What Raad is

Governance for DAOs: spaces, proposals and signed votes.

What Raad does

Raad is where a DAO decides. Members publish proposals, vote on them with their wallet, and each result counts the voting power every address holds.

  • A space is a community's home: its proposals, its members, its rules.
  • A proposal asks the space a question, with its choices and a voting window.
  • A vote is a message your wallet signs. It costs no gas.
  • Voting power comes from the space's strategies: token balances, delegations and more, read at the block the proposal opened.

How it fits together

Raad runs as a few services, each with its own address:

ServiceAddressWhat it does
The appapp.raad.voteWhere you read, vote, delegate and run your space.
The hubhub.raad.vote/graphqlStores spaces, proposals and votes, and serves them to anyone.
The sequencerseq.raad.voteReceives signed messages: votes, proposals, follows, settings.
Scoresscore.raad.voteCounts each voter's power with the space's strategies.

Everything the app shows comes from the hub, and everything you sign goes to the sequencer. You can use both directly: see the GraphQL API and the sequencer. Whether each one answers right now: Status.
