# Community Token DAO

## Creating a Community Token DAO <a href="#creating-a-community-token-dao" id="creating-a-community-token-dao"></a>

Community Token DAOs are ideal for projects with a **distributed token economy** where governance should be **proportional to stake**.

## Prerequisites <a href="#prerequisites" id="prerequisites"></a>

Before creating your Community Token DAO:

* **Solana wallet** with at least **2 SOL (or 2.5 SOL for initial DAO metadata)** + network fees
* **Governance token** already created (or create through [**daoszn.fun**](https://www.daoszn.fun/launchpad/))
* **Basic understanding** of DAO governance concepts

### Start DAO Creation <a href="#step-1---start-dao-creation" id="step-1---start-dao-creation"></a>

Navigate to [**Realms**](https://v2.realms.today/) and click **Create DAO**, then select **Community Token DAO**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Governance Token Setup <a href="#step-2---basic-information" id="step-2---basic-information"></a>

Initial DAO setup requires an existing token for it to be created, alternative solution is to create a token through [daoszn.fun](https://daoszn.fun)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Basic Information <a href="#step-2---basic-information" id="step-2---basic-information"></a>

Enter your DAO's basic information:

* **DAO Name**: Choose a clear, descriptive name
* **DAO Description**: Explain your DAO's purpose and goals
* **DAO Image**: 1mb Max 512x512px
* **DAO Banner**: 2mb Max 1200x400px
* **Category**: DeFi, Social, Web3, NFT, Gaming, Legal, Other
* **Socials Links**: Website, Twitter, Discord
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Council Setup <a href="#step-5---council-setup-optional" id="step-5---council-setup-optional"></a>

Decide if you want a council:

* **Council Size**: Number of council members
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Review Settings <a href="#step-7---review-settings" id="step-7---review-settings"></a>

Review all your DAO configuration before deployment:

* Verify all parameters are correct
* Check token supply and voting thresholds
* Ensure treasury settings are appropriate
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Advanced Configuration (Optional) <a href="#step-4---voting-configuration" id="step-4---voting-configuration"></a>

Custom set up voting parameters:

* **Proposal Threshold**: Tokens required to create proposals
* **Max Voting Time**: How long members have to vote
* **Cool-off Period**: Duration after the voting ends during which the vote can only be removed or voted *NO*
* **Approval Quorum**: Percentage of total supply needed to pass proposals
* **Treasury**: Amount of initial treasuries upon creation
  {% endstep %}
  {% endstepper %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Security Considerations**: Always test your DAO configuration with small amounts first and double-check all parameters.
