DAOBase is a DAO aggregator and search engine designed to support DAOs and users in constructing their own reputation layers. It compiles essential information, social data, treasury assets, governance details, and more. DAOBase allows for seamless monitoring and evaluation of DAO performance, facilitating the collection of valuable insights and informed decision-making. ^[1]

Overview

DAOBase aggregates data from over 140,000 DAOs using a robust product model and extensive data support, providing a rich resource for researching the DAO ecosystem. ^[2]

DAOBase allows users to explore operational methods, governance structures, decision-making mechanisms, and community participation of DAOs, offering a comprehensive understanding of their operations and trends. ^[2]

The platform optimizes and categorizes information, making it easily accessible. Its user-friendly interface and powerful search functionalities assist researchers and decision-makers in navigating the complexities of the DAO ecosystem. ^[2]

Additionally, DAOBase plans to introduce an on-chain reputation system that records users' DAO activities on the blockchain, assigns reputation scores, and issues DAO badges. ^[2]

Aggregation of Basic Data

Fundamental data is essential for understanding DAOs, but it is often scattered and difficult for members to access. To address this, in addition to including the DAO's avatar, introduction, category, and official website information, foundational data has been aggregated. ^[3]

• Social Media: Popular social media platforms such as Twitter, Mirror, Discord, and Telegram are integrated. Metrics like Twitter followers, Discord community size, and Mirror article publications are monitored to visually represent the DAO's influence and activity level.

• Governance Token: Historical prices of all tokens on CoinGecko are tracked to provide a clear representation of the governance token's price. The number of token holders is also monitored through third-party interfaces.

• DAO's Management Committee: The management committee is a crucial part of the DAO's structure. Information about all multisignature members is made accessible by integrating the Gnosis Safe wallet.

Treasury Asset Monitoring & Evaluation

Alchemy and official APIs are utilized to monitor on-chain data from various mainstream blockchains. Additionally, data from prevalent protocols in the market is analyzed. This method ensures accurate coverage of DAO asset data across different chains and protocols, including detailed information on fund inflows and outflows. ^[4]

To conduct a thorough analysis of DAO assets, data on these assets has been initially collected. Prices from CoinGecko are chosen as the evaluation basis for fungible token (FT) assets. An independent evaluation framework has been developed for non-fungible token (NFT) assets to ensure effective assessment of this asset class. ^[4]

The PASS

The DAO BASE platform provides three types of NFT PASSes: Staking Based PASS, Fixed Price PASS, and Bonding Curve PASS. These NFT PASSes serve as Utility NFTs and act as Proof of Passion (POP), granting access to a creator's squad or DAO. ^[5]

The PASS is a new type of infrastructure for Web 3 Creator Link-up, enabling the creation, management, and governance of DAOs through NFT PASSes. It serves creators like artists, DAOs, guilds, musicians, and projects. ^[5][6]

It assists mainly in four areas:

• Creation: Aggregating DAO information.

• Financing: Community support through various NFT PASS types.

• Engagement: Connecting with ecosystems like Townhall, Squad, Discord, Telegram, and the metaverse.

• Governance: Enabling voting via NFT PASSes and providing a DAO treasury analytic tool.

In February 2022, The Pass Bot feature was added for both newly DAOs and established DAOs. The PASS Bot facilitates the connection between DAOs and their members through NFT gated access. It caters to various creators such as artists, DAOs, guilds, and others. ^[7]

Staking

The Staking Token PASS comprises two components: ERC-20 token staked NFT PASS and ERC-721 token staked NFT PASS. These tokens are generated either by staking ERC20 tokens or by staking ERC721 tokens (NFTs). ^[6][5]

Creator/DAO Rewards

Creators' rewards vary depending on the type of PASS issuance. For fixed price PASS, the platform deducts a 2% commission fee, while the rest goes to the creator's address. With Bonding Curve PASS, creators can receive a percentage ranging from 0% to 20% of the Initial Sell. Staking Token PASS focuses more on utilizing existing ERC-20 tokens and NFTs rather than selling. ^[5]

Bonding Curve NFT PASS

A Bonding Curve PASS (BC) is a type of NFT PASS that combines speculation with DAO utility. As the supply of the NFT PASS increases, its price follows a formula that leads to higher prices. When people purchase a creator's NFT PASSes, the price of the NFT automatically increases at a predetermined rate. There are two types of Bonding Curve PASSes available: "Basic" and "Advanced". ^[8]

The NFT PASS of a DAO or community serves as proof of passion within the Web3.0 ecosystem. Every Web3.0 DAO or community is expected to release NFT PASSes in the future, which will serve as a footprint or on-chain proof for all Web3.0 users. Creators who utilize Bonding Curve PASSes can receive a percentage ranging from 0% to 20% of the Initial Sell. ^[8]

The PASS platform empowers creators by facilitating the creation of DAO communities, where members can gain ownership stakes, voting power in governance, and a sense of participation through NFT PASSes. These PASSes define ownership and allow individuals to showcase their personality within the platform. ^[8]

PASS Dashboard

The PASS Dashboard provides transparent data on DAO treasury, including FT vault and NFT vault, allowing users to track held assets and their values. The platform emphasizes DAO's transparency and shared governance, asserting that every member should have access to treasury information for true DAO principles. The PASS supports DAO evolution. ^[9]

Through The PASS Dashboard, users can monitor:

• Lists of specific FT and NFT assets

• Evaluation of NFT assets based on historical trades and floor price

• Historical transaction chart categorized by traits

Once the DAO profile is completed, the dashboard will be live within 7 working days after data processing. ^[9]

ThePASS DAO Search Engine

ThePASS's DAO Search Engine offers users a streamlined way to explore and engage with DAOs across different domains. Key features include: ^[10]

1. Comprehensive Database: Integrates DAO project information from various platforms into a single database, eliminating the need to visit multiple websites.

2. Intelligent Filtering and Recommendations: Provides personalized recommendations based on user preferences to help find relevant DAO-related content.
