How to Brick your DAO 🧱
Warning
Don't try this at home! This guide is meant to make you aware of some of the mistakes you can make which will brick 🧱 (ruin) your DAO.
Top ways to Brick 🧱 your DAO:
Set the minimum accepted Quorum Percentage of Votes in your DAO to 100%, and then lose access to the only Wallet Account which can vote 😱.
2. Go to the Aragon Forum for help and copy/ paste the private keys of the Web3 Wallet controlling your DAO. Someone found the private keys, took control of your wallet and is now in control of your DAO 😱.
3. Mint new DAO tokens to the address of the DAO, instead of to a DAO member, which makes the 'DAO address' the largest token holder. DAO addresses can not vote, and since it is the largest DAO token holder not a single vote can be enacted anymore 😱.
4. You have a bad actor in your DAO and want to get rid of him by removing/ burning all of his DAO tokens. Accidentally you remove/ burn all of your own DAO tokens, and the Vote to do so has already been approved by your DAO members! Now you lost control over your DAO 😱.
