Welcome to DAEMON DAO

The first self-executing DAO on Solana. Autonomous governance powered by on-chain agents.

What is DAEMON?

DAEMON is a decentralized autonomous organization built on Solana that introduces a radical new primitive: autonomous execution agents ("daemons") that carry out governance decisions without human intervention.

Unlike traditional DAOs that rely on multisig wallets and manual execution, DAEMON deploys on-chain agents that automatically execute approved proposals — from treasury rebalancing to yield optimization to coordinated token operations.

Key Innovation
DAEMON eliminates the gap between governance decision and execution. When a proposal reaches quorum, daemon agents execute it automatically within seconds.

Core Architecture

⚡ Daemon Agents
Autonomous programs that execute treasury operations, swaps, LP management, and custom actions.
◈ Synaptic Voting
Real-time streaming vote system. Quorum in seconds, not days. Weighted by $DAEMON holdings.
◎ Treasury Autopilot

DOCS/Getting Started/Quick Start

Quick Start Guide

Get started with DAEMON DAO in 3 simple steps.

Step 1 — Acquire $DAEMON

Purchase $DAEMON tokens on pump.fun during the fair launch, or on supported DEXs (Jupiter, Raydium) after launch. There is 0% buy/sell tax and no minimum purchase.

// Token Details
Network:    Solana (SPL Token)
Ticker:     $DAEMON
Supply:     1,000,000,000
Tax:        0% buy / 0% sell
Launch:     pump.fun

Step 2 — Connect Wallet

Navigate to the DAEMON Dashboard and connect your Solana wallet. We support Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, and Ledger.

Tip
Make sure you have some SOL in your wallet for transaction fees. 0.01 SOL is more than enough for voting and interactions.

Step 3 — Participate

Once connected, you can:

  • Vote on active proposals in the Governance tab
  • Submit proposals for new daemon deployments or treasury actions
  • Deploy daemons using pre-built templates or custom configurations
  • Monitor signals from the on-chain intelligence network

DOCS/Getting Started/Core Concepts

Core Concepts

Understanding the fundamental building blocks of the DAEMON protocol.

The Daemon Loop

DAEMON operates in a continuous feedback cycle of four phases:

  • Signal Detection — The Signal Network monitors on-chain data for opportunities, threats, and anomalies across Solana.
  • Proposal Creation — Any $DAEMON holder with minimum 10,000 tokens can submit a proposal to act on a signal.
  • Synaptic Voting — Token holders vote in real-time. No waiting periods — quorum is reached dynamically based on participation.
  • Daemon Execution — Once quorum is met, the relevant daemon agent executes the approved action automatically on-chain.
Important
Execution results feed back into the Signal Network, creating a self-improving intelligence loop over time.

Voting Power

Your voting power is proportional to your $DAEMON holdings. 1 $DAEMON = 1 vote. Voting power is calculated at the time of each vote, not snapshotted — so acquiring more tokens immediately increases your governance influence.

Trust Model

DAEMON operates under a "zero trust" architecture. There are no admin keys, no multisig wallets, and no privileged roles. Every action the protocol takes must be approved through governance consensus. The smart contracts enforce this — even the development team cannot bypass governance.

DOCS/Protocol/Daemon Agents

Daemon Agents

Autonomous on-chain programs that execute governance decisions.

What is a Daemon?

A daemon is an autonomous on-chain agent deployed by the DAO to perform specific tasks. Each daemon has a type, target protocol, risk parameters, and execution rules — all set through governance votes. Daemons operate 24/7 without human intervention.

Daemon Types

TypeDescriptionActions
TREASURY_MANAGERManages DAO treasury allocation and rebalancingSwap, LP, Stake
YIELD_OPTIMIZEROptimizes yield across DeFi protocolsFarm, Compound, Migrate
RAID_COORDINATORCoordinates community token operationsBuy, Sell, Track
SIGNAL_ANALYZERMonitors on-chain data for opportunitiesDetect, Alert, Score
LP_MANAGERManages liquidity positionsAdd, Remove, Rebalance

Deploying a Daemon

# Deploy via CLI
daemon deploy \
  --type YIELD_OPTIMIZER \
  --protocol raydium \
  --pair SOL/USDC \
  --risk medium \
  --allocation 30

→ Daemon deployment proposal submitted
→ Proposal #048 created — awaiting votes

All daemon deployments require governance approval. Once a deployment proposal reaches quorum, the daemon is automatically initialized and begins executing.

DOCS/Protocol/Governance

Governance

How the DAEMON collective makes and executes decisions.

Synaptic Voting

DAEMON uses a real-time voting system called Synaptic Voting. Unlike traditional DAOs with 3-7 day voting periods, proposals in DAEMON execute the moment they reach quorum. Votes stream in continuously and are tallied on-chain in real-time.

Governance Parameters

{
  "quorum_threshold": 0.51,        // 51% of active voting power
  "proposal_min_tokens": 10000,    // Min $DAEMON to submit proposal
  "execution_delay": 0,            // Instant execution on quorum
  "max_treasury_per_tx": 0.05,     // 5% treasury max per action
  "vote_weight": "linear",         // 1 token = 1 vote
  "proposal_types": [
    "daemon_deploy", "treasury_action",
    "parameter_change", "raid_coordination"
  ]
}

Proposal Lifecycle

  • PENDING — Proposal submitted, awaiting initial votes
  • ACTIVE — Voting in progress, approaching quorum
  • EXECUTED — Quorum reached, daemon auto-executed the action
  • REJECTED — Failed to reach quorum within 72 hours
DOCS/Protocol/Treasury

Treasury

How the DAO treasury is managed and protected.

Treasury Structure

The DAEMON treasury holds 10% of total token supply plus all earned yields from daemon operations. Treasury funds can only be moved through governance-approved daemon executions — there are no admin keys or manual withdrawal mechanisms.

Supported Protocols

ProtocolTypeActions
RaydiumAMM / LPSwap, Add/Remove LP, Farm
OrcaCLMMConcentrated LP, Swap
JupiterAggregatorSwap (best route)
MarinadeLiquid StakingStake SOL → mSOL
DriftPerpsHedge positions

Safety Limits

Security
No single daemon execution can move more than 5% of total treasury value. This hard limit is enforced at the smart contract level and cannot be overridden, even by governance.
DOCS/Protocol/Signal Network

Signal Network

The on-chain intelligence layer that feeds daemon decision-making.

Signal Types

SignalSourceDescription
🐋 Whale AlertOn-chainLarge wallet movements above threshold
📊 Volume SpikeDEX dataAbnormal trading volume on tracked tokens
🔄 LP MovementOn-chainMajor liquidity additions or removals
📈 Sentiment ShiftSocial + On-chainCross-platform sentiment analysis
⚠️ Rug DetectionContract analysisSuspicious contract behavior flagged

Signal Strength

Each signal is assigned a strength score from 1-5 based on confidence level, data quality, and correlation with historical patterns. SIGNAL_ANALYZER daemons can be configured to only act on signals above a certain strength threshold.

DOCS/Token/Tokenomics

Tokenomics

$DAEMON token distribution and economics.

Distribution

AllocationPercentageDetails
Liquidity Pool85%LP burned — permanent liquidity
DAO Treasury10%Governance-controlled, no team access
Dev / Operations5%Development, audits, infrastructure

Token Properties

  • Total Supply: 1,000,000,000 $DAEMON (fixed, no inflation)
  • Tax: 0% buy / 0% sell — no hidden fees
  • Mint Authority: Revoked — no new tokens can ever be minted
  • Freeze Authority: Revoked — tokens cannot be frozen
  • LP: Burned — liquidity is permanent and irremovable

Utility

$DAEMON serves as the governance and utility token of the protocol. Holding $DAEMON grants voting power (1 token = 1 vote), the ability to submit proposals (min 10,000 tokens), and access to deploy personal daemon agents.

DOCS/Token/Staking & Rewards

Staking & Rewards

Earn rewards by staking $DAEMON and participating in governance.

Governance Rewards

Active voters earn a share of daemon execution fees. Every time a daemon performs an on-chain action, a small fee (0.1%) is distributed to stakers proportional to their $DAEMON holdings and voting activity.

Note
Staking and governance rewards are planned for Phase 02 (Awakening). Currently, $DAEMON is used purely for governance voting.

Planned Reward Structure

  • Base staking yield: Variable APY based on total staked supply
  • Active voter bonus: 2x rewards for wallets that vote on 80%+ of proposals
  • Daemon deployer bonus: Additional yield for wallets with active daemons

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about DAEMON DAO.

What makes DAEMON different from other DAOs?

DAEMON introduces autonomous execution agents ("daemons") that eliminate the gap between governance decisions and on-chain actions. Traditional DAOs vote on proposals then rely on multisig holders to manually execute — DAEMON automates this entirely.

Is there a presale or VC allocation?

No. DAEMON is a 100% fair launch on pump.fun. There is no presale, no VC allocation, no team tokens beyond the 5% dev allocation. Everyone buys at the same price.

How do I earn from DAEMON?

Hold $DAEMON to participate in governance. In Phase 02, staking rewards will distribute a share of daemon execution fees to active voters and stakers.

Can the team rug?

No. Liquidity is burned, mint authority is revoked, and there are zero admin keys in the smart contracts. The treasury can only be accessed through governance votes — the team has no special privileges.

What blockchain is DAEMON on?

Solana. We chose Solana for sub-second finality, low fees, and the ability to execute complex daemon operations affordably. Cross-chain expansion is planned for Phase 04.

How do I deploy a daemon?

Go to the Dashboard, navigate to Deploy → New Daemon or use a pre-built template. All deployments require a governance vote to approve.
