Capital in, governance out.
A DAO is not a form you fill out. It earns its treasury before a single vote is cast.
- 01
Fund
Open an escrow with a goal and deadline. Contributors send tokens directly into custody.
- 02
Activate
Hit the goal and the DAO goes live. Membership mints to backers, treasury seeds itself.
- 03
Govern
Propose, vote, and release funds. Every ballot is shielded, every outcome provable.
Why it stays private
Privacy that survives an audit.
Shielded ballots by default
Votes are cast behind Midnight zero-knowledge proofs. Nobody, not even an admin, can trace a decision back to a wallet.
Public outcomes
Tallies and treasury movements verify on-chain without exposing a single voter.
Anonymous membership
Credentials prove you belong without revealing who you are or what you hold.
Treasuries with real custody
Raised funds live in on-chain escrow and release only when governance approves a spend. No multisig theater, no trust-me spreadsheets.
Governance where your community already talks.
Every DAO ships with a Discord bot. Members get proposal alerts, cast shielded votes, and read tallies without leaving the server.
- Proposal alerts the moment voting opens
- Vote with a slash command, ballots stay private
- Live treasury and quorum status on demand
