**If you have ever wondered how a Decentralised Autonomous Organisation (DAO) is run, grab a seat and read on!**

\
Do you know that a DAO, just like a traditional organization, employs a variety of tools or digital applications for different purposes?

\
But the key difference is that a DAO’s tools are mostly decentralized applications or programs running on a blockchain. Decentralized applications, dApps for short, have a crypto wallet interface that enables DAOs to connect and navigate their websites.

\
Dapps and other tools can altogether be found in a DAO tool kit. Here are some popular DAO tools to get familiar with!

\
## **Snapshot**

\
Launched in 2020, Snapshot is a gasless web3 voting platform for DAOs. It enables DAOs to track the opinions and votes of their members openly. It is a free-to-use decentralized protocol with a simple wallet integration, and it allows DAOs to customize their experience.

\
To vote on Snapshot, voters must be accredited (i.e., they must hold the governance token of a DAO).

\
## **JuiceBox**

JuiceBox is the go-to platform for token launch and fundraising on the Ethereum blockchain. It is specifically built for crypto projects that want to raise funds using Ether. In 2021, Constitution DAO raised $47 million on JuiceBox from over 17,000 donors to buy a rare copy of the US constitution.

\
It provides the infrastructure for DAOs to deploy their tokens and raise money.

\
## **Safe**

Formerly known as Gnosis Safe, Safe is a decentralized protocol that provides on-chain custody of digital assets on the Ethereum blockchain and the EVM. Ethereum-based DAOs have millions of dollars in assets secured by Safe.

\
Safe was initially launched in 2018 to support Ethereum, but it has now expanded to such blockchain protocols as Polygon and Binance Smart Chain.

\
Safe has a smart contract multi-sig wallet which is suitable for DAOs as it requires a minimum number of accredited members or core contributors or a threshold to approve a transaction.

## **DeWork**

DeWork is a DAO-friendly dapp that allows freelancers and members of a DAO community to apply for bounties and grants. It currently has over 500 DAOs listed on its platform, and it provides a simple wallet integration that enables successful applicants to earn rewards.

\
DeWork makes finding job opportunities in web3 easy, and it enables DAO communities to collaborate. It is also an open-source platform where DAOs can source for quality contributors whose track records are visible.

## **Coordinape**

Coordinape is specifically designed to help DAOs allocate rewards fairly to their core contributors. In other words, it is a Dapp that allows participants in a DAO to reward one another for their efforts over a given period of time.

\
The membership of a DAO can range from 50 to 20 thousand members or more. Every DAO needs a large platform such as a Discord server to bring its members together.

\
Today, most DAO communities can be found on Discord which is a social media app for gaming, collaboration, and discussion.

\
Discord enables DAO and other crypto-native communities to customize their experience, and it also allows them to interact with other applications outside Discord.

\
Other DAO tools include Utopia, Deep DAO, Kali DAO, Yerba, SuperDAO, Notion, Aragon, Telegram, etc.
