Summon Platform ($SUMMON)

One-Stop Dao Management We navigated many challenges while creating the first DAO on Cardano. Summon Platform is built on knowledge gained on that journey, designed to make it easy for any community to create their DAO. The emergence of Web3 technologies presents an opportunity to shift organizational structures toward more cooperative models of governance. Rather than a single individual or small group of people at the top governing an organization, algorithmic protocols can gauge policy sentiment in a given community of participants, serving as an electronic agent to execute consensus decisions. In Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), thousands of people can be empowered to coordinate within a transparent set of rules. Communities starting out on Cardano today are grasping for products that enable them to achieve the kind of decentralization offered by a DAO’s structure. While some organizations may choose not to become a full DAO, they may want to offer a mechanism of community governance and coordination. A great step towards this design is made possible through the use of Native-Scripts for voting and spending; however, it doesn’t scale to allow for DAO-driven protocols, or to empower millions of users to partake in the governance of a single DAO. ADAOcommunity, a Cardano DAO focused on open-source development, was formed to meet this need and write open-source software. From the Core Contributors of ADAO, the Summon team formed to create a new platform that will implement these technologies in a way that is accessible to all Cardano users.
