Launch a DAO on Quai. In one transaction.
Open-source, audited governance with a Quai Vault multisig treasury — and the right to walk away. Inspired by MolochDAO v3, rewritten from scratch for modern DAOs.

Live from the DAO Ships indexer · Quai Orchard Testnet (Cyprus-1)
A whole organization, governed by code.
Crew & tokens
Members hold Shares (voting power) and Loot (economic weight, no vote). Delegation lets crew lend their voice without giving up their stake.
Proposals & votes
Submit → sponsor → vote → grace → ready → process. Quorum and retention checks gate execution. Proposals run in parallel — no queue, no bottleneck.
Treasury & exit
Passed proposals execute through the Quai Vault multisig. Members can ragequit during the grace window for their fair share. Owners keep an emergency brake.
Built for how DAOs actually operate.
One-transaction launch
Deploy a governance ship, voting + economic tokens, and a Quai Vault multisig treasury — atomically, in a single transaction.
~93% cheaper to launch than upstream (EIP-1167 clones).
Treasury is a Quai Vault multisig
Your funds live in an M-of-N multisig wallet with timelocks and DelegateCall hardening — not a bare contract. Governance proposes; the vault holds and executes.
Multi-owner, timelocked, audited.
Enhanced security, audited
Rewritten from scratch with documented hardening over MolochDAO v3 — scoped execution, flash-loan-resistant sponsorship, auto-expiring proposals.
Zero unresolved findings at any severity.
Exit anytime — ragequit
Disagree with a decision? Burn your shares and loot during the grace window and leave with your proportional slice of the treasury. Minority protection, built in.
Proportional, on-chain, permissionless.
Your treasury is a Quai Vault multisig.
Most DAO frameworks park funds in a bare governance contract. DAO Ships settles them in a hardened multisig wallet — timelocked, owner-guarded, and protected from delegate-call attacks.
Governance proposes. The multisig holds. Owners keep the brake.
What are you building?
Five battle-tested templates pre-tune governance for your scale and trust model — from a 3-person founding team to a fleet of autonomous agents.
Startup Team
3–10 membersUnder $100KA founding team, dev shop, or hackathon crew that knows each other and needs to move quickly without governance overhead.
Audited to zero unresolved findings.
Five review passes, every severity resolved. We document the exact hardening we added over upstream — and the trade-offs we chose.
Scoped execution
executeAsGovernance can only call the DAO itself — never an arbitrary external address. This closes upstream's single largest privilege-escalation surface.
Flash-loan-resistant sponsorship
Sponsorship power is snapshotted one second in the past, blocking borrow-delegate-sponsor attacks within a single block.
Auto-expiring proposals
Ready proposals expire after a grace + expiry window, so no passed-but-unexecuted proposal can lurk forever as a zombie.
DelegateCall whitelist
The Quai Vault only permits DelegateCall to MultiSendCallOnly, which rejects nested delegate calls — defense against Bybit-class storage-corruption attacks.
Ragequit veto & retention
If too much of the treasury exits during voting, a proposal is blocked. Minorities can't be diluted or rugged through governance.
Immutable by design
Tokens and governance are non-upgradeable EIP-1167 clones. No proxy admin, no upgrade key, no surprise rewrites.
A protocol you can build on.
Launch DAOs from TypeScript, query the event-indexed Supabase data layer, or write your own Navigator — immutable, permissioned extensions for custom onboarding and treasury logic.
