decision-making in Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) presents the following source proposition: By discussing some issues and challenges of these decision-making processes that can be observed in practice, this chapter gives an overview on different voting mechanisms in DAOs that try to tackle some of these issues and challenges with different technical implementations. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Without clear and effective governance mechanisms, DAO decision-making becomes slow and inefficient, delaying important changes and the resolution of internal issues. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31
