DAOnload: From zero to DAO in one click
Super Dao is an all-in-one DAO platform that makes it easy to start and run decentralized autonomous organizations. After working on a Y-Combinator-backed Discord alternative called Openland, CEO Yury Lifshits founded the platform in 2021, completing a $1 million preseed round shortly after.
Superdao locked in a $10.5 million seed round in January 2022. Life shit is on a personal mission to help launch one million DAOs, and he’s supporting it by offering a free two-week bootcamp to help curious minds learn web3 by building in it. With Superdao, you can create a DAO with one click, generate smart contracts for NFTs and tokens, create a built-in member directory, view a finance dashboard, keep your community informed with a news feed, and manage contributor compensation.
Instead of starting with complex tokenomics, Superdao offers layered membership NFT templates (core team, contributor and member) that can be issued as a first step. Once the community is established and productive, teams can explore tokens and additional functionality. Super Dao uses Polygon for smart contracts, incorporates Gnosis Safe for multisig wallets, and offers Snapshot as a voting option.
Lifshits shared some background and details about Superdao with the DAOnload team.
How did the vision for Superdao come together?
My previous company built a community messenger in web2. It didn’t work and I was looking for the next idea to work on. I studied the NFT boom in the summer of 2021 and realized that the most successful NFT collections evolved into DAOs. The infrastructure for DAOs is a huge opportunity and is directly related to my past experiences and skills.
How many DAOs are currently on Superdao?
Over 1500. We are already a top tier DAO creation platform by this metric.
What did you want to improve with DAO tools?
I wanted to give users the ability to launch a DAO with one click, and support them with a rich template library. Transparent and reasonable prices were important, and I wanted to help facilitate cooperation across the DAO.
How will Superdao enable cooperation between DAOs?
Through the ability to create collections with multiple organizations with shared membership benefits, DAO-to-DAO payments, a means to find other DAOs to work with, and templates that reuse the best ideas from DAO to DAO.
What are your thoughts on Soulbound Tokens (SBTs) and their applicability to DAOs?
Very bullish. Since DAOs create status in different ways (custom roles, points, levels and performance NFTs), members will build their reputation on the chain through their interactions with different DAOs.
On track to help launch one million DAOs, Lifshits envisions organizations starting to interact daily through NFT rewards, community management, and contributor program layers. “It is a step-by-step processsays Lifshits.
“You can’t get everything on day one. Start with a single NFT airdrop, then run a consistent NFT reward program, then add community governance and finance, then a contributor program, and issue a token. Issuing a token before a community or utility is unlikely to work.”
