Flash DAO

An AI-driven, event-triggered system that launches DAOs in minutes to coordinate funding & response

Flash DAO

Created At

ETHGlobal Taipei

Project Description

⚡ Triggered by real-world events An oracle detects significant events (e.g., disasters, crises, campaigns) and instantly activates an AI agent.

AI Agent auto-generates smart contracts The agent creates a dedicated DAO on-chain, tailored to the specific event.

Open & refundable funding Anyone can donate USDC. If the funding goal is not met, donations are automatically refunded.

1 USDC = 1 Governance Vote Every dollar donated gives the contributor 1:1 voting power in the DAO.

Verified Volunteers, Transparent Selection Donors vote to select a single volunteer candidate who will redeem and distribute the funds. Volunteers must verify their identity using Self (passport scan + document proof). Their real name is made public during voting.

Strict accountability If the selected volunteer fails to deliver, they are blacklisted and publicly identified.

Trustless & automated No need for intermediaries. Everything is executed via smart contracts.

How it's Made

FlashDAO Tech Stack & Architecture Overview AI Agent Layer Claude (by Anthropic) An autonomous agent that generates event-specific DAO smart contracts based on real-time data. Powers the event-driven, auto-deployable governance infrastructure.

Cross-Chain Infrastructure

  • Circle CCTP v2 (Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol) Enables native USDC transfers across multiple chains, ensuring seamless access to funds on any supported network.
  • MultiChainDAOFactory.sol A factory contract for deploying and managing DAOs across chains. It maintains cross-chain mappings and supports bridge-triggered deployments.

Identity & Verification Layer Self Protocol

  • A decentralized identity verification solution. Volunteers complete verification by scanning their passport and uploading documents via the Self app.
  • Self Offchain SDK Off-chain verification module integrated into the front end, works with the on-chain ISelfProtocol interface to validate volunteer identities.

FlashDAO Smart Contract Structure FlashDAO/ ├── EventDAOFactory.sol // Single-chain DAO factory ├── MultiChainDAOFactory.sol // Cross-chain DAO factory ├── EventDAO.sol // Core event DAO contract (donation, voting, allocation) ├── VolunteerRegistry.sol // Manages volunteer applications and identity verification ├── FlashDAOToken.sol // Governance token (1 USDC = 1 vote) ├── interfaces/ │ └── ISelfProtocol.sol // Interface for interacting with Self Protocol └── mocks/ ├── SelfProtocolMock.sol // Test/mock version of Self └── ERC20Mock.sol // Mock USDC token for testing Governance & Fundraising Flow An oracle detects a crisis → Claude AI generates a DAO contract → Agent deploys it automatically. Users donate USDC → Each USDC grants 1:1 governance rights. Verified volunteers apply → Identity is checked via Self Protocol. Donors vote for the volunteer candidate → Top-voted becomes the fund redemption agent. Funds are swapped to fiat to support the cause → If the volunteer fails, they're blacklisted.
