DAOstar: DAO Standards

Introduction

DAOstar is an initiative focused on creating and maintaining standards for Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs). This repository hosts the website for daostar.org, as well as reference implementations, schemas, and other assets related to DAO standards, including but not limited to EIP-4824: Common Interfaces for DAOs.

DAOstar aims to provide a unified framework for DAOs, making it easier for organizations to adopt and implement standards that ensure interoperability, security, and ease of use.

The project is maintained by DAOstar One with support from Metagov.
