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 contracts, DAO infrastructure, and off-chain operational systems. The goal is to provide a clear reference for DAO organizers, builders, and partners to understand how a DAO is technically set up and how it functions end to end.

This section focuses on how things work, rather than why they exist (which is covered in the Model section).

What This Section Covers

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

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 for: 
  • Dev Partner milestone payments 
  • Organizer Partner payments 
  • Service revenue sharing 
  • Micro-task and contributor payments 
• Parameterized revenue allocation between contributors, partners, and LP holders 

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

• Registration and configuration of DAOs in Kambria Admin 
• Linking on-chain contracts to off-chain dashboards and workflows 
• Operational controls required to support real-world execution 

These components are designed to work together as a coherent execution system, rather than as isolated smart contracts .

How to Read This Section

This section is organized to follow the actual execution flow of a Kambria DAO:

1. Create DAO
   How a DAO is deployed on-chain and initialized. 
2. Subsequent Pages
   Detailed workflows for: 
   • Token sale setup 
   • Vesting and funding flows 
   • Partner payment contracts 
   • Revenue sharing and calculation 
   • Micro-job and contributor payments 

Each page focuses on one stage or component, explaining:

• The purpose of the contract or workflow 
• How it fits into the overall DAO lifecycle 
• Key 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 (voting, fund release, revenue sharing) are executed on-chain and auditable. 
• Practical Execution
  The system supports real-world development, production, and service delivery, not just on-chain governance. 
• Progressive Decentralization
  Some workflows require human oversight or off-chain coordination, especially in early phases. 

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 live contract addresses are typically documented on:

• Individual DAO pages 
• DAO dashboards 
• Proposal and deployment records 

Relationship to Other Sections

• The Model section explains what Kambria DAOs are and how value and ownership are structured. 
• This Smart Contracts & Workflows section explains how those structures are implemented and executed. 
• The Create DAO page is the starting point for hands-on execution. 

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