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

The DAOToken.sol contract provides the implementation logic for the DAO’s governance token, typically used behind a DAOTokenProxy. It is expected to be an ERC20-compliant token with potential extensions for governance purposes.

​
Key Concepts

  • Governance Token: Represents voting power and potentially other utility within the DAO ecosystem.
  • ERC20 Standard: Adheres to the standard interface for fungible tokens on EVM chains.
  • Integration: Works closely with the DAOStaking contract (for voting power calculation) and DAOTreasury (where non-circulating supply might be held).
  • Ownership: Typically owned by the DAO contract after deployment, allowing the DAO to manage aspects like minting or burning (if implemented) via governance proposals.

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

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

  • Standard ERC20 Functions: name(), symbol(), decimals(), totalSupply(), balanceOf(address account), transfer(address recipient, uint256 amount), allowance(address owner, address spender), approve(address spender, uint256 amount), transferFrom(address sender, address recipient, uint256 amount).
  • Initialization: An initialize function called by the proxy during deployment via the DAOFactory, setting name, symbol, initial supply, and potentially initial owner/distribution.
  • Ownership Transfer: Likely includes transferOwnership(address newOwner) from OpenZeppelin’s OwnableUpgradeable.
  • Staking Contract Link: May include a function like setStakingContract(address stakingContract) called by the DAOFactory or DAO to link the token to its corresponding staking mechanism.
  • Whitelist/Tax Handling: May include functions like updateWhitelist(address[] accounts, bool isWhitelisted) to manage addresses exempt from potential transfer taxes (if implemented).
  • (Optional) Minting/Burning: May include functions like mint(address account, uint256 amount) or burn(uint256 amount), likely restricted to the owner (the DAO contract).

​
Events

(This section is a placeholder)

  • Standard ERC20 events: Transfer(address indexed from, address indexed to, uint256 value), Approval(address indexed owner, address indexed spender, uint256 value).
  • Ownership events: OwnershipTransferred(address indexed previousOwner, address indexed newOwner).
  • Other custom events related to specific features (e.g., StakingContractSet, WhitelistUpdated).

​
Upgradeability

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