This section provides a detailed breakdown of the core smart contracts used in the CreateDAO ecosystem. Understanding these contracts is essential for developers building on top of CreateDAO or for users who want a deeper technical insight into the platform’s mechanics.

​
Core Contracts

These contracts form the foundation of every DAO deployed using CreateDAO.
  • DAOFactory: The central contract responsible for deploying new DAOs and managing implementation versions.
  • DAO: The main governance hub for a deployed DAO, handling proposals and execution logic.
  • DAOToken: The implementation contract for the DAO’s governance token (ERC20-based).
  • DAOStaking: The implementation contract for staking governance tokens to determine voting power.
  • DAOTreasury: The implementation contract for managing the DAO’s funds.

​
Optional Modules

These contracts can be added to a DAO through governance proposals to extend its functionality.
  • DAOPresale: An implementation contract for conducting token presales.

​
Architectural Components

  • Proxy Contracts: Explanation of the UUPS proxy pattern used for upgradeability.
  • Interfaces: Overview of the Solidity interfaces used for contract interactions.
Note: The detailed pages for DAOToken, DAOStaking, DAOTreasury, and DAOPresale currently contain high-level descriptions based on their roles. Specific function details will be added after analyzing their respective source code.
