Āut is an extendable Protocol designed to power the next generation of human Coordination. The DAOs 2.0, if you like, or a DAO Renaissance. It does so by ''expanding'' any Standard DAO Contract - with custom Membership modules on top. Āut is a protocol that expands any DAO’s legacy contract (i.e.: a Moloch DAO), and bringing expandable, customizable membership & governance modules at contract level for Web3 Communities. At its core, it adds the native concept of Role & Interaction at contract level - so that each Member of a Community is represented in a much more multidimensional, richer way - other than a flat 0x… address. Currently, the Āut suite includes: - to Integrate āut, add Roles & expand/deploy a DAO from scratch. - a Decentralized Authentication System for DAOs. - a DAO OS, to manage members, tasks and community modules. - (my) ĀutID: a public profile & portfolio for self-sovereign, non-transferable NFT IDs.
