Decentralized Autonomous Organizations—better known as DAOs—are changing how communities make decisions. Instead of relying on a central authority, DAOs allow people who hold the project’s token to propose ideas, vote on changes, and update the system—all through blockchain technology.
Jungle DAO is built on this model. Our token holders help guide how the ecosystem evolves. The entire process happens on-chain, meaning proposals and votes are transparent, secure, and executed automatically by smart contracts.
This guide walks through the same 15-minute demo we use during presentations, broken down into clear steps that anyone can understand.
What Powers Jungle DAO
At the foundation of Jungle DAO are three key smart contracts:
- EcoCoin (ERC-20 Token)
This is the token members hold. The number of tokens you have determines your voting power. - Governor Contract
This contract manages the entire proposal and voting process. - Timelock
Even after a proposal passes, the Timelock enforces a short delay before the change takes effect. This adds a layer of safety, giving the community time to react.
All of these contracts connect to a simple web interface where members participate in governance using their MetaMask wallet.
Getting Started: Connecting Your Wallet
To join in governance, users visit the Jungle DAO dashboard and connect their MetaMask wallet.
However, simply connecting isn’t enough to vote. You must also delegate your tokens.
Delegation activates your voting power. Most members delegate to themselves, but larger token holders sometimes delegate to representatives. After this step, your voting power becomes active and you’re ready to participate.
How Proposals Work
The governance process in Jungle DAO follows four major steps:
Propose → Vote → Queue → Execute
Here’s what each stage looks like in practice.
1. Create a Proposal
Any member with enough voting power can create a proposal.
For example, a proposal might update an address used by the DAO—such as the fee receiver for an environmental fund.
A user submits the proposal through the web interface, and once the transaction is confirmed on-chain, the proposal starts in a Pending state before automatically moving to Active.
2. Vote on the Proposal
Once the proposal becomes Active, all members with delegated voting power can vote.
Each vote is recorded directly on the blockchain, and your influence depends on the number of EcoCoin tokens you hold.
When the voting period ends, if the proposal receives enough support, it is marked as Succeeded.
3. Queue in the Timelock
Even after a successful vote, the change does not apply immediately.
The proposal is placed into the Timelock for a mandatory delay period.
This serves as a safeguard against rushed decisions and gives the community time to respond.
4. Execute the Change
After the delay ends, the proposal can be executed.
Once executed, the change becomes permanent on the blockchain—for example, updating a contract parameter or transferring funds from the DAO treasury.
This process demonstrates the DAO’s full decentralization: no single person can make changes on behalf of the community. Only successful, on-chain votes can alter the system.
Why This Matters
This governance model brings several long-term benefits:
1. Security
The Timelock owns the primary contracts, meaning not even the original developers can bypass a community vote.
2. Transparency
Every action—proposal creation, voting results, queueing, and execution—is recorded as an event on the blockchain.
This creates a verifiable public history.
3. Flexibility
Future upgrades may include:
- Treasury spending through proposals
- Proposal templates for common tasks
- Additional roles or subDAOs for specialized community groups
Jungle DAO is built to evolve as the community grows.
Looking Ahead
Jungle DAO represents a modern, decentralized approach to collective decision-making.
By empowering users to propose, vote on, and execute changes, we ensure that the future of the project is shaped by the community rather than any central authority.
Whether you’re a developer, a crypto enthusiast, or simply someone interested in decentralized governance, Jungle DAO offers a clear and transparent way to participate.
