Āut is a suite of DAO-native Tools to expand decentralized communities. We're on a mission to accelerate the transition from an authoritarian, centralized, exploitative distribution of power - to non-hierarchical, more efficient, self-organizing organizational structures. Our protocols do so by "expanding" any Legacy DAO Contract – adding native concepts such as Roles & Commitment – directly at contract level, in a new DAO standard called Nova. Novas can be customized through the addition of composable Modules & Plugins, such as Onboarding Strategies and Reward Mechanisms. Currently maintained protocols include: - Nova (DAO Standard with Roles) - ĀutID (portable, non-transferable NFT ID) - Reputation - Various Modules & Plugins More about Āut Labs @ docs.aut.id
