Hey all,

I took some time to explain the structure of the entities in a visual format. What’s the DAO do? What’s the Foundation do? Where’s the special counsel come into play? And what about the Guard token?

All this and more is explained in this graphic below. I hope it provides clarity and gets you up to speed!
