Source: contracts/DAOStaking.sol (Note: Update link if necessary)

The DAOStaking.sol contract provides the implementation logic for staking the DAO’s governance token (DAOToken) to determine voting power in governance proposals. It is used behind a DAOStakingProxy.

​
Key Concepts

  • Voting Power: Users stake their DAOToken in this contract to gain voting power, which is then used by the DAO contract when processing votes (DAOProposals.vote) and checking proposal thresholds.
  • Token Lockup: Staking typically involves locking up tokens in the contract for a certain period or until unstaked.
  • (Optional) Rewards: Some staking contracts distribute rewards (often more DAOToken) to stakers over time.
  • Integration: Directly interacts with the DAOToken contract (to transfer tokens during stake/unstake) and is read by the DAO contract (getVotingPower).

​
Expected Functionality (Based on common patterns and Factory/DAO interactions)

(This section is a placeholder and will be updated after analyzing DAOStaking.sol)

  • stake(uint256 amount): Allows a user to deposit DAOToken into the contract. Requires the user to have approved the Staking contract to spend their tokens first.
  • unstake(uint256 amount): Allows a user to withdraw their staked DAOToken. May involve conditions or delays.
  • getVotingPower(address account): A view function called by the DAO contract to determine the voting power of a specific account based on their staked amount (and potentially other factors like lock duration).
  • totalStaked(): A view function returning the total amount of DAOToken currently staked in the contract. Used by the DAO contract to calculate quorum.
  • claimRewards(): If rewards are implemented, this function allows users to claim their accrued staking rewards.
  • initialize(address tokenAddress): An initializer function called by the proxy during deployment via the DAOFactory, linking the staking contract to the correct DAOToken address.
  • setExecutingProposal(bool): A function likely called by the DAOExecutor during upgrades to temporarily bypass certain checks.
  • Ownership Transfer: Likely includes transferOwnership(address newOwner) from OpenZeppelin’s OwnableUpgradeable, with ownership transferred to the DAO contract.

​
Events

(This section is a placeholder)

  • Staked(address indexed user, uint256 amount): Emitted when a user stakes tokens.
  • Unstaked(address indexed user, uint256 amount): Emitted when a user unstakes tokens.
  • RewardClaimed(address indexed user, uint256 amount): Emitted when a user claims staking rewards (if applicable).
  • OwnershipTransferred(address indexed previousOwner, address indexed newOwner).

​
Upgradeability

Uses the UUPS proxy pattern. Upgrades are managed via the DAO contract’s proposeUpgrade governance process.
