DAOstar One is a roundtable of key organizations in the DAO ecosystem. We build interoperable standards and other public infrastructure for DAOs and DAO tooling.
The next roundtable meeting is on May 6, 2022 at 11am ET / 4pm UTC.
EIP-4824: DAO API [Working Paper]
Membership via Attestations [Working Paper]
A group of DAO folks from Aragon, Moloch, Gnosis, Abridged, Tally, and Metagov were chatting at MCON 2021 and someone asked, “wait, hasn’t someone already built a standard for DAOs?” When we realized that the answer was “no”, we decided to start building it. The roundtable emerged out of the effort to build the standard.

Each roundtable meeting includes representatives from key organizations in the DAO ecosystem, and each organization can send up to two representatives per meeting. Since DAOstar One focuses on building technical standards, we highly recommend that one representatives be a technical person such as a software developer, data scientist, or engineer. The roundtable meets monthly.
Schelling Point. We are presenting the draft as part of a panel on DAO interoperability at Schelling Point on Feb. 17.
Community calls & workshops. We host a series of biweekly open community calls to discuss the standard and to answer questions. You can sign up for the calls using this form.
Multi-chain. We plan on drafting a multi-chain DAO standard immediately after ETHDenver, and have brought in representatives from Interchain Foundation (Cosmos), DAO DAO (Cosmos), AstroDAO (NEAR), Solana Labs (Solana), ADAO (Cardano), and others to begin this conversation.
Docs and tools. We plan on releasing tools to make compliance easier, including reference implementations, prebuilt endpoints, templates, and documentation for all the URIs recommended in the standard.
Funding. We’re putting together a co-funding round led by the Ethereum Foundation, Aragon, Gnosis, MetaCartel, Radicle, GitHub, Gitcoin, and others to be announced. See the public grant proposal below.
DAO identity. We also plan to convene a working group including Spruce, Sismo, Lit Protocol, Superdao, kycDAO, and the DID Foundation to explore DAO identity, identity within DAOs, and verifiable credentials, which we decided was too controversial to go into the initial DAO standard.
