Convex Generic DAO

[mikera]

Convex provides highly dynamic capabilities for DAOs. In particular, the on-chain compiler makes it possible for proposals to be compiled at executed by the DAO itself!

Key functions:

• propose - add a proposal to the DAO, typically in the form of a vector of execution parameters and some metadata describing the proposal
• vote - express support or opposition to a proposal
• reject - delete a proposal if there is sufficient opposition
• accept - execute proposal if there is sufficient support (over any opposition)
• execute - run proposal using the vector of execution parameters.
• dispose - delete proposal after everything is complete

Design comments;

• execute can be used to make structural changes to the DAO e.g. change in voting membership
• execute can potentially feed to another DAO, e.g. a sub-committee forwarding a proposal to the full committee

A DAO with maximum flexibility could use eval or eval-as for the execute function. More constrained DAOs may have more limited capabilities.
