Web3 infrastructure company Upstream is launching a new online course to teach students how to build a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). The 24-week course will cover topics such as tokenomics, governance structures, and compliance concepts.
📢 Introducing My First DAO (MFD).

To enroll in the course, students must mint a “DAOphin” NFT by Process Grey, the artist behind the popular Goblintown collection. At the end of the course, students will be able to burn their DAOphin NFT for a generative art equivalent with rarity traits built in.
The course will be taught by a team of experienced DAO builders and will cover all aspects of DAO creation, from ideation to launch. Students will learn how to:
- Define the purpose and goals of their DAO
- Design a tokenomics model
- Build a governance structure
- Comply with relevant regulations
The course will also provide students with the opportunity to network with other DAO builders and learn from their experiences.
“There are a lot of concepts around starting online communities that people don't understand, such as tokenomics, governance and voting,” said Alex Taub, co-founder of Upstream. “That's also one of the reasons why it's harder on adoption … I think putting together an amazing course about how to do it and why to do it will just unlock so many people's brains.”
The DAOphin open-edition mint is open from now until May 29, and each NFT is available for 0.015 ETH, or about $30. The course begins on June 1 and concludes in December with a wrap party at Miami’s Art Basel.
