Meet @daobox.lens, a team with the mission to make DAOs accessible to everyone 🌍

They've built two exciting plugins on Aragon OSx:

🌿 Vote using @lensprotocol Follow NFTs

🏛️ Optimistic governance using Kleros

Let’s dive into the details👇

What’s a plugin?

Plugins extend the functionality of your DAO. They can be related to governance, finance, membership, or anything else onchain. ⛓️

Think of plugins as apps you install and uninstall on your computer. 🖥️

Plugins make it easy to adapt your organization.🌱

You can install new plugins and try them out. If they don’t work for your needs, you can uninstall them later!

Let’s dive into each plugin the @daobox.lens team built👇

🌿 @LensProtocol communities, meet Aragon OSx

The Lens plugin makes it possible to govern your DAO on Aragon OSx using Lens Follow NFTs 🤗

When you follow a Lens account, you’re given a Follow NFT, which can be encoded with additional value. Imagine if all accounts following a specific Lens profile could immediately get voting power in a new DAO related to their shared interest…..

That’s what the DAObox team has built! 🚀

The Lens plugin was created by inheriting the MajorityVotingBase contract and implementing the IMajorityVoting from the AragonOSx contracts 🦅

So, what can you do with it? Here are some features:

🪙 getVotingToken: Retrieve the DAO's voting token, which is implemented as an interface for Lens Follow NFTs.

💪 totalVotingPower: Verify your voting power within the DAO.

📝 createProposal: Initiate new majority voting proposals within the DAO.

🙋isMember: Checks if an address has voting power at the block number when it’s called.

🗳️ _vote: Enables voting on proposals.

✅ _canVote: Indicates whether an address can vote.

But there’s more…… Let’s talk about optimistic governance 🏛️ 👇

The Kleros plugin integrates with the subjective oracle so DAOs built on Aragon OSx can use optimistic governance.

Optimistic governance is governance without voting 🤯 Here’s how it works:

The proposer deposits collateral when they submit their proposal.

Then, a waiting period begins. ⏳

Anyone internal or external to the DAO can challenge the proposal during the waiting period.

If there is no challenge to the proposal during the waiting period, the proposal automatically passes and executes. ✅

If someone does challenge it, the arbitration process begins. 👩‍⚖️

Kleros jurors assess the evidence provided by both parties to determine the legitimacy of the proposal. 🔎

If the jurors determine the challenge is warranted, the proposer’s collateral is given to the challenger.

If the jurors discard the challenge, the proposal is passed.

The Kleros plugin means DAOs built on Aragon OSx can leverage the optimistic governance and decentralized arbitration system built by Kleros in their own governance process! ⚡️

Plugins and how they interact with Aragon OSx DAOs 👇

To add features beyond the base functionality, you can customize your Aragon OSx DAO by installing a wide variety of plugins.

🔌 What are some plugin examples? 🔌

💡Governance: token voting, one-person one-vote
💡Asset management: ERC-20 or NFT minting, token streaming, DeFi
💡Membership: governing budget allowances, gating access, curating a member list

🌐 How does the DAO manage plugins? 🌐

A DAO manages plugins and interactions between them, the DAO contract, and other parties with its permission manager.

In more detail, its permission manager....

⭐️ controls the plugin setup process (installation, update, uninstallation)
⭐️ authorizes calls to plugin functions carrying the auth modifier
⭐️ authorizes calls to DAO functions, for example, the execute function allowing for acting as the DAO

....by checking if the caller hasPermission.

✨ What does this look like when put together? ✨
