There are many tools out there for smart contracts, most of which we partner with (Aragon, for example). Other than smart contracts, we use Catapult, Discourse, Request dot finance, Murmur, Notion, coordinape, and a few others I'm sure I'm missing 🧐
I have to say, i am a bit disappointed with the level of engagement in DAOs(Including Blue chips). Mostly are just figuring out stuff after the sudden shift in markets.
ENS DAO uses Discourse as a forum, Tally for on-chain voting, developed ensgrants.xyz for more efficient grant allocation, Metropolis for multi-sig management, sablier for streams, occasionally parcel.money for contributor payments. Probs missing a few 😅
From BitDAO to Orange to Raid Guild are using CharmVerse to reduce coordination friction, build relationships between members, and boost member engagement.
Snapshot, discord, collab land, Custom governance tooling for onchain voting
Sporosdao.xyz and kali.gg Instantly form DE LLC onchain w operating agreement detailing how tokens represent member interests. Lets you reward contributors with onchain “sweat equity.” Full onchain gov and treasury mgmt (1 token = 1 vote).
- Snapshot polls to gauge interest (before on-chain vote) - on-chain proposals/voting via custom site (nextJS) and contract (Compound - Governor Bravo) - funds in Gnosis multi-sig - Discord for discussion
I hang around the AirSwap Discord and they sometimes use gather.town to meet
autonolas.network helps DAOs and protocols decentralize their off-chain! Happy to say we’re building products for Balancer and Ceramic 🫡🤝
discord/discourse/snapshot is the current most popular stack. that approach (chat, discuss, vote) is a skeuomorphic larp tho and will eventually be replaced by something much simpler and easier and native to the network
A few DAOs use Karma (www.karmahq.xyz) for gaining visibility and accountability of their contributors and take various actions.
skimmed through the replies and didn’t really see anyone mention anything related to Treasury management. I expect non-custodial managed DeFi vaults like the ones we’re building at Sommelier to be go-to products for DAOs
For @fingerprints it’s a combination of - Discord (chat) with sesh (polls) + Vulcan (verification) - Discourse (forum) - Safe (vaults) - Snapshot (voting) - Parcel (payments) - Vercel (website) - sendgrid (email) - jotform (forms) - notion/google workspace (core team) However, tools really depend on the org design
At @brightmoments we use: - Gnosis - Snapshot - Discord - Delegate.cash - Dune - Uniswap - Collab.land - Etherscan - Hardhat - Foundry - Luma - Discourse - Mirror And a bunch of off-the-shelf web2 stuff like Squarespace, ConvertKit, etc.
