Most DAO platforms are technical, overwhelming, and unapproachable for everyday users. There’s no central place that combines community-style communication with powerful DAO management tools.

Create an intuitive, visually engaging platform that helps users (creators and members) form, manage, and participate in DAOs - without technical complexity. Make a platform that makes DAO participation feel as seamless as joining a community group chat.

I watched a video by Honestly by Tanmay Bhat where he described DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) as “internet communities with a bank account.” It’s a group with a shared goal and pooled funds, managed through voting. Imagine Eminem wants to create a DAO called "Slim Shady DAO" for hip hop lovers. I also came across different types of DAO such as Service, Social, and Venture DAOs, which helped me shape DAOverse as a flexible, community-first platform.

Many DAOs expressed the need for a single, intuitive platform that feels familiar to Web2 users but maintains Web3 principles.

I accounted for edge cases like failed DAO creation, insufficient tokens, app maintenance, or unexpected errors. These screens ensure users aren’t left confused and always have clear guidance, keeping the experience smooth even when things go wrong.

DAOverse was a chance to blend systems thinking with creativity. It wasn’t just about building a tool—it was about making decentralized collaboration feel inviting, human, and actionable. Even without metrics, early reactions from peers and mentors pointed out how “easy-to-grasp” and “actually fun” the experience felt.
