Configurations
After a DAO is created, users that detain governance tokens or council tokens can change the DAO configuration.
DAO configuration
For safe measures against DAO attacks make sure you DAO configuration has a high minimum of governance tokens for it to be altered.
Initial Config Visualisation
Jito will be used below for example purposes. After a DAO is deployed the configuration of a DAO can be found in Settings.
Upon opening Settings you will find the DAO main addresses, configuration & governances (treasuries).
Addresses
In the addresses section users are able to see:
Realm/ Pubkey: Address of the DAO
Realm Authority 'x DAO Treasury': Realm authority, usually set to one of the DAO wallets, the authority controls DAO configuration.
Owner 'Governance Program': spl-governance instance used by the DAO.
Community Mint: Address of the chosen governance token.
Council Mint: Address of the council token.
Governance (Treasuries)
In the governances section users are able to see the DAO treasury/ treasuries and their parameters, accounts & statistics.
For every treasury created an authority is also given for each.
Advanced Parameters/ Config
In the advanced parameters/ config section users are able to see:
Community max vote weight source: Percentage of the token supply considered for quorum or absolute number of the token supply or set number by the DAO.
Min community tokens to create governance: Amount of tokens needed to change the DAO Config
Use community voter weight add-in: Indicates whether voter weight governance plugin is used by the DAO.
Use max community voter weight add-in: Indicates whether max voter weight governance plugin is used by the DAO.
Config Modification
Only users with sufficient governance tokens can propose configuration changes to maintain DAO security.
Prerequisites for Config Changes
Before modifying DAO configuration, ensure you have:
Sufficient governance tokens to meet the minimum proposal threshold
Understanding of the proposed changes and their impact
Community consensus or discussion around the modification
Select Configuration Type
Click on "Change Config" to start proposing configuration changes.
Choose the type of configuration you want to modify:
How would you like to configure your community token: Liquid, Disabled, Membership
Liquid - Maybe be bought, sold, or transferred.
Disabled - This removes voting & managing power for token owners.
Membership - Cannot be traded or transferred, but can be revoked by the DAO.
Do you want the community to be able to manage this DAO: Anyone with the alloted amount of governance power can edit non security-related information without a proposal.
What is the minimum amount of governance power needed to manage this DAO?: A user will need at least this much governance power to manage and edit information for this DAO.
What type of governance structure do you want your DAO's community to use: Default, VSR, NFT, Civic, QV, Custom
Default - Governance is based on token ownership
VSR - Locked tokens (veTokens)
NFT - Voting enabled and weighted based on NFTs owned
Civic - Governance based on Civic verification
QV - Quadratic voting
Custom - Add a custom program ID for governance structure
QV & Civic plugins are disabled at the moment, if you wish to pursue them please reach out!
How would you like to configure your council token: Liquid, Disabled, Membership
Liquid - Maybe be bought, sold, or transferred.
Disabled - This removes voting & managing power for token owners.
Membership - Cannot be traded or transferred, but can be revoked by the DAO.
What Type of community maximum voter weight do you want to use?: This determines the maximum voter weight used to calculate voting thresholds. Updating this option requires you to know the maximum supply of your governance token.
Supply Fraction
Absolute
Security Note: Always set conservative thresholds to prevent governance attacks. Higher minimum token requirements provide better security against malicious proposals.
