Currently, Mantle DAO is evaluating a proposal that would prohibit the conversion of BIT tokens held by FTX Group into the new MNT token. Previously, Alameda Research, a branch of the FTX Group, swapped 3.4 million FTT tokens for a staggering 100 million BIT tokens, which equated to around $43 million. Yet FTX's descent into bankruptcy prompted DAO members to introduce this proposal. MNT is a token that was launched as Mantle's L2 mainnet went live. The blockchain was established by the Bybit exchange, which initiated the merge of BIT (BitDAO) and MNT tokens. Controversies aside, there's robust support for this proposal within the Mantle enclave, spotlighting the overarching investor community's interests.

Arthur Hayes, Maelstrom CIO and ex-BitMEX CEO, argues that AI-powered Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) will revolutionize economic entities, making traditional structures obsolete due to their reliance on human labor and state-enforced contracts. He asserts AI DAOs, unfettered by physical forms and therefore state laws, will use smart contracts on public blockchains for self-governance and service provision. Hayes predicts that DAO capital markets will become the first genuinely global markets and decentralized exchanges will naturally monopolize the trading of DAO-issued tokens. Hayes sees a future trillion-dollar AI-powered economy that would significantly boost the value of blockchains like Ethereum.
