SpiritDAO Community App

Decentralized Application

A token-gated, multi-community coordination platform built and stewarded by SpiritDAO, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Any group can create a self-governing Pod with its own treasury, roles, governance, forum, chat, video, events, bounties, marketplace, and a per-pod AI agent, running on the Base L2 blockchain with open enrollment.

Ano de Início 2023
Stack Next.js 15 (App Router), React 18, TypeScript, Progressive Web App; Base L2 for on-chain state (viem/wagmi/OnchainKit, Hats Protocol roles); Coinbase CDP embedded wallets (ERC-4337) with Coinbase Paymaster for gasless writes; Supabase (Postgres, Row-Level Security, Realtime) for application data/auth; Stripe for fiat donations; LiveKit (self-hosted) plus WebRTC for video; Anthropic Claude + OpenAI embeddings + Pinecone for AI/RAG (Kairos, Sensemaker); hosted on Vercel (app) and Cloudflare Pages (site/docs)
Financiamento Donations (tax-deductible, via Stripe); the nonprofit states it is sustained by donations, not subscriptions, venture capital, or advertising

Decentralized Application Atributos

Origins Built by SpiritDAO (501(c)(3) nonprofit) to give communities infrastructure they own rather than rent — an explicit reaction to platforms that change terms or shut down, leaving communities with nothing
Database Supabase (Postgres, Row-Level Security, Realtime) for application content/auth; Base L2 on-chain state for token balances, votes, and Hats roles — two sources of truth, reconciled: chain authoritative for balances/votes/roles, database for content/metadata
Query Language Not specified beyond standard Supabase/Postgres query patterns and on-chain reads via viem/wagmi; a public unauthenticated API route exists (GET /api/hat-registry)
Data Formats ERC-20 ($SYSTEM), ERC-721 (Proof of Curiosity, Advocate ERC721Votes), ERC-1155 (Hats Protocol roles, $SELF) — standard token interfaces; Postgres relational data for application content
Collaborative Live Editing Not specified in the spec — the platform's collaboration surface is forums/chat/video/events, not live document co-editing
Rich Text Editing Not specified in the spec
Mobile Support Progressive Web App — installable/mobile-usable via PWA rather than native app-store apps
Web Support Yes — Next.js 15 web application, the primary interface
Native Apps No native app-store apps mentioned; PWA only
Terms Free forever for individual membership, one tier, no premium tier; communities join via Pods (own treasury/governance); platform funded by tax-deductible donations, not subscriptions
Funds Not specified — no raise/grant figures found in the reviewed sources
Based On Base (Ethereum L2); Hats Protocol (ERC-1155) for roles; ERC-4337 account abstraction for smart wallets; standard ERC-20/721/1155 token interfaces
Use Case Category Community coordination and governance infrastructure — treasury, roles, proposals/voting, forum/chat/video, events, bounties, marketplace, per-pod AI agent, all in one integrated platform rather than a stitched-together stack
User Interface Type Web application (Progressive Web App), token-gated access
Offline Capabilities Not specified in the spec
Collaboration Features Pods (self-governing sub-communities), forums, real-time chat, direct messages, video conferencing (LiveKit, self-hosted, plus WebRTC for 1:1), events with a shared calendar, a knowledge base, surveys, a shared password vault
Data Portability Limited — on-chain state (token balances, votes, Hats roles, contract addresses) is publicly readable and independently verifiable on Base; application-layer data (forum posts, chat, profiles) has no self-serve export today
Integration Ecosystem Hats Protocol trees (standard ERC-1155, readable by any Hats tooling; top-hat tree id 0x00000749); ERC-4337 smart wallets follow the account-abstraction standard; external wallet linking supported; published, Basescan-verifiable contract addresses on Base
Web2 Data Export No self-serve export of application-layer content (forum/chat/profiles); on-chain state is separately, publicly readable regardless
Prosocial Coherence Framed explicitly around a shared mission ('the Eight Dignities,' a rights-based framework the nonprofit connects member communities to) rather than pure engagement metrics; publishes governance research in the open, including on AI-agent membership design
Economic Flows Dual-token model: $SELF is a soulbound, non-transferable participation credit (verified hours, quarterly epochs, ~6-month decay, spent by burning, lifetime earnings accrue as Tenure standing); $SYSTEM is a capital-backed, transferable ERC-20 utility token backed ~1:1 by USD held by the nonprofit, minted from donations, redeemable back to fiat via Claims; Proof of Curiosity is a soulbound ERC-721 membership credential
Governance & Decision Making Three-tier proposals — constitutional (on-chain, Advocate credential holders, timelock-executed), treasury-binding, and operational; Hats Protocol roles gate permissions on-chain; individual Pods govern their own treasuries/operations within this structure
Media / Publishing Forums (threaded discussion) and a knowledge base; not a dedicated media-publishing product beyond that
Knowledge Management Knowledge base, surveys, and a Pulse activity feed; Sensemaker (public Q&A assistant) and Kairos (per-pod Community Agent) trained on community knowledge/operations/founding texts via RAG (OpenAI embeddings, Pinecone vector storage)
Sensemaking Sensemaker (public-facing AI Q&A assistant) and Kairos (per-pod AI Community Agent), both built on Anthropic Claude with OpenAI-embedding/Pinecone-backed retrieval over community knowledge and governance documents
Project Management Bounties (open, paid work opportunities turning community priorities into coordinated action) and a Marketplace; no dedicated task/project-tracking feature described beyond that
Communication Model Forum, real-time chat, direct messages, video conferencing (LiveKit self-hosted + WebRTC), events with a calendar — permissioned by membership/Pod roles
Network Resilience L2 sequencer dependency (Base/Coinbase) — transactions halt if the sequencer is down, though on-chain state persists and settles to Ethereum; application layer depends on Vercel/Supabase/Cloudflare Pages remaining available; video calls are self-hosted (LiveKit), independent of a third party
Discovery Mechanism Open enrollment — new communities and members can join; not invitation-only
Max Participants Not specified — no numeric cap mentioned in the spec
Data Sovereignty Mixed, and unusually candidly self-disclosed: on-chain state (balances, votes, Hats roles, contract addresses) is portable and independently verifiable on Base regardless of SpiritDAO's own continued operation; the application layer (database content, hosting, AI services) depends on centralized providers the spec itself rates for portability — Coinbase CDP embedded wallets rated Low (the one genuinely sticky lock-in); Coinbase Paymaster, Supabase, Anthropic, OpenAI, Pinecone and Stripe Medium; Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, self-hosted LiveKit and Upstash Redis High (replaceable). On-chain state is portable; the application layer currently is not
