The Life DAO is a non-profit mutual protection community where members pool money together to help one another in the event of unexpected death. Members contribute to the fund, share in the risk and rewards; and have a say in governance. DAO funds are invested for a return and used for payouts in case of a member’s unfortunate demise. Surpluses of the fund are redistributed to the members. The DAO is powered by Takadao technology which manages risk and payouts via smart contracts and tokens.
