Context (Important)
Around September 2024, we started to develop a Multisig tool at Mesh, from early development we saw the potential to build a more complex multisig platform, tailor-made to the needs and wants of the cardano ecosystem engaged in its onchain governance. If we want to ensure high-quality governance, we have to ensure that we have the right tools to make it easy for anyone to engage. That said, we also saw that our ideas on what the multisig platform could become had a barrier. We simply don't have all the needed dev time and capacity at Mesh which we would like to have to further push on all the ideas of the multisig.
So, we did what we do… collaborating with builders. We decided to ask other Cardano Builder projects if they would be interested in joining forces and to team up to help the development of the multisig, we reached out to ClarityDAO and Fluidtokens and got a great response from both. So, here we are, 3 Projects teaming up, for each of the 3 the full project would be too much, but effectively sharing workload amongst each other reallly makes the deal, sharing direct access to each other's dev power while at the same time minimizing workload for each and wrapping everything into a proposal to ensure budget allocations seems a quite effective way to further develop the multisig platform.
How we want to build it.
We take a simple and straightforward approach:
- Each project focuses on different project features
- All features are grouped into Milestones
- Each Milestone and its budget is assigned to a project responsible for delivering the milestone outcomes
This should allow us to have an easy deal in coordinating workloads and budgets, and to build a tool with rich features collaboratively, contributing to the Cardano open source environment, and supporting the community at onchain governance.
The Tool
The multisig tool at the current stage already allows to:
- Connect Wallet
- Create a onchain multisig wallet
- Assign multiple signers
- Define decision quorum
- Send/Receive transactions
- Register DRep certificate
This is a solid start, yet, we really want to build the best out of it, so the additional features we want to develop in collaboration with Mesh, ClarityDAO & Fluidtokens are:
- vote governance actions
- submit governance actions
- view governance actions
- delegate to DRep page
- UI UX for teams and DAO operations
- ADA handle lookup
- discord integration, to ping people to sign
- support tokens native assets
- loan request or instant liquidity with Fluidtokens Tokens
- perform swap on Minswap
- new account type, based on Plutus script, to involve the community to participate in transactions and votes
All together, building a sophisticated and easy-to-use multisig platform for the everyday user to get engaged in Cardano governance as groups and collectives.
