Ten Ways DAOs Get Owned: A Governor Maintainer's Threat Model
Luiz Vasconcelos
DAO treasuries sit behind governance contracts, and governance is an attack surface like any other. This talk catalogs ten ways onchain governance gets taken over or ground to a halt: flash-loaned voting power, decaying quorums, proposal spam, timelock capture, delegation markets, and more. Each is grounded in a real incident or disclosed vulnerability, and each ends with the mitigation that now exists. If your protocol has a governor and a treasury, this is the threat model you inherited.
