Gov

A DAO framework built with Open Zeppelin's Governor contract in combination with NFTs.

• Gov.sol is the Governor contract
• NFT.sol is the NFT contract (ERC-721)

Since v0.10.0, Gov is using non-tranferable membership NFTs ("SBTs"), it is also timestamp-based by default.

Motivation

Provide a coordination tool that fits the needs of regular users.

• Documentation
• Gov UI
• Gov UI repo
• Gov Deployer
• Gov Deployer repo
• Example DAO on Tally

Install

pnpm install

Test

pnpm test

Deploy

Create a .env on the model of .env.template:

cp .env.template .env

• Add your own keys in your .env file
• Edit the dao.config.ts file (optional)
• Check if the main account has a sufficient wallet balance:

pnpm bal

• Then deploy to Sepolia:

pnpm deploy:sepolia

Then you can add your DAO in Tally and/or spin up your own interface using Gov UI.

Security

Here are the differences between the Governor/ERC-721 implementations suggested by Open Zeppelin and ours:

Gov.sol

The following function is onlyGovernance, meaning it can only be triggered by a vote.

• setManifesto() updates the CID.

NFT.sol

The following functions are onlyOwner, and since the NFT contract ownership is transferred to the Gov contract, they can only be triggered by a vote.

• safeMint() adds a new member.
• govBurn() bans a member.
• setMetadata() changes the tokenURI of a given NFT ID.
