DAO Turn Key Deployment

[GENERAL] Summarize your solution to the problem.

Create a turn-key DAO schematic for easy set up of DAO services.

[GENERAL] Summarize your relevant experience.

StakingDAO Team, ADAO Team, Web Devs, UI & UX design, Blockchain developers

[GENERAL] Requested funds in USD.

[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.

Building and developing DAO interfaces takes a lot of time and iteration. Right now lot's of teams are building on Cardano, all designing UI's from the ground up and having to figure out how to connect relevant parts to various blockchain tools.

We are already building out a lot of UI tools and will be connecting these to wallets, smart contracts, voting mechanisms and much more, and so we want to expand this work to create a suite of plug-and-play UI tools for the community to use in their own projects.

This will help cut design costs, man hours and enable general standards of design and formatting to be set, enabling a greater and easy to use Interface standard for DAOs on Cardano

Implementation:

• Nx deployment schematic of combined and individual tools to create a modular solution for projects to deploy the tools they need without having to design everything from the ground up
• Documentation detailing the deployment and personalisation of relevant services to enable projects to build ideas into products and services quickly
• Video guides and walk-throughs included

Integrated and turn-key tools:

• Improvement proposals
• Voting
• Wallet connection
• Staking mechanism
• Contract deployment documentation & integration tools

[IMPACT] Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.

This DAO Tooling (and by extensions all Cardano Dapps) will help make deploying DAO's that much easier and will reduce the amount of work needed for other teams to take their projects from idea to Mainnet!

A simple turn-key solution that will enable people to deploy the services they need with a templated front-end and detailed documentation on connecting services, styling to include project branding and more

[IMPACT] What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?

Integration issues could slow us down if we aren't hiring the right people to implement fast. Finding the people with the appropriate skills to build the services effectively could also slow development drastically.

To mitigate these risks we are partnering with the ADAO community to bring in the right people with the relevant skills as needed on a contractual basis. This will help reduce unnecessary costs and will allow us to hire people for the roles we need filled as soon as possible.

The ADAO community is huge and the core team have great connections to a lot of other companies and service providers within the Cardano ecosystem which will enable us to communicate with the relevant parties to help with tool integration

[FEASIBILITY] Please provide details of the people who will work on the project.

Rhys Morgan: StakingDAO, Blockchain developer, UI UX, SPO

Edi: StakingDAO, Haskell, software engineer, SPO

Keith Hedges: StakingDAO, Front end dev, DAO contributor

ADAO Team: We will be working directly with various members of the ADAO Core team and Builders, there are a lot of people within this community whom will be working on this project as and when necessary:

TCT, DzCodes, Tommy Crypto and more with consultation and support from David Baxter

[FEASIBILITY] If you are funded, will you return to Catalyst in a later round for further funding? Please explain why / why not.

No this proposal will give us the necessary funding to bring the project to life, after that we will offer certain tools as paid packages for the community to enable sustained growth and expansion of the project

[FEASIBILITY] Are you or any member of your team working on any other proposals in this Fund9?

[FEASIBILITY] Are you or your team working on any other proposals from previous Funds?

[AUDITABILITY] Please describe what you will measure to track your project's progress, and how will you measure these?

github commits, kanban board of project tracking on github

we will also do monthly progress calls which we will publish to YouTube to keep the community up to date

[AUDITABILITY] What does success for this project look like?

An initial turn-key deployable schematic of DAO services with wallet connection, voting, staking and UI for relevant tools.

Looking to the future we will offer more schematics of turn-key solutions for individual elements of web3 apps such as staking, voting, minting and more

[AUDITABILITY] Please provide information on whether this proposal is a continuation of a previously funded project in Catalyst or an entirely new one.

this is a new proposal and is not a continuation of another.
