Daoscord

The easiest and most convenient way to decentralize your Discord server!

How to install

Import the library in your project: npm install daoscord or yarn add daoscord. Then create a web3.storage account and pass the api key when instanciating :

const daoscordClient = new DaoscordClient (
        adminPrivateKey,
        rpcUrl,
        web3StorageApiKey
    )
await daoscordClient.init()

What is Daoscord?

Demeter, a Discord bot, has been an integral part of the DeFi France community for the past two years. Members earn reputation points every two weeks based on their activity, which can be used for voting, moderating, giveaways, and more within the community. The reputation points are calculated using the "quadratic founding" algorithm, similar to Gitcoin, which ensures a more equitable and fair outcome.

Despite decentralizing our decision-making, our tech stack still remains centralized. The bot logic is currently hosted on a single server. There is always room for improvement, and that was precisely our goal here!

How does it work?

The solution is a JavaScript library that: -deploys a DAO and create proposals using Aragon sdk -deploys a non-transferable ERC20 token which balance can increase or decrease to reflect members reputation -utilizes Biconomy's Smart Account for efficient transaction bundling -stores data (SC & members wallet addresses, proposals, etc.) on IPFS -relies on QuickNode RPC -delegates the members wallets management to DFNS -runs on Polygon PoS for scalability and low costs

Repository structure

The library is divided into 3 main parts:

• web3 holds the custom ERC20Votes contract used to allot voting power to users. It is deployed along the Aragon DAO and its TokenVoting plugin
• lib contains the core API to run the actions, calling and orchestrating the providers services together
• bot is the actual bot implementation. It can be installed on any Discord server
