Best Practices

This document outlines the best practices for different roles of users in the DeGov.AI ecosystem. Whether you're a project team looking to build a DAO or an individual seeking to learn about governance, this guide will help you navigate the platform effectively.

For Project Teams with Technical Skills

If your team has technical expertise and development capabilities, you have the flexibility to choose your deployment approach based on your specific needs and preferences.

Self-Deployment Option

When to Choose Self-Deployment:

  • Your team has blockchain development experience
  • You want full control over the deployment process
  • You need custom configurations or modifications
  • You prefer to manage your own infrastructure

Prerequisites:

  • Familiarity with smart contract deployment
  • Understanding of OpenZeppelin Governor contracts
  • Experience with blockchain development tools
  • Access to necessary development resources

Recommended Steps:

  1. Try our demo: Visit our DeGov.AI Demo to explore the platform's features and capabilities
  2. Review the documentation: Read the Integration Overview to understand the workflow of deploying a DAO
  3. Prepare configuration parameters: Follow the Parameters Guide for your DAO setup
  4. Deploy and configure: Use our Deployment Guide to deploy smart contracts and set up your DAO

Best Practices:

  • Always test governance parameters thoroughly before mainnet deployment
  • Implement proper multi-signature controls for critical operations
  • Plan for upgrade paths and governance evolution
  • Document your customizations for future maintenance

Assisted Deployment Option

Even with technical skills, you might prefer our assisted deployment service for:

  • Time Efficiency: Focus on your core business while we handle deployment
  • Expert Guidance: Benefit from our experience with DAO deployments
  • Risk Mitigation: Reduce deployment risks with our proven processes
  • Ongoing Support: Access continuous technical support post-deployment

How to Request Assistance:

  1. Contact our team through GitHub Issues or Telegram Group
  2. Provide project details including your requirements and technical setup:
    • Blockchain network (e.g., Ethereum, Darwinia)
    • Desired governance parameters (voting periods, quorum, etc.)
    • Any specific customizations needed
  3. Schedule a consultation to discuss your DAO's governance needs
  4. Collaborate on planning for customization and deployment

For Project Teams without Technical Skills

If your team lacks technical expertise but wants to build a DAO, our assisted deployment service is designed specifically for you.

Full-Service Deployment
