Discovering and Using DAOs

This guide covers how to find DAOs, explore their libraries, and participate in governance.

Discover DAOs

List Available DAOs

sage dao discover

This shows deployed DAOs with: - DAO address - Name and description - Governor and registry addresses

Search by Name

sage dao search "prompt"

View DAO Details

sage dao info 0xDAOAddress

Shows: - Governance mode (Personal, Council, Community) - Current library CID - Governor and Timelock addresses - Membership configuration

Explore Libraries

View a DAO's Library

sage project view-current --dao 0xDAOAddress

This fetches the current approved manifest and lists all prompts.

Search for Prompts

sage project search "sql" --dao 0xDAOAddress

Or search across all pinned libraries:

sage prompts search "code review"

Pin a Library Locally

For faster access, pin a library:

sage project pin QmManifestCID

Participate in Governance

To vote on proposals and contribute to a DAO, you need voting power.

1. Hold SXXX

Token‑governed DAOs use delegation (ERC20Votes). There is no stake‑to‑vote flow.

2. Enable Voting Power (Delegate)

sage sxxx delegate-self

3. Check Readiness

sage governance preflight --subdao 0xDAOAddress

Now you can: - Vote on proposals - Create proposals (if you meet the threshold) - Claim bounties and contribute

For full details, see Delegation and Governance.
