Implementation & Operations
Frequently Asked Questions for DAO OpEx Controllers
Get clear answers on timelines, security, costs, and ongoing support for your DAO's financial operations.
Standard deployment for a multi-sig treasury and automated expense workflow takes 2-3 weeks. Complex integrations with existing payroll systems, custom governance modules, or multi-chain setups can extend this to 4-6 weeks. We follow a phased approach: Week 1 for design & smart contract architecture, Week 2 for core development, and Week 3 for testing, security review, and deployment.
