Not exactly.

I'm really interested in getting us closer to supporting DAC/DAOs, but I
don't think we're ready yet. I think the first digital organisms that will
"live" on the internet will be (are) much simpler. In fact, one of the
early conversations I had around IPFS/Filecoin is that purely
cryptocurrency-operated infrastructure (storage, bandwidth, and
computation) are necessary to get to truly autonomous agents living on the
internet.

For now, I'm building a plain old company focused on evolving internet
protocols. To be accurate, "the Filecoin network" and "the organization
developing the Filecoin protocol + software" are distinct, related
entities, so perhaps there's a proto-DAC there too.
