Integration with Commonwealth (governance)
Commonwealth is a platform for off-chain discussions and voting used by hundreds of DAOs. Essentially it's a forum plus governance tools: proposal drafting, snapshot voting, discussions tied to on-chain activity.
For most DAOs, integrating with Commonwealth means creating a community, configuring a token for member verification, and linking off-chain discussions to on-chain governance processes. Complete cycle: an idea appears in a Commonwealth thread → matures through discussion → becomes a formal proposal → voting (through Commonwealth Snapshot integration or external Snapshot) → on-chain execution.
What really needs to be configured
Community creation. Registration on Commonwealth, specifying the chain (Ethereum, Polygon, Cosmos, etc.), linking the token address for verification. After this, token holders can log in via wallet and participate in discussions.
Token-gating. You can restrict participation: only holders of X tokens see certain sections or can create proposals. Configured in community settings without programming.
Snapshot integration. Commonwealth is natively integrated with Snapshot: creating a proposal in Commonwealth can automatically trigger voting on Snapshot. Results are displayed directly in the thread.
Webhooks and API. For deeper integration — Commonwealth API allows reading proposals, comments, voting results. You can build dashboards or automate notifications (Discord bot, Telegram bot) when new proposals are created.
Typical timeline for basic integration setup — 1-3 business days. Custom integrations through API — from a week depending on requirements.
