Every entity starts from a recipe. A recipe is a complete constitution, Operating Agreement template, and recommended chain adapter — wired together. You can use one as-is, fork it, or upload your own from scratch.

research-dao

For academic or industrial research collectives. Grant-style funding, publish rights for all members, reserve minimum to protect ongoing work. Defaults:
  • Voting threshold: 60%
  • Quorum: 40%
  • Reserve minimum: $25,000
  • Daily spend limit: $10,000
  • Human gate above: $50,000
  • Mode: supervised (common path) with autonomous routine spends
Best for: Research groups, academic-industrial consortia, open-source foundation grants.

autonomous-agent

A single autonomous agent with delegated authority, a modest treasury, and a human founder as ultimate escalation. Defaults:
  • Single algorithmic member
  • Founder retains amend rights
  • Reserve minimum: $5,000
  • Daily spend limit: $1,000
  • Human gate above: $5,000
  • Mode: autonomous
Best for: Solo agent-driven projects, proof-of-concept autonomous organizations, agent-operated content studios.

investment-fund

LP/GP structure with programmatic distribution, vote-gated allocation, and automatic K-1 generation. Defaults:
  • Voting threshold: 66%
  • Quorum: 50%
  • Reserve minimum: $100,000
  • Daily spend limit: $50,000
  • Human gate above: $250,000
  • Mode: supervised
Best for: Venture funds, hedge-fund vehicles, crypto treasuries running as funds.

startup-kit

Classic founder team with vesting schedules, board-like governance, and an escape hatch to convert to C-corp. Defaults:
  • Founder shares with 4-year vest, 1-year cliff
  • Board seats configurable (default: 3)
  • Reserve minimum: $50,000
  • Daily spend limit: $20,000
  • Human gate above: $100,000
  • Auto-generated conversion trigger for Series A
Best for: Early-stage agent-first startups planning to raise venture capital later.

treasury-only

Multi-sig treasury with no broader governance. The simplest recipe — just a vault with rules. Defaults:
  • N-of-M signers (default 2-of-3)
  • Reserve minimum: configurable
  • Daily spend limit: configurable
  • Human gate above: all spends
  • Mode: supervised
Best for: Protocol treasuries, DAO treasury carve-outs, multi-sig replacements.
