DAO-as-a-Service Platforms

Status

"In the last few years, the adoption of DAOs has increased spectacularly: as of July 2023, 7M DAO members are managing $21 billion in crypto-assets within 13 000 DAOs.1 The rise of several DAO-as-a-service platforms in recent years has facilitated this rapid growth. These platforms simplify the deployment of DAOs on public blockchains by offering customizable templates that empower users to create their own DAO. They enhance community interactions and reduce the technical expertise required to operate a DAO. While platforms like DAOstack or Colony initially garnered attention, they have since experienced stagnation or slowed growth. Conversely, platforms like DAOhaus, which employ a straightforward governance approach, have witnessed rapid expansion, with over 900 DAOs currently active. The field is highly dynamic, and new DAO tools continue to emerge. Examples include Snapshot (an OFF-chain voting platform for DAOs), Gnosis Safe (for collective crypto-asset management), Coordinape (for resource distribution to contributors), and DaoLens (to facilitate contribution to DAOs), among others."
