The Gamification Layer Every Profitable Decentralized Autonomous Organizations Needs in 2026
This session tackles a hard truth about Web3 and DAOs: most fail not because of technology, but because people stop showing up. In this high-energy, 20-minute thought-leader talk, Alina Tudorache reveals the missing behavior layer that determines whether decentralized communities thrive or quietly fade into inactivity.
Drawing on real-world DAO and SocialFi examples, Alina shows how behavioral science, gamification, and tokenomics must work together to sustain motivation, participation, and trust over time. The focus is not on tools or hype, but on the human dynamics that drive contribution, ownership, and long-term engagement in decentralized systems.
Takeaway: DAOs donā€™t fail because of code. They fail when behavior isnā€™t designed.
