Welcome! ✨
Gov is a DAO framework built with Open Zeppelin’s Governor contract in combination with NFTs. It provides a coordination tool that fits the needs of everyday people.
We’re inviting orgs, federations of orgs, activists, neighborhoods, stewards of the commons, collectives, and all communities to create their own DAO. The Web3 Hackers Collective has recently released the v0.10.0 of Gov. We want to run a series of pilots and focus on the impact evaluation process of each DAO.
Gov is fully compatible with Tally, and you can also use Gov UI v0.10.1 (view the deployment section). You can test the web app here:
You don’t need any wallet or ETH to test it!
Deploy your own DAO
You can find the deployment checklist here. Once you decided about (1) your mission statement, (2) the types of proposals you expect, and (3) the vote settings, we can take an hour to deploy your DAO to the network of your choice. Feel very free to contact Julien directly via Element, Telegram, Twitter, Discord, or LinkedIn.
You can use Gov Deployer but it is currently under development.

DAO membership NFTS
The membership of your DAO is represented by an NFT. One person, one vote. These NFTs can be viewed as ‘membership cards’. They’re customizable: you can submit a proposal to modify the metadata of your NFT.
Since v0.10.0, these NFTs are non-transferable by default (“SBT”).
On-chain voting system
Open Zeppelin’s Governor contract defines the voting rules: it allows members to cast a their vote, it counts the votes and execute the proposal if successful.
Customizable interface with email login
In addition to Tally interface, you can get your own web app (website). The users, members of your DAO, don’t need any wallet to submit proposals, vote, delegate their voting power, etc.
Members vote to add or ban a member
You can add or ban a member of the DAO by submitting a proposal.
Timestamp-based
Gov is timestamp-based by default, as opposed to blockNumber-based.
Easy to config, deploy and run
Gov is one of the easiest existing way to launch a secure and scalable DAO.
Fully compatible with Tally
You can use Tally to monitor your DAO, submit proposal and vote.
Extreme composability/modularity
The Governor contract allows us to trigger custom on-chain actions. When you deploy a Solidity contract and transfer its ownership to the Gov, the DAO is the only entity allowed to interact with functions marked onlyOwner. The plugins are optional functionalities you can add to your DAO.
Upgradeable governance settings
You can upgrade the voting parameters by a community vote. Learn more about the vote settings.
