This paper explores the role of gamification in decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) that are run through rules encoded as computer programs called smart contracts rather than being managed by people. DAOs operate on a decentralized blockchain network and allow for secure and transparent decision-making processes without the need for intermediaries. Token holders typically govern them with voting rights to make decisions and allocate resources within the organization. In the context of ever-growing cities, previous research has shown that prosocial behavior and a positive mental attitude toward the environment are not always related. People without motivation tend not to take meaningful and valuable actions for their societies. Over the past decade, gamification has offered new strategies and tactics for encouraging and sustaining positive change. More recently, advances in blockchain technology have enabled the rise of DAOs. Therefore, this research aims to review and discuss the potential of gamification to support DAOs aiming at prosocial and pro-environmental transformations in cities, as well as the role of blockchain as a technology that fosters such societal improvements and enables organizations to better align with sustainability goals.
