Community Token DAO

A Community Token DAO is the most common type of DAO where governance power comes from holding governance tokens. Members vote on proposals proportional to their token holdings.

Creating a Community Token DAO

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

Prerequisites

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)

• Basic understanding of DAO governance concepts

Start DAO Creation

Navigate to Realms and click Create DAO, then select Community Token DAO.
