DAO governance platform Agora to acquire Boardroom

In comparison, according to Coindesk, blockchain governance startup Agora is about to acquire its competitor Boardroom. The company sees the acquisition as a strategic move to strengthen governance within the broader Ethereum ecosystem, citing the USPresidentsTrump promised to clearly regulate the blockchain industry, and decentralized governance is expected to grow again.

Boardroom was founded earlier than Agora and has similar goals to Agora, but uses a more horizontal approach to blockchain governance. Boardroom has gradually moved from Agora-style DAO tool software to data feeds—similar to “Bloomberg” for cryptographic governance data. Agora declined to disclose the price of the Boardroom acquisition. Boardroom employees have been hired by Agora, and Boardroom founder Kevin Nielsen will continue to serve as an advisor. Agora Co-Founder Yitong Zhang said “there are no plans to abandon” Boardroom, and the Agora team will keep both platforms running and work with users to determine how to gradually integrate these tools.
