What is Paideia?

Paideia is a Web3 DAO management suite designed to make decentralized governance accessible, secure, and flexible. It supports DAOs at every stage, from creation to advanced treasury management, with a focus on transparency, low fees, and ease of use.

  • Launch and manage DAOs with custom governance and voting structures
  • Distribute tokens, raise funds, and manage treasuries
  • Create, discuss, and vote on proposals
  • Stake tokens for participation and rewards
  • Moderation and anti-spam tools for healthy DAO communities

Prerequisites

  • Ergo wallet (e.g., Nautilus) for interacting with Paideia
  • Creating a DAO requires 50,000 Paideia tokens (contact the team to initiate)
  • Creating proposals requires at least 500 Paideia tokens in your wallet

Getting Started

  1. Connect and authenticate your wallet on the Paideia platform using the Connect Wallet button.
  2. Create your profile (username, bio, profile picture).
  3. Stake the appropriate DAO token under Staking → Manage Stake to participate.

Creating Proposals

  1. Ensure you have at least 500 Paideia tokens in your wallet.
  2. Go to your DAO's page and click Create Proposal.
  3. Fill in proposal details, outputs, and duration, then submit.
  4. Sign the transaction with your wallet when prompted.

Voting on Proposals

  • DAO members can vote on active proposals.
  • Check your DAO's config for minimum Paideia required to vote (e.g., Sigmanauts DAO requires none).
  • Votes may take time to appear in the UI; refresh if needed.

Staking & Unstaking

  • Stake Paideia tokens through the dApp for participation and rewards.
  • If you encounter issues: ensure your wallet is synced, consolidate UTXOs, clear cache, and reconnect.
  • For persistent issues, contact the Paideia team via Discord.

Moderation & Spam Prevention

  • Proposal creation costs a small amount of Paideia tokens to discourage spam.
  • DAO members may have roles with different moderation privileges based on token holdings.
  • Community up/down voting and minimum token requirements for posting are planned.

Development Updates

  • Refactored smart contracts for better code reuse
  • Staking reward system now allows DAOs to change emission rates
  • Generic refund/configuration logic in contracts
  • Planned migration to EIP-5 standard

Support & Issue Reporting

  • For support, open a ticket in the Paideia Discord.
  • Share console logs (F12) with the team for debugging.
