The Perpetual Organization Architect (Poa) is a fully open source no code DAO builder that helps users build Perpetual Organizations. These organizations are fully community, not investor, owned through a combination of participation based voting and direct democracy. Our goal is to create a future controlled by People, not capital.

Poa is well suited for open source software collectives, non-profits, student groups, worker-owned coops or any other community focused organization. We currently power the KU Blockchain Institute's DAO (dao.kublockchain.com) during our beta testing and will soon be powering the Inclusive Design Institute's volunteer network.

Our goal is to provide the infrastructure for a new economy where workers are fairly compensated for work in both payments and voice. This differs from the traditional DAO model of buying voting tokens. We need more governance experiments in this space and Poa aims to be the tool that allows for quick governance innovation.

Poa allows you to select features like direct democracy voting, participation based voting, or hybrid voting which combines the two in one vote. For example, you could weight the participation 70% and direct democracy 30% to make sure core contributors still get the most influence but the broader community gets some check. We also have the option for quadratic voting, executive elections, DAO upgrades, and treasury management.

We won first prize for best new subgraph at ETH Denver 2024.
