Paideia - DAO Management Software Suite
Full-stack DAO management platform built on Ergo and Cardano blockchains. Developed the entire stack from smart contracts to frontend including custom blockchain indexing infrastructure on self-hosted nodes in Europe and Canada, a custom API layer on top of the indexed chain data, and smart contract-enforced governance (proposals that actually execute treasury spends). The Ergo implementation has been live for multiple years with zero exploits. The Cardano expansion produced an entirely new frontend and smart contract suite built in Aiken.

Outcome
Over $400K in funding through a seed round and Cardano Catalyst. Live for years with zero exploits.
Smart contract-enforced governance handling real treasury funds across Ergo and Cardano blockchains. Cardano expansion funded by 190,000 ADA Catalyst grant.
Key Features
- Smart contract-enforced governance. Proposals execute treasury spends on-chain, not advisory votes that can be vetoed
- Full blockchain indexing infrastructure on self-hosted physical servers in Europe and Canada, with custom API layer built on top of the node data
- DAO creation, governance token distribution, staking with configurable emissions, and profit sharing
- Proposal system with configurable quorum thresholds, majority thresholds, and whitelisted proposal types
- Treasury management with on-chain fund allocation driven by community votes
- Live for multiple years with zero exploits
- Cardano expansion with entirely new smart contracts (Aiken) and frontend, funded by 190,000 ADA Catalyst grant
