We are building a DAO community management bot using Stellar, Soroban and Discord

Products & Services

Following the first stage of our project, it became evident that the redeployment of the bot posed a significant challenge, necessitating a high degree of technical expertise for effective customization and deployment across unique community environments. To counter this, we've initiated the development of a server owner signup and bot deployment feature for our web application. We have also constructed prototype smart contracts designed to deliver the functionalities we envision once Soroban is fully integrated into the Stellar mainnet. Although member voting capabilities aren't functional on the mainnet until Soroban's activation, we are in the process of conducting tests on futurenet. Our team has developed a prototype user interface for effective interaction with these smart contracts. Our goal is to further integrate Soroban functionality into our Stellar wallet client, a move that will empower Dapp developers with easy access to contract invocation, token deployment, token wrapping, and more. In terms of augmenting the bot's functionality, we will be introducing inter-server operability. This feature will enable users registered on one server to automatically receive eligible linked roles on other servers where the bot is deployed, streamlining user experience and fostering community integration across servers. By the end of stage 2, our objective is to deliver a fully functional DAO bot that any Discord community can utilize to deploy a DAO, either using their existing assets or employing the bot's built-in badge and role creation functionality to deploy new assets to the Stellar network. Our top goals for stage 2 include: The addition of a 'new community signup' feature, offering both free and premium features. This will not only create a revenue stream for the bot's hosting and maintenance costs but also empower communities to deploy their own Discord applications. Our application will host these for them, providing the required functionality. Importantly, deployment will not necessitate developer skills, and will allow white-labeling the UI for each server. The development of an open database of communities, to allow anyone to learn about a DAO, and view their governance history, as well as participate in governance if they are a member. The introduction of inter-server operability, eliminating the need for users to link their Stellar accounts multiple times. The development of advanced tooling functionalities, such as ledger data caching for quick accessibility and verifications. The provision of multiple options for DAO contract deployment to accommodate a variety of requirements. This includes classic asset adapters using Stellar Asset Contracts or Soroban-only tokens, alternative voting methods supporting a single token for DAO management instead of NFT badges and roles, new proposal creation methods allowing proposals to be highly customizable by their creators.
