Classifying Proposals of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations Using Large Language Models

Our study demonstrates the effective use of Large Language Models (LLMs) for automating the classification of complex datasets. We specifically target proposals of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), as the clas-sification of this data requires the understanding of context and, therefore, depends on human expertise, leading to high costs associated with the task. The study applies an iterative approach to specify categories and further re-fine them and the prompt in each iteration, which led to an accuracy rate of 95% in classifying a set of 100 proposals. With this, we demonstrate the po-tential of LLMs to automate data labeling tasks that depend on textual con-text effectively.

Token vs Equity for Startup Financing

Why would a blockchain-based startup and its venture capital investors choose to finance by issuing tokens instead of equity? What would be their rates of return for each asset? This paper focuses on the liquidity difference between the two fundraising methods. I build a three-period model of an entrepreneur, two types of investors, and users. Some investors have unforeseen liquidity needs in the middle period that can only be met with tokens. The entrepreneur obtains higher payoff by issuing tokens instead of equity, and the payoff difference increases with investors risk-aversion and need for liquidity in the middle period, as well as the depth of the token market.
