Flagship Projects
Quai-Vault
ShippedDecentralized multisig wallet system for Quai Network
Purpose-built multisig for Quai Network's sharded architecture. Configurable thresholds, hash-based unordered transactions, epoch-based approval invalidation, and on-chain social recovery — an alternative to Gnosis Safe designed from the ground up for Quai rather than ported. Includes contracts, indexer, dApp frontend, and docs site.
DAO-Ships
ShippedDAO launcher on Quai Network
Open-source DAO framework and launchpad, live on Quai mainnet. A single transaction deploys a complete organization — governance ship, Shares voting token, Loot economic token, and a Quai-Vault multisig treasury — for roughly 300K gas instead of the ~4M an upstream deployment costs. Inspired by MolochDAO v3 / Baal but rewritten from scratch on OpenZeppelin v5. Includes contracts, indexer, dApp, SDK, CLI, and docs site.
