Introduction

DAOplomats, a seasoned Web3-native organisation, has been specialising in professional DAO governance and coordination through industry-leading research and tooling since 2022. We suggest and build efficient governance structures, act as professional delegates, and spearhead community-building initiatives.

As a trusted partner, we have been working with 1inch, Gitcoin, Everclear, and BanklessDAO on governance, tokenomics, grants, and community building. We are also professional delegates of DeFi platforms like Uniswap, Aave and Lido DAO, including Layer 2 ecosystems like Arbitrium, Optimism and ZKsync.

We are currently part of DV-like initiatives of
