DAO RESEARCH WEB3 STACK PROTOCOL
We don't belong in your reality, your real life. In your reality, your real life, you can merely meet our avatars in any version. So, stay alert and beware of scams!
Executive Summary
DAO tooling is often scattered, inconsistent, and difficult to scale. The Web3 Stack Protocol introduces a structured, layered approach to build and maintain DAOs in a way that is modular, composable, and protocol-aligned. This research outlines how each governance function can be placed within the stack — from wallet to decision logic — to enable flexible and resilient DAO architectures.
Governance Layers in Web3 Stack Protocol
Wallet & Identity
Defines participant identity and access
Smart Accounts, ERC-725/735
Proposal Layer
Manages ideas and decision flows
Snapshot, DAOhaus, JokeDAO
Execution Layer
Enacts decisions and treasury control
Gnosis Safe, Zodiac Modules
Reputation Layer
Tracks contributions and voting weights
Coordinape, Karma, Otterspace
Governance Interface
Displays DAO data & facilitates interaction
Tally, Boardroom, custom frontends
iBLOOMING DAO Use-Case
iBLOOMING’s vision of participatory education governance can use the stack to:
Link Soulbound IDs to learner/mentor roles
Use off-chain voting (Snapshot) + on-chain treasury (Gnosis Safe)
Track contributor activity via NFT-based reputation
Display governance participation via public dashboards
Benefits of Stack-Aligned DAO Design
Modularity → Swap components (e.g. Snapshot → Tally) without redoing architecture
Resilience → Failures in one layer don’t compromise the whole DAO
Composable Participation → DAOs can interoperate or delegate to other DAOs with clarity
Challenges and Responses
Too many scattered tools
Use stack blueprints for tool selection
Poor documentation and user onboarding
Standardize with stack-based training layers
Inflexible governance models
Encourage protocol upgrades and role modularity
Stack Blueprint for iBLOOMING DAO
Identity: Soulbound NFT using ERC-725 + role-based schema
Voting: Snapshot + token-weighted with optional reputation override
Execution: Gnosis Safe + module for conditional transfers
Interface: Custom dashboard with learning outcomes + vote history
Upgradability: Layered governance to propose tooling changes
Conclusion
The DAO of the future is not built monolithically — it’s stacked. The Web3 Stack Protocol offers a way to orchestrate governance tools, reduce risk, and promote transparency in a modular and scalable framework. iBLOOMING has the potential to become its flagship use-case in education.
