#PR: Floki Successfully Upgrades Token Contracts in Migration to Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO)

Decentralized autonomous organizations (DOAs) have helped evolve the cryptocurrency revolution. Given that crypto was founded on the idea of decentralization, it comes as no surprise that more and more crypto related products have begun transitioning to DAOs. Accordingly, more crypto products have adopted this way of governance for crypto-based projects. The latest cryptocurrency to start transitioning to this format is Floki, a fast-growing crypto company that’s on the verge of becoming the next blockchain project to make its way to the top cryptocurrency in the market. 

A DAO is an organization with rules within code that automates the organization members’ control of the organization without the influence of centralized governments. In even simpler terms, a DAO gives the ability of organization members to control the key decisions of the organization. 

Floki has always been run by its community, but this weekend Floki took a step further in fully giving control of its token to its holders. In phase one of Floki’s transition to a DAO governance, Floki has upgraded its token contracts to facilitate that transition. Floki’s upgrade was done seamlessly with little disruption to its holders, which was an incredible feat in itself. 

Floki’s decision to transition to a DAO was made by the core Floki team for several reasons. First and foremost, a transition to a DAO gives further power to holders to make governance decisions for the token. For a cryptocurrency that has accepted the brand of “the people’s cryptocurrency,” power to holders is central to its mission. 

Second, Floki’s transition to a DAO gives it solid footing for listing on key centralized exchanges. For Floki to continue to grow, it must be easy to adopt by the average cryptocurrency adopter. Listing on larger tier one exchanges allows that mass adoption, and further solidifies Floki’s commitment to being the cryptocurrency for the masses. 

Third, data and trends show clearly that the DAO is the future of crypto as indicated by moves by crypto giants Binance, Kucoin, ByBit and respectable names like philanthropic giant Kimbal Musk. Bitcoin, in fact, was created to be a trustless and decentralized payment solution. Cryptocurrency was birthed with the idea of decentralization. 

Floki has gone through a series of necessary upgrades in the past, so this isn’t unfamiliar territory. In each of these upgrades, Floki has always come out stronger, because these upgrades are informed by data and done out of necessity and to help us secure key strategic advantages. This upgrade was no different.
