DAO DAO is coming to the Interchain, starting with a deployment on Osmosis. We’ve outlined some of our thinking about this in our recent DAO DAO Interchain Strategy blog post.

Passing this proposal gives the address osmo1559zgk3mxm00qtr0zu2x5n4rh5vw704q4mp2tn the ability to upload CosmWasm contracts to Osmosis without seeking further governance approval for each upload. This address is administered by DAO DAO core contributors.

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 Osmosis:

• 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) OGP has been gracious enough to provide DAO DAO with a grant for a full deployment of DAO DAO on Osmosis.

Details

DAO DAO will be deploying DAO tooling and related contracts on Osmosis. 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 Osmosis have completed an audit with Oak Security.

DAO DAO has already been deployed on Osmosis Testnet: https://osmosis-testnet.daodao.zone/

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 Osmosis 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 Osmosis community. For example, an account on another CosmWasm chain can control an account on Osmosis to trade, manage concentrated liquidity, or launch new pools. Osmosis 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 pricing information from Osmosis.

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’ve given the following Osmosis team members access to DAO DAO GitHub repositories:

• Sunny (sunnya97)
• Daniel Farina (daniel-farina)
• Niccolas Raspa (niccoloraspa)

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