How it works

Decide together, move money together.

EnDAO gives your group one shared account, a clear way to agree on what to do with it, and a record everyone can see. Money moves only under the rule your group set, and nothing happens off the books.

01

Why a shared account needs rules

A group that pools money has to answer three questions: who can spend it, who approved that, and where it went. Usually those answers live in one person’s head, a spreadsheet only they update, or a group chat nobody can search.

EnDAO makes the rules explicit and the history permanent. Your group decides together how money moves, and every contribution, approval, and payment is written down where every member can see it.

02

How a decision becomes a receipt

1Someone proposes. A member suggests a spend, like $1,200 toward the spring festival, with the reason attached.
2The group weighs in. Members talk it through and vote. The rules you set decide what it takes to pass: a majority, a fixed number of approvals, whatever fits how your group actually works.
3It gets co-signed. Once a decision passes, the people your group named co-sign the payment, under the rule your group set.
4The receipt lands. The payment posts to a shared ledger every member can see: date, amount, and who approved it. It stays there for good.

That same loop works for a six-person co-op and a six-thousand-member network.

03

Not every vote binds you

Get a read

Nothing is decided. You’ll see where people stand.

  • Float an ideaSee whether people are broadly for or against, before anyone writes it up.
  • Pick a favouriteSee which option people like best. Nobody is bound by the result.
  • Rank the optionsPut the options in your order of preference, so the group can see its collective order.

Make a decision

This one counts. If it passes it goes on the record — and it can act.

  • Vote on a proposalPut a specific proposal to the group. It passes if enough members vote for it.
  • Vote by ownershipMembers vote for or against, and each answer carries the ownership behind it rather than counting once.Counted on the ownership held when this is raised — anything issued or transferred afterwards does not vote, and a class set to no voting weight does not either.
  • Hold an electionMembers rank the candidates. Works for one position or several.The result is recorded — granting the position is a separate step.

A record you can trust, and keep

RecordedNothing happens off the books.
AuditableAny member can trace where the money went and who signed off.
PortableThe record belongs to your group, not to us.
InheritableIt outlasts whoever set it up, so the next steward starts with the full history.

05

Who it’s for

EnDAO fits any group that holds money together — community groups, mutual aid, business partnerships, HOAs, cooperatives, family trusts. The words on screen change to match: “trustees” for a trust, “board” for an HOA. The shared account, the approvals, and the receipts are the same.

Getting started

Three steps to your first decision

1Fill in the setup form. A few questions about your group, and you land in a working shared account with the right rules already set.
2Invite your members.
3Make your first decision. Pick how the group decides: a read that binds nobody, or a question that counts. Then post it.
