Operate your community-driven project using a DAO

Build a decentralized autonomous organization for your community where people can submit and then vote on proposals.

Write a DAO smart contract

Extending the OpenZeppelin Governor contract, we create a governance contract that let the community makes decisions for the protocol.

Clone the smart contract examples

We've prepared a few different examples for you to get started.
git clone https://github.com/trustlesscomputer/smart-contract-examples.git

Compile the contracts

To compile your contracts, use the built-in hardhat compile task.
cd smart-contract-examples
npm install
npx hardhat compile

Deploy the contracts

Review config file hardhat.config.ts. The network configs should look like this.
networks: {
mynw: {
url: "http://localhost:10002",
accounts: {
mnemonic: "<your mnemonic with funds>"
},
timeout: 100_000,
},
blockscoutVerify: {
blockscoutURL: "http://localhost:4000", // your explorer URL
...
}
}
Run the deploy scripts using hardhat-deploy.
npx hardhat deploy --tags DAO
Make sure the accounts in hardhat.config.ts have some TC in your Layer 2 that are bridged from Trustless Computer Layer 1.

Interact with the contracts

Once the contracts are deployed, you can interact with them. We've prepared a few hardhat tasks to make it easy for you to interact with the contracts.
npx hardhat createProposal --target <your-address-to-receive-funds> --value <proposal-amount> --description <proposal-description>
npx hardhat castVote --id <proposal-id> --vote <voting-amount>
npx hardhat getState --id <proposal-id>
