  Decentralized autonomous organizations as a new form of online governance
arecollections of smart contracts deployed on a blockchain platform that
intercede groupsof people. A growing number of Decentralized Autonomous
Organization Platforms,such as Aragon and Colony, have been introduced in the
market to facilitate thedevelopment process of such organizations. Selecting
the best fitting platform ischallenging for the organizations, as a significant
number of decision criteria, such aspopularity, developer availability,
governance issues, and consistent documentation ofsuch platforms, should be
considered. Additionally, decision-makers at theorganizations are not experts
in every domain, so they must continuously acquirevolatile knowledge regarding
such platforms and keep themselves updated.Accordingly, a decision model is
required to analyze the decision criteria usingsystematic identification and
evaluation of potential alternative solutions for adevelopment project. We have
developed a theoretical framework to assist softwareengineers with a set of
Multi-Criteria Decision-Making problems in software production.This study
presents a decision model as a Multi-Criteria Decision-Making problem forthe
decentralized autonomous organization platform selection problem. Weconducted
three industry case studies in the context of three decentralizedautonomous
organizations to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of the decisionmodel
in assisting decision-makers.
