Prop 209: Allow DAO DAO and Polytone contract upload

DAO DAO is spreading across the Interchain—the next deployment will be on Stargaze. We’ve outlined some of our thinking about this in our recent DAO DAO Interchain Strategy blog post.

Passing this proposal gives the 3/5 multisig stars1565xc6aq0ycfx5zwusevpmwx6f5uzp93zuutfp the ability to upload CosmWasm contracts to Stargaze without seeking further governance approval for each upload.

The multisig includes Stargaze, DAO DAO, and community members:

About DAO DAO

With DAO DAO, projects and communities have immediate access to best-in-class DAO tooling without creating their own governance modules, smart contracts, DAO management and more. Try it today: https://daodao.zone

Our mission is to build better governance systems. Getting governance right is crucial to the success of decentralized crypto projects. Both communities and protocols need tools to come together, self-organize, and govern themselves.

The biggest features we aim to bring to Stargaze:

  • Beautiful UI for making proposals, voting, and exploring DAOs
  • Interchain Accounts via Polytone
  • Sophisticated organizational structures using SubDAOs and Authz

And much more:

  • Treasury spends and swaps
  • Manage staking
  • NFT creation and management
  • On-chain, governance gated key / value store
  • Proposal inbox
  • Discord integration
  • Customizable DAO widgets
  • Single DAO page (unique web page for your DAO)
  • DAO Press: publishing tools for a DAO run blog and official communications
  • Creating and managing vesting payments
  • Bulk actions import
  • Manage smart contracts (instantiate, execute, migrate, manage admins)

Stargaze and Jake Hartnell are graciously co-funding a grant for a full deployment of DAO DAO on Stargaze.

Details

DAO DAO will be deploying DAO tooling and related contracts on Stargaze. The initial deployment will focus on membership based DAOs (multisigs), and we plan to deploy Token Factory DAOs and newly improved NFT based DAOs as soon as they are ready and audited. Utility contracts such as cw-token-swap , cw-vesting , and more will also be deployed. All contracts we will deploy on Stargaze have completed an audit with Oak Security.

Polytone Interchain Accounts and Queries

In addition to DAO DAO contracts, we will be deploying Polytone to allow for accounts, smart contract, or DAOs on Stargaze to control accounts on other chains and vice versa.

We are excited for the new possibilities that will be unlocked for developers and the wider Stargaze community. For example, an account on another CosmWasm chain can control an account on Stargaze to trade NFTs. Stargaze teams can also use it to manage outposts across the Interchain. Moreover, Polytone includes an easy to use Interchain Queries implementation, allowing for smart contracts on other chains to reliably query information from Stargaze.

Frontend Codebases

Some DAO DAO frontend related codebases are currently private. The plan is to open source them again once we have a sufficient number of deployments and funding to sustain development.

As an interim measure, to protect against a scenario where DAO DAO disapears, we will give the following Stargaze team members access to DAO DAO GitHub repositories:

In the event DAO DAO shuts down, they will be able to host and maintain the infrastructure and have permission to do so. You will be able to verify their membership on the DAO DAO GitHub Organization page.
