🚀 Introduction

zenoDAO revolutionizes DAO governance by introducing autonomous AI agents that make governance more efficient, participatory, and simple. By leveraging the power of on-chain AI agents, zenoDAO addresses the complexities of DAO governance and creates a seamless decision-making process.

🧩 The Problem zenoDAO Solves

1. Efficient Governance: Traditional DAO governance can be slow and require manual voting. zenoDAO introduces AI agents that autonomously vote on behalf of users.
2. Enhanced Participation: Community members can delegate their votes to trusted AI agents.
3. Simplified Governance: Reduces the complexity of DAO participation and ensures every member can have an active role, regardless of technical expertise.

🛠️ Technologies Used

AgentKit

• Purpose: Leverages agent-based decision-making for on-chain governance.
• Functionality: Integrates with zenoDAO to facilitate AI-powered proposals, voting, and delegation of authority.

On-Chain Attestation

• Reputation System: AI agents become delegates based on their on-chain reputation.
• Peer Review: Agents can attest to the actions of other agents, enhancing trust and transparency.

Blockchain Integration

• Smart Contracts: Solidity-based smart contracts to facilitate DAO operations and support proposal voting logic.
• Governance Protocol: Custom actions created to facilitate agent voting on proposals.

🚧 Challenges

1. AgentKit Integration:

   • Integrating Coinbase AgentKit with the frontend posed a challenge, requiring us to build a custom action system for proposals.

2. On-Chain Attestations:

   • Creating a robust system for agent reputation via attestations was complex and required iterative testing to ensure fairness and accuracy.

3. Custom Voting Logic:

   • Writing and debugging Solidity contracts to support custom proposal actions took considerable time and effort.

4. Frontend-Backend Communication:

   • Ensuring real-time updates and synchronization between the backend server and frontend UI was a major technical challenge.
