daoCLI

Programmatic & Embedded DAOs for AI Agents and Modern Web3 Applications

daoCLI is a toolkit built for AI agents to create and manage programmatic & embedded DAOs on Solana. Traditional DAOs require human interfaces, separate websites, and manual governance - making them unsuitable for AI-driven operations. daoCLI solves this by providing a CLI-first, programmatic approach that enables AI agents to create, manage, and interact with DAOs directly through code.

We are like Stripe...we are developer first. Because AI Agents are developer first.

🌟 Why daoCLI?

For Developers	For Users	For Investors
CLI-first approach	Stay in your product ecosystem	Direct exposure to DAO performance
Full automation support	Seamless token interactions	Liquid secondary market
Git & CI/CD integration	No platform switching	Real-time price discovery
Programmatic control	Integrated trading interface	Transparent mechanics

🤖 Why AI Agents Need daoCLI

Traditional DAOs	daoCLI for AI
Requires human interfaces	Pure programmatic interaction
Manual governance through websites	Automated governance through code
Separate platforms & websites	Embedded directly in applications
High operational overhead	Minimal computational overhead
Human-centric UX	API-first design

🚀 Quick Start for AI Integration

Basic Setup

# Install daoCLI
npm install -g daocli

# Initialize DAO programmatically
daocli init --agent-key YOUR_AI_AGENT_KEY

# Create DAO with AI management
daocli create-dao \
  --target 1000 \
  --ai-manager YOUR_AI_MANAGER \
  --strategy-path ./ai_strategy.json

# Setup automated trading
daocli setup-trading \
  --strategy algorithmic \
  --risk-params ./risk_config.json

Detailed CLI Usage

1. First, ensure you have a proper configuration in dao-config.jsonnet

2. Initialize the DAO:

./dao-cli.js init -t 1000 -m 0.1 -d 30

• -t: Fundraising target in SOL
• -m: Minimum price in SOL
• -d: Duration in days

3. Create the liquidity pool:

./dao-cli.js create-pool -s 100 -t 1000000

• -s: Initial SOL amount
• -t: Initial token amount

4. Stake LP tokens:

./dao-cli.js stake -a 1000

• -a: Amount of LP tokens to stake

Each command can be automated and integrated into AI workflows through the programmatic API.

Complete CLI Reference

# Basic DAO Operations
daocli create-dao --target 1000 --name "MyDAO"
daocli setup-pool --sol 10 --tokens 1000000
daocli deploy --network mainnet
daocli set-permissions --address YOUR_ADDRESS

# AI Agent Operations
daocli set-agent --key YOUR_AI_KEY --permissions "TRADE,GOVERN"
daocli configure-agent --strategy ./strategy.json
daocli monitor-agent --metrics "performance,risk"

# Advanced Operations
daocli update-params --config ./new_params.json
daocli view-analytics --format json
daocli export-state --output ./state.json

# Management Commands
daocli list-daos --filter "active"
daocli show-permissions --dao DAO_ADDRESS
daocli backup-config --path ./backup

Each command supports both human and programmatic interaction, with AI agents typically using the programmatic API for automation.
