This guide shows you how to update your DAO’s logo, banner, and social links on Realms to build recognition and trust.

DAO Metadata Overview

Managing the DAO's visual identity and social links is crucial for building recognition and trust within the community. This guide will walk you through the process of updating your DAO's logo/banner and social links through on-chain metadata using the Realms platform.

Whether you're setting up your DAO's identity for the first time or refreshing your existing branding, these steps will help you make these changes effectively and securely.

The following steps will guide you through the entire process, from accessing the metadata interface to executing the final proposal.

Step 2 - Fill the metadata

Realms allows DAOs to configure a variety of metadata fields to improve discoverability and presentation:

• Display Name: the primary name shown for the DAO

• Description: a short summary of the DAO’s purpose or mission

• Logo: main visual identity graphic

• Banner: header visual for DAO profile pages

• Category: classification to help users find similar DAOs (DeFi, Social, Web3, NFT, Gaming, Legal, Other)

• Social Links: external links for community and communication (Website, Twitter/X, Discord)

Step 3 - Review the metadata

• Once you have entered the desired fields, verify all the details on the Review page.

• Make sure that the images are loading on this page.

• Choose whether you want to create the through a Community or a Multi-sig proposal.

Step 4 - Sign the Transactions

• The wallet pop-up will ask you to sign 4-8 transactions depending upon the metadata configured.

Step 5 - Pass the proposal

• Once the transactions are confirmed, you can visit the DAO and pass the metadata proposal.

• After the proposal is executed, the metadata will reflect on Realms after few brief moments.
