DAO Attestation List

[amanwithwings]

[DRAFT]Hey all, starting this post to explain the thinking behind DAO Attestation List website. Feel free to share your thoughts below!

What is it?

DAO Attestation List has 2 main components: DAO Schema Registry (which is an EAS schema), and the front-end. The front-end lists all schemas added to the registry, organized by issuer.

DAO Schema Registry is a public repository of DAO-related schemas on EAS (its a schema to keep track of schemas lol!). If you are building something on EAS related to DAOs, we highly recommend adding it to DAO schema registry. You can do this by visiting the website and clicking on Make Your Own. While registering, you can add multiple schemas at once, which will all be displayed in your issuer profile. All schemas you add from this address in the future will be listed in the same profile.

Why did we build it?

Attestations are super important in web3. They are being used to track contribution, manage trust-scores, award rights (including governance power), and in general for on-chain storage of data that verify or confirm specific information or actions. There are multiple ways to create attestations, including various frameworks that make them easy. Ethereum Attestation Service makes the process a lot easier by providing an explorer, indexer and an easy to use framework for issuing attestations.

DAOstar wants to ensure that attestations issued through EAS and attestations issued otherwise are interoperable with each other. We also wanted to create a public repository of all DAO-related schemas on EAS, because we believe it will surface a lot of important data, reduce duplication of work, and hopefully catalyze more collaboration between teams.

How can you contribute?

You can start by adding listing your schema. Feel free to use this discussion thread for feedback and feature request.
