Clarity dApp
A multi-chain governance platform that lets DAOs on Cardano, Radix, and Midnight run proposals, vote with their tokens, manage treasuries, and reward community contributors.

DAOs need no-code, accessible governance infrastructure. Non-technical users need a way to quickly and easily handle real governance workflows like treasury management, voting power snapshots, and on-chain proposal execution.
What I Built
I designed and shipped a no-code DAO tooling platform that handles three very different blockchain models (Cardano's UTxO, Radix's resource model, and Midnight's privacy primitives). On top of this, I built snapshot voting weighted by token/NFT holdings, on-chain Agora governance with real treasury control via the Agora library, a gems and rewards system to gamify participation, and a full proposal lifecycle from drafting through execution.
Technical Decisions
I chose to provide strong off-chain snapshot support over exclusively on-chain voting for cost and UX. Voting power is computed via a cron job and are fully auditable. I also integrated the Agora framework for Cardano-native DAOs that need real on-chain treasury control — proposals, stakes, and execution all settle on-chain. The database workflow uses Neon branch databases so every schema change gets its own ephemeral DB for safe migration testing before merging.
Impact
Clarity is live in production, supporting multiple DAOs with $4.5M in total value locked and over $8.5M in customer funds managed through smart contracts. The platform serves approximately 300,000 token holders across Cardano, Radix, and Midnight. We reduced user bug reports by ~70% through comprehensive testing and CI/CD, and cut operational costs by 63% by migrating to a managed serverless architecture. The company was accepted to the Alchemist Accelerator in San Francisco.
