DAO-Governed Fund Operations

We design and implement secure, on-chain governance structures for investment funds. Replace opaque committees with transparent, tokenholder-controlled voting on key parameters like fees, strategies, and redemptions.

overview
INFRASTRUCTURE

Blockchain API Development

Scalable, production-ready APIs to connect your application to any blockchain.

We build custom REST and WebSocket APIs that abstract away blockchain complexity, giving your team a single, reliable interface. Our solutions deliver 99.9% uptime SLAs, sub-100ms response times, and built-in rate limiting and failover logic.

  • Multi-Chain Support: Unified endpoints for EVM chains (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum), Solana, and Cosmos SDK.
  • Real-Time Data: WebSocket streams for new blocks, pending transactions, and event logs.
  • Enhanced RPC Methods: Custom endpoints for complex queries like token balances, NFT ownership proofs, and gas estimation.

Focus on your core product logic while we handle the heavy lifting of node management, data indexing, and network reliability.

ARCHITECTURE

Core Components of a DAO-Governed Fund

We engineer the foundational smart contracts and governance frameworks that power secure, transparent, and efficient on-chain funds. Our modular components are built for institutional-grade security and seamless integration.

01

Multi-Sig Treasury & Asset Management

Secure, programmable treasury contracts with multi-signature controls for capital deployment and asset custody. Supports native tokens, ERC-20s, and cross-chain assets via bridges.

Client Value: Eliminates single points of failure, enforces governance-approved spending, and provides real-time, on-chain auditability of all fund assets.

Zero Exploits
Audit History
02

Governance & Proposal Engine

Custom voting contracts with flexible delegation, quadratic voting, or token-weighted models. Includes proposal factories, timelocks, and execution automation.

Client Value: Enables compliant, transparent decision-making. Reduces proposal-to-execution time from weeks to days while ensuring all actions are permissioned and verifiable.

03

Investment Vault & Strategy Modules

Modular, upgradeable vault contracts for deploying capital into DeFi protocols (e.g., Aave, Compound, Uniswap V3). Each strategy is a separate, audited module.

Client Value: Isolates risk per strategy, allows for hot-swapping investment logic via governance, and provides precise performance attribution for LPs.

Member Registry & Tokenomics

ERC-20 or ERC-721-based membership contracts with vesting schedules, transfer restrictions, and fee distribution logic. Handles LP contributions, redemptions, and profit-sharing.

Client Value: Automates capital calls, distributions, and carry calculations. Ensures regulatory-compliant investor onboarding and transparent ownership records.

Oracle Integration & Risk Management

Secure price feed integration (Chainlink, Pyth) for portfolio valuation and liquidation logic. Includes circuit breakers and emergency pause mechanisms controlled by governance.

Client Value: Protects fund assets from market manipulation and oracle failure. Provides real-time NAV calculations and triggers automated risk responses.

Compliance & Reporting Layer

On-chain event emission and off-chain indexing stack for transparent reporting. Generates audit trails, tax documents, and performance dashboards for LPs and regulators.

Client Value: Drastically reduces operational overhead for financial reporting. Delivers immutable proof of all transactions and governance actions.

PROVEN FRAMEWORK

Our Development and Security Methodology

We build secure, scalable DAO fund operations on a foundation of battle-tested processes and multi-layered security, ensuring your treasury is protected from day one.

01

Secure-by-Design Architecture

Every contract is built with security-first principles, utilizing OpenZeppelin libraries, formal verification patterns, and a modular architecture for isolated risk. We implement role-based access control (RBAC) and multi-signature safeguards as standard.

Multi-Stage Audit Protocol

Our code undergoes rigorous internal review, automated static analysis (Slither, MythX), and final certification by leading third-party auditors like Quantstamp or CertiK before any mainnet deployment.

DAO Fund Governance: Key Questions

Common questions from CTOs and founders evaluating DAO-governed fund infrastructure. Based on our experience deploying 30+ on-chain treasuries.

Standard deployment is 3-5 weeks from kickoff to mainnet launch. This includes: 1) Week 1-2: Smart contract development & internal audit. 2) Week 3: Integration with your front-end and testing suite. 3) Week 4-5: Security audit (partner firm) and final deployment. Complex multi-chain or custom voting mechanisms can extend this to 6-8 weeks. We provide a detailed Gantt chart after the initial scoping call.
