Smart Contracts & Workflows

Overview

This section documents the smart contract architecture and operational workflows used to create and operate Kambria DAOs.

It explains how Kambria DAOs are implemented in practice, covering the interaction between:

• on-chain smart contracts
• DAO governance infrastructure
• treasury management
• off-chain operational systems

The goal is to provide a clear technical reference for DAO organizers, builders, and partners to understand how a Kambria DAO is set up and how it functions end to end.

While the Model section explains the conceptual design of Kambria DAOs, this section focuses on how those designs are implemented in practice.

 

What This Section Covers

The Smart Contracts & Workflows section describes the technical and operational components that support a Kambria DAO throughout its lifecycle.

These include:

1. DAO Creation and Core Contracts

• DAO creation using a DAO infrastructure platform (e.g. XDAO)
• Deployment of the DAO Governance Token (GT)
• Initial governance configuration (partners, voting power, quorum)

2. Ownership and Participation Tokens

• Creation of DAO LP tokens representing co-ownership and revenue-sharing rights
• Token sale and distribution mechanisms
• Wallets used for LP token sales and treasury management

3. Token and Contract Integrations

• Integration of ecosystem tokens (e.g. KAT, stablecoins, asset-backed tokens)
• Governance token synchronization mechanisms
• Configuration of token sale campaigns and vesting logic

4. Payment and Revenue-Sharing Workflows

Smart contracts used for DAO operations, including:

• Vesting contracts for token allocations
• Milestone payment contracts for partner deliverables
• Microjob payment contracts for task-based contributions
• Service revenue sharing contracts for distributing DAO-generated revenue

These contracts ensure that payments and rewards are distributed transparently and according to predefined rules.

5. Commercialization and Revenue Calculation

• Revenue calculation logic
• Distribution rules for different stakeholder groups
• Separation of operational expenses and shared revenue

6. Off-Chain Configuration and Administration

Some operational steps require coordination outside the blockchain, including:

• registration and configuration of DAOs in Kambria Admin
• linking on-chain contracts to operational dashboards
• execution workflows that support real-world services

These off-chain systems interact with smart contracts to support DAO operations.

 

Core Smart Contract Modules

The Kambria DAO architecture uses modular smart contracts, each responsible for a specific operational function.

SyncGT Contract

Synchronizes governance token balances to ensure voting power remains accurate across DAO systems.

Vesting Contract

Manages scheduled token distributions for contributors, partners, and ecosystem incentives.

Milestone Payment Contract

Releases funds based on completion of predefined project milestones.

Microjob Payment Contract

Handles payments for contributors performing high-frequency micro tasks.

Service Revenue Sharing Contract

Distributes revenue generated by DAO services among stakeholders such as LP holders and contributors.

This modular architecture allows DAOs to adopt only the components required for their specific operations.

 

How to Read This Section

This section follows the actual execution flow of a Kambria DAO.

The pages are organized in the order in which a DAO is typically implemented.

Create DAO: Explains how a DAO is deployed on-chain and initialized.

Subsequent Pages: Describe the operational workflows used after DAO creation, including:

• token sale setup
• vesting and funding flows
• partner payment contracts
• revenue sharing and calculation
• microjob and contributor payments

Each page focuses on a specific component and explains:

• the purpose of the contract or workflow
• how it fits into the DAO lifecycle
• the roles involved
• important operational considerations

 

Design Principles Behind the Architecture

The smart contracts and workflows documented here follow several core principles.

Modularity

Each function (governance, funding, payment, revenue sharing) is handled by a dedicated contract or workflow.

Configurability

Key parameters can be adjusted per DAO to support different use cases while reusing common templates.

Transparency

Critical actions such as voting, fund release, and revenue sharing are executed on-chain and can be audited.

Practical Execution

The system supports real-world development, production, and service delivery — not only on-chain governance.

Progressive Decentralization

Some workflows require human oversight or off-chain coordination, particularly in early DAO phases.

Over time, more processes may become automated or fully decentralized.

 

Scope and Limitations

This section:

• documents reference implementations and standard workflows
• does not list all contract addresses for every DAO
• does not prescribe a single immutable configuration
• may evolve as tooling and infrastructure improve

DAO-specific configurations and contract addresses are typically documented in:

• individual DAO pages
• DAO dashboards
• proposal and deployment records

 

Relationship to Other Sections

The Kambria DAOs documentation is organized into complementary layers.

The Model section explains:

• what Kambria DAOs are
• how ownership and value sharing are structured

The Smart Contracts & Workflows section explains:

• how those structures are implemented
• how DAO operations are executed technically

The Create DAO page serves as the entry point for the operational workflow.

Together, these sections provide a complete view of both the design and implementation of Kambria DAOs.
