The DAO registry of DeGov Square

This repository is the public registry used by DeGov Square https://square.degov.ai. It lists DAOs that use DeGov as their governance framework and provides the YAML files consumed by the Square frontend.

DeGov is an open-source project that enables anyone to build their own DAO, provided the DAO's contracts are based on the standard OpenZeppelin Governor contract.

Repository layout

• config.yml: the registry index. It maps a network to one or more DAO entries.
• daos/*.yml: one DAO configuration file per DAO.
• schemas/config.schema.json: validation rules for config.yml.
• schemas/dao.schema.json: validation rules for each DAO config file.
• .github/workflows/check.yml: CI validation for pull requests and pushes.

Contributing a new DAO

External contributors can use either of these collaboration paths:

1. Open a GitHub issue with the DAO details if you want maintainers to help prepare the config files.
2. Open a pull request directly if you already know the target format.

For both paths, the recommended onboarding flow is:

1. Add a new DAO config file under daos/<dao-code>.yml.
2. Add the DAO to the correct network list in config.yml.
3. Start with state: draft.
4. After the DAO has been synced and verified, update the entry to state: active.

Some existing entries omit state, but new contributions should prefer writing the state explicitly so the lifecycle stays easy to review.

Validation

The repository validates both files in CI:

• config.yml is validated against schemas/config.schema.json
• daos/*.yml are validated against schemas/dao.schema.json

When opening a PR, make sure the YAML you add matches the schema and follows the examples already present in this repository.
