DAOship: A No-Code Platform for Democratizing DAO Deployment on the Avalanche Blockchain

Abstract

The emergence of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) represents a paradigm shift in organizational governance, yet their technical complexity remains a significant barrier to widespread adoption. Creating and managing a DAO requires deep expertise in blockchain development, smart contract auditing, and cryptocurrency operations, which excludes many potential users in non-technical domains. This paper presents DAOship, a novel no-code platform for DAO creation and management deployed on the Avalanche blockchain. The platform provides an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) that allows users to configure, launch, and operate a fully-functional DAO without writing a single line of code. By leveraging Avalanche's high throughput and low transaction fees, the system enables the deployment of customizable smart contracts for governance, treasury management, and voting. The platform dramatically lowers the technical barrier, empowering communities, startups, and traditional organizations to leverage decentralized governance models easily and securely. Testing on the Avalanche Fuji testnet yielded a 97% reduction in setup time, an average System Usability Scale (SUS) score of 89.2, and zero critical vulnerabilities across all deployed DAOs.
