CogniDAO
Building an open source launchpad for community run codebases.
The Goal
People spark an idea, and it spawns a new DAO-codebase. AI and fair governance empower a community to build and benefit from it together.
These DAO-codebases can network together to form...
The Current
- One Lonely DAO, DM me to join
- Each repo has
.cogni/repo-spec.yamlthat sets its code acceptance rules. - AI reviews code against the repo’s goals.
- Code gets to main → Autodeploy.
- Unhappy that AI rejected your code? Start a DAO vote to override and merge.
What We’re Doing
did you really leave all these tiles blank?
Yeah, it’s a metaphor
Our GitHub Repositories
Each repo produced by CogniDAO will be a DAO-controlled codebase. Pick an area you’d like to contribute to. They all need help.
Git Admin App
The first direct connection between a DAO and admin Git repo actions.
Cogni Site
Next.js frontend application for CogniDAO’s memory and knowledge management system.
AI Code Review
Configurable Code Review Agent that stands between your code and the DAO’s main branch.
EVM Smart Contract
CogniSignal that the Admin app listens for, and deploy scripts for creating a new DAO.
AI Agents + Decentralized Memory
Careful, there be dragons here.
SourceCred
Credit People for their work. SourceCred crashed 3 years ago, we need to rebuild it.
Security Model
Hey where did our model go?
Known Issues
Are we an autonomous cobebase controlled by a DAO yet?
| Issue | Severity | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stability | High | Self-reflecting | I created 50 test DAOs this week. How long will this testnet DAO last before we redeploy? |
| Git Admin Granular Permissions | High | In Progress | Currently:1 DAO has control over all codebases the github app is installed on. |
| Tokenomics | Medium | Scared | Sourcred Weights will take a lot of trial+error. Tokenomics: will model after: Helium, Hivemapper, Akash |
| Github Org Owner | Medium | Identified | Github MUST have a person owner. Plan: Standardized Gitlab selfhosting |

Well these buttons don’t work. You want to code them?
What, no discord either? wowwww
