DAOHaus

DAOhaus is a no-code platform for launching and operating DAOs, which uses the Moloch open source code.

It includes functionality to: 

• Launch, vote on, and process proposals.
• Monitor multiple treasuries, known as ‘Vaults.’
• View members by number of shares and join date.

DAOs have used DAOhaus software to raise more than $50M and distribute almost $20M.

Creating a DAO involves a lot of technical and governance knowledge. DAOhaus makes it easier to get started by grouping a lot of the tools needed and providing quick-start templates to speed up the process.

While considerably smaller than competitor Aragon, DAOhaus is a DAO itself, which may appeal to communities who want to play an active role in improving the product and sharing in the upside. Another interesting difference is that DAOhaus implements the Moloch DAO ‘rage quit’ mechanism, which allows members to exit the DAO with their share of resources if they disagree with the outcome of a vote. This functionality is also available using the Aragon governance platform.

For those wishing to create their own DAO, users can ‘Summon’ a new DAO. There are two options:

• Hard mode: Set your own parameters, such as which tokens you’ll accept for proposal deposits and rewards, how many proposals you’ll allow per day, and how long proposals will remain open.
• Fun mode: Choose from existing governance templates used by different types of DAOs, such as Guilds, Grants, Investments, Protocols/Products, and Social Clubs. This option is particularly useful for those looking to create their first DAO.

The Hub allows users to explore the DAOs using DAOhaus and see notifications and proposals across all the DAOs they are a part of. 

To join a DAO, prospective members will have to create a proposal where they pledge the required amount of “tribute” (DAOhaus’ terminology for token) in exchange for shares. Current members will have to sponsor, vote, and process a new member before they can join.

Anyone may submit a proposal, but only those who hold the required number of tokens can sponsor a proposal or vote on it. Proposals are measured primarily on the number of shares that voted, not the number of members. The rough cost of submitting, approving, and processing a proposal is $100 (as of September ‘21.)
