Future proofing DAO governance

My name is Rika and I run Axia Network , a governance advisory firm focused on crypto protocols. I work with DAOs across the Ethereum and Bitcoin ecosystems to help them grow sustainably and make better decisions on behalf of their tokenholders.

Good governance is part research, part operations, part storytelling. On any given day, my work can span the following governance activities: reviewing proposals, vetting builder grant applications, producing public research, supporting marketing, talking with builders, or testing products.

This site is my workspace and digital garden: a living archive of that work, from formal reports to half-formed questions about where onchain systems are heading.

If you want to explore, start with governance portfolio and work samples, then branch into notes by topic in the sidebar.

Next, if you're looking to collaborate, here’s how we can work together.
