BC DAO Canvas
The Bankless Consulting DAO Launch Cheetsheet
In today’s world, anyone can launch a DAO: connect a wallet, name your DAO, initiate a smart contract, and you’re on-chain with 100 of your closest collaborators. Easy, right? The challenge isn’t launching—it’s launching an effective, sustainable DAO.
At Bankless Consulting, the first crypto-native management consulting firm, we’ve crafted a comprehensive playbook for launching DAOs: The DAO Canvas. This is the same template we use with clients, and now it’s available to anyone wanting to launch a DAO or strengthen an existing one. And it’s completely free.
Why Use the DAO Canvas?
The DAO Canvas guides you through essential, sometimes tough, questions that can make or break a DAO. It’s designed as a foundational tool that your team can revisit regularly to evaluate progress and direction. By grounding your DAO in the Canvas’s framework, you’re setting up a clear path for long-term sustainability.
What’s Inside?
Launching a DAO requires careful planning. It starts with defining purpose, values, and vision. Who’s on your team? Who’s your audience? How will you improve their experience? How will you manage your treasury? What’s your approach to governance and updating rules?….and so much more!
Our DAO Canvas is a tool to guide core contributors through these critical questions and lay a solid foundation for the DAO’s future. Check it out, give it a try, and let us know your feedback. We’re always improving the framework and would love your insights!
If you encounter challenges or have questions along the way, we’re here to help. Our practice revolves around guiding and advising clients through every stage of launching a DAO. Don’t hesitate to reach out—let’s build something great together.
