Cloning Web3 Starter Project Using the commands below, clone the web 3.0 starter project below. This will ensure that we’re all on the same page and are using the same packages.

git clone https://github.com/Daltonic/dominionDAO

Fantastic, let us replace the package.json file with the one below:

{

      "last 1 chrome version",
      "last 1 firefox version",
      "last 1 safari version"
    ]
  }
}

Great, replace your package.json file with the above code and then run yarn install on your terminal.

With that all installed, let’s start with writing the Dominion DAO smart contract.

Configuring CometChat SDK

To configure the CometChat SDK, follow the steps below, at the end, you need to store these keys as an environment variable.

STEP 1: Head to CometChat Dashboard and create an account.

STEP 2: Log in to the CometChat dashboard, only after registering.

STEP 3: From the dashboard, add a new app called dominionDAO.

STEP 4: Select the app you just created from the list.

STEP 5: From the Quick Start copy the APP_ID, REGION, and AUTH_KEY, to your .env file. See the image and code snippet.

Replace the REACT_COMET_CHAT placeholders keys with their appropriate values.

REACT_APP_COMET_CHAT_REGION=**
REACT_APP_COMET_CHAT_APP_ID=**************
REACT_APP_COMET_CHAT_AUTH_KEY=******************************

Configuring Infuria App

STEP 1: Head to Infuria, and create an account.

STEP 2: From the dashboard create a new project.

STEP 3: Copy the Rinkeby test network WebSocket endpoint URL to your .env file.

Next, add your Metamask secret phrase and your preferred account private key. If you have done those correctly, your environment variables should now look like this.

ENDPOINT_URL=***************************
DEPLOYER_KEY=**********************

REACT_APP_COMET_CHAT_REGION=**
REACT_APP_COMET_CHAT_APP_ID=**************
REACT_APP_COMET_CHAT_AUTH_KEY=******************************

If you don’t know how to access your private key, see the section below.

Accessing Your Metamask Private Key

STEP 1: Click on your Metamask browser extension, and make sure Rinkeby is selected as the test network. Next, on the preferred account, click on the vertical dotted line and select account details. See the image below.

STEP 2: Enter your password on the field provided and click the confirm button, this will enable you to access your account private key.

STEP 3: Click on "export private key" to see your private key. Make sure you never expose your keys on a public page such as Github. That is why we are appending it as an environment variable.

STEP 4: Copy your private key to your .env file. See the image and code snippet below:

ENDPOINT_URL=***************************
SECRET_KEY=******************
DEPLOYER_KEY=**********************

REACT_APP_COMET_CHAT_REGION=**
REACT_APP_COMET_CHAT_APP_ID=**************
REACT_APP_COMET_CHAT_AUTH_KEY=******************************

As for your SECRET_KEY, you are required to paste your Metamask secret phrase in the space provided in the environment file.

In the project you just cloned, head to src >> contract directory and create a file named DominionDAO.sol, then paste the above codes inside of it.

Explanation:

// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.7;

Solidity requires a license identifier to compile your code, else it will produce a warning asking you to specify one. Also, Solidity requires that you specify the version of the compiler for your smart contract. That is what the word pragma represents.

import "@openzeppelin/contracts/access/AccessControl.sol";
import "@openzeppelin/contracts/security/ReentrancyGuard.sol";

In the above code block, we are utilizing two openzeppelin's smart contracts for specifying roles and guarding our smart contract against reentrancy attacks.

bytes32 private immutable CONTRIBUTOR_ROLE = keccak256("CONTRIBUTOR");
bytes32 private immutable STAKEHOLDER_ROLE = keccak256("STAKEHOLDER");
uint32 immutable MIN_VOTE_DURATION = 1 weeks;
uint256 totalProposals;
uint256 public daoBalance;

We set up some state variables for stakeholder and contributor roles and specified the minimum vote duration to be one week. And we also initialized the total proposal counter and a variable to keep a record of our available balance.

mapping(uint256 => ProposalStruct) private raisedProposals;
mapping(address => uint256[]) private stakeholderVotes;
mapping(uint256 => VotedStruct[]) private votedOn;
mapping(address => uint256) private contributors;
mapping(address => uint256) private stakeholders;

raisedProposals keep track of all proposals submitted to our smart contract. stakeholderVotes as its name implies keeping track of votes made by stakeholders. votedOn keeps track of all the votes associated with a proposal. While contributors keep track of anyone who donated to our platform, stakeholders on the other hand keep track of people that have contributed up to 1 ether.

struct ProposalStruct {
    uint256 id;
    uint256 amount;
    uint256 duration;
    uint256 upvotes;
    uint256 downvotes;
    string title;
    string description;
    bool passed;
    bool paid;
    address payable beneficiary;
    address proposer;
    address executor;
}

struct VotedStruct {
    address voter;
    uint256 timestamp;
    bool choosen;
}

proposalStruct describes the content of each proposal whereas votedStruct describes the content of each vote.

event Action(
    address indexed initiator,
    bytes32 role,
    string message,
    address indexed beneficiary,
    uint256 amount
);

This is a dynamic event called Action. This will help us enrich the information logged out per transaction.

modifier stakeholderOnly(string memory message) {
    require(hasRole(STAKEHOLDER_ROLE, msg.sender), message);
    _;
}

modifier contributorOnly(string memory message) {
    require(hasRole(CONTRIBUTOR_ROLE, msg.sender), message);
    _;
}

The above modifiers help us identify users by role and also prevent them from accessing some unauthorized resources.

function createProposal(
    string calldata title,
    string calldata description,
    address beneficiary,
    uint256 amount
)external
 stakeholderOnly("Proposal Creation Allowed for Stakeholders only")
{
    uint256 proposalId = totalProposals++;
    ProposalStruct storage proposal = raisedProposals[proposalId];

    proposal.id = proposalId;
    proposal.proposer = payable(msg.sender);
    proposal.title = title;
    proposal.description = description;
    proposal.beneficiary = payable(beneficiary);
    proposal.amount = amount;
    proposal.duration = block.timestamp + MIN_VOTE_DURATION;

    emit Action(
        msg.sender,
        CONTRIBUTOR_ROLE,
        "PROPOSAL RAISED",
        beneficiary,
        amount
    );
}

The above function takes a proposal's title, description, amount, and the beneficiary’s wallet address and creates a proposal. The function only permits stakeholders to create proposals. Stakeholders are users who have made at least a contribution of 1 ether.

function performVote(uint256 proposalId, bool choosen)
    external
    stakeholderOnly("Unauthorized: Stakeholders only")
{
    ProposalStruct storage proposal = raisedProposals[proposalId];

    handleVoting(proposal);

    if (choosen) proposal.upvotes++;
    else proposal.downvotes++;

    stakeholderVotes[msg.sender].push(proposal.id);

    votedOn[proposal.id].push(
        VotedStruct(
            msg.sender,
            block.timestamp,
            choosen
        )
    );

    emit Action(
        msg.sender,
        STAKEHOLDER_ROLE,
        "PROPOSAL VOTE",
        proposal.beneficiary,
        proposal.amount
    );
}

This function accepts two arguments, a proposal Id, and a preferred choice represented by a Boolean value. True means you accepted the vote and False represents a rejection.

function handleVoting(ProposalStruct storage proposal) private {
    if (
        proposal.passed ||
        proposal.duration <= block.timestamp
    ) {
        proposal.passed = true;
        revert("Proposal duration expired");
    }

    uint256[] memory tempVotes = stakeholderVotes[msg.sender];
    for (uint256 votes = 0; votes < tempVotes.length; votes++) {
        if (proposal.id == tempVotes[votes])
            revert("Double voting not allowed");
    }
}

This function performs the actual voting including checking if a user is a stakeholder and qualified to vote.

function payBeneficiary(uint256 proposalId)
    external
    stakeholderOnly("Unauthorized: Stakeholders only")
    returns (bool)
{
    ProposalStruct storage proposal = raisedProposals[proposalId];
    require(daoBalance >= proposal.amount, "Insufficient fund");
    require(block.timestamp > proposal.duration, "Proposal still ongoing");

    if (proposal.paid) revert("Payment sent before");

    if (proposal.upvotes <= proposal.downvotes)
        revert("Insufficient votes");

    payTo(proposal.beneficiary, proposal.amount);

    proposal.paid = true;
    proposal.executor = msg.sender;
    daoBalance -= proposal.amount;

    emit Action(
        msg.sender,
        STAKEHOLDER_ROLE,
        "PAYMENT TRANSFERED",
        proposal.beneficiary,
        proposal.amount
    );

    return true;
}

This function is responsible for paying the beneficiary attached to a proposal based on certain criteria.

• One, the beneficiary must not already be paid.
• Two, the proposal duration must have expired.
• Three, the available balance must be able to pay the beneficiary.
• Four, there must be no tie in the number of votes.

function contribute() payable external {
    if (!hasRole(STAKEHOLDER_ROLE, msg.sender)) {
        uint256 totalContribution =
            contributors[msg.sender] + msg.value;

        if (totalContribution >= 5 ether) {
            stakeholders[msg.sender] = totalContribution;
            contributors[msg.sender] += msg.value;
            _setupRole(STAKEHOLDER_ROLE, msg.sender);
            _setupRole(CONTRIBUTOR_ROLE, msg.sender);
        } else {
            contributors[msg.sender] += msg.value;
            _setupRole(CONTRIBUTOR_ROLE, msg.sender);
        }
    } else {
        contributors[msg.sender] += msg.value;
        stakeholders[msg.sender] += msg.value;
    }
    
    daoBalance += msg.value;

    emit Action(
        msg.sender,
        STAKEHOLDER_ROLE,
        "CONTRIBUTION RECEIVED",
        address(this),
        msg.value
    );
}

This function is responsible for collecting contributions from donors and those interested in becoming stakeholders.

function getProposals()
    external
    view
    returns (ProposalStruct[] memory props)
{
    props = new ProposalStruct[](totalProposals);

    for (uint256 i = 0; i < totalProposals; i++) {
        props[i] = raisedProposals[i];
    }
}

This function retrieves an array of proposals recorded on this smart contract.

function getProposal(uint256 proposalId)
    external
    view
    returns (ProposalStruct memory)
{
    return raisedProposals[proposalId];
}

This function retrieves a particular proposal by Id.

function getVotesOf(uint256 proposalId)
    external
    view
    returns (VotedStruct[] memory)
{
    return votedOn[proposalId];
}

This returns a list of votes associated with a particular proposal.

function getStakeholderVotes()
    external
    view
    stakeholderOnly("Unauthorized: not a stakeholder")
    returns (uint256[] memory)
{
    return stakeholderVotes[msg.sender];
}

This returns the list of stakeholders on the smart contract and only a stakeholder can call this function.

function getStakeholderBalance()
    external
    view
    stakeholderOnly("Unauthorized: not a stakeholder")
    returns (uint256)
{
    return stakeholders[msg.sender];
}

This returns the amount of money contributed by stakeholders.

function isStakeholder() external view returns (bool) {
    return stakeholders[msg.sender] > 0;
}

Returns True or False if a user is a stakeholder.

function getContributorBalance()
    external
    view
    contributorOnly("Denied: User is not a contributor")
    returns (uint256)
{
    return contributors[msg.sender];
}

This returns the balance of a contributor and is only accessible to the contributor.

function isContributor() external view returns (bool) {
    return contributors[msg.sender] > 0;
}

This checks if a user is a contributor or not and it is represented with True or False.

function getBalance() external view returns (uint256) {
    return contributors[msg.sender];
}

Returns the balance of the calling user regardless of his role.

function payTo(
    address to, 
    uint256 amount
) internal returns (bool) {
    (bool success,) = payable(to).call{value: amount}("");
    require(success, "Payment failed");
    return true;
}

This function performs a payment with both a specified amount and account.

Configuring the Deployment Script

One more thing to do with the smart contract is to configure the deployment script.

On the project head to the migrations folder, >> 2_deploy_contracts.js, and update it with the code snippet below.

const DominionDAO = artifacts.require('DominionDAO')
  module.exports = async function (deployer) {
  await deployer.deploy(DominionDAO)
}

Fantastic, we just finished up with the smart contract for our application, it's time to start building the Dapp interface.

Developing the Frontend

The front end comprises many components and parts. We will be creating all the components, views, and the rest of the peripherals.

Header Component

This component captures information about the current user and carries a theme toggling button for light and dark modes. And if you wondered how I did that, it was through Tailwind CSS, see the code below.

import { useState, useEffect } from 'react'
import { FaUserSecret } from 'react-icons/fa'
import { MdLightMode } from 'react-icons/md'
import { FaMoon } from 'react-icons/fa'
import { Link } from 'react-router-dom'
import { connectWallet } from '../Dominion'
import { useGlobalState, truncate } from '../store'

const Header = () => {
  const [theme, setTheme] = useState(localStorage.theme)
  const themeColor = theme === 'dark' ? 'light' : 'dark'
  const darken = theme === 'dark' ? true : false
  const [connectedAccount] = useGlobalState('connectedAccount')

  useEffect(() => {
    const root = window.document.documentElement
    root.classList.remove(themeColor)
    root.classList.add(theme)
    localStorage.setItem('theme', theme)
  }, [themeColor, theme])

  const toggleLight = () => {
    const root = window.document.documentElement
    root.classList.remove(themeColor)
    root.classList.add(theme)
    localStorage.setItem('theme', theme)
    setTheme(themeColor)
  }

  return (
    <header className="sticky top-0 z-50 dark:text-blue-500">
      <nav className="navbar navbar-expand-lg shadow-md py-2 relative flex items-center w-full justify-between bg-white dark:bg-[#212936]">

              ) : (

                  className="cursor-pointer"
                  size={25}
                  onClick={toggleLight}
                />
              )}

          </div>
        </div>
      </nav>

  )
}

Banner Component

This component contains information about the DAO's current state, such as the total balance and the number of open proposals.

This component also includes the ability to use the contribute function to generate a new proposal. Look at the code below.

import { useState } from 'react'
import { setGlobalState, useGlobalState } from '../store'
import { performContribute } from '../Dominion'
import { toast } from 'react-toastify'

const Banner = () => {
  const [isStakeholder] = useGlobalState('isStakeholder')
  const [proposals] = useGlobalState('proposals')
  const [connectedAccount] = useGlobalState('connectedAccount')
  const [currentUser] = useGlobalState('currentUser')
  const [balance] = useGlobalState('balance')
  const [mybalance] = useGlobalState('mybalance')
  const [amount, setAmount] = useState('')

  const onPropose = () => {
    if (!isStakeholder) return
    setGlobalState('createModal', 'scale-100')
  }

  const onContribute = () => {
    if (!!!amount || amount == '') return
    toast.info('Contribution in progress...')

    performContribute(amount).then((bal) => {
      if (!!!bal.message) {
        setGlobalState('balance', Number(balance) + Number(bal))
        setGlobalState('mybalance', Number(mybalance) + Number(bal))
        setAmount('')
        toast.success('Contribution received')
      }
    })
  }

  const opened = () =>
    proposals.filter(
      (proposal) => new Date().getTime() < Number(proposal.duration + '000')
    ).length

  return (

Proposals Component

This component contains a list of proposals in our smart contract. Also, enables you to filter between closed and open proposals. At the expiry of a proposal, a payout button becomes available which gives a stakeholder the option of paying out the amount associated with the proposal. See the code below.

import Identicon from 'react-identicons'
import { useState } from 'react'
import { Link } from 'react-router-dom'
import { truncate, useGlobalState, daysRemaining } from '../store'
import { payoutBeneficiary } from '../Dominion'
import { toast } from 'react-toastify'

const Proposals = () => {
  const [data] = useGlobalState('proposals')
  const [proposals, setProposals] = useState(data)

  const deactive = `bg-transparent
  text-blue-600 font-medium text-xs leading-tight
  uppercase hover:bg-blue-700 focus:bg-blue-700
  focus:outline-none focus:ring-0 active:bg-blue-600
  transition duration-150 ease-in-out overflow-hidden
  border border-blue-600 hover:text-white focus:text-white`

  const active = `bg-blue-600

  focus:outline-none focus:ring-0 active:bg-blue-800
  transition duration-150 ease-in-out overflow-hidden
  border border-blue-600`

  const getAll = () => setProposals(data)

  const getOpened = () =>
    setProposals(
      data.filter(
        (proposal) => new Date().getTime() < Number(proposal.duration + '000')
      )
    )

  const getClosed = () =>
    setProposals(
      data.filter(
        (proposal) => new Date().getTime() > Number(proposal.duration + '000')
      )
    )

  const handlePayout = (id) => {
    payoutBeneficiary(id).then((res) => {
      if (!!!res.code) {
        toast.success('Beneficiary successfully Paid Out!')
        window.location.reload()
      }
    })
  }

The Proposal Details Component

This component displays information about the current proposal, including the cost. This component allows stakeholders to accept or reject a proposal.

The proposer can form a group, and other platform users can engage in web3.0-style anonymous chat.

This component also includes a bar chart that allows you to see the ratio of acceptees to rejectees. Look at the code below.

Messages Component

With the power of CometChat SDK combined with this component, users can engage in a one-to-many chat anonymously. Contributors and stakeholders can discuss a proposal further in their decision-making process here. All users maintain their anonymity and are represented by their Identicons.

Authentication Component

This component helps you participate in the chat features. You need to create an account or login in if you’ve already signed up. By logging in, you can be able to participate in a group chat and have some anonymous talk with other participants in a proposal in a web3.0 style. See the code below.

import { FaTimes } from 'react-icons/fa'

Fantastic, let’s make sure the views are well represented…

The Home View

This view includes the header, banner, and proposals components for providing an exceptional DAO user experience. We also used the power of Tailwind CSS to achieve this look. Look at the code below.

import Banner from '../components/Banner'
import ChatLogin from '../components/ChatLogin'
import CreateProposal from '../components/CreateProposal'
import Header from '../components/Header'
import Proposals from '../components/Proposals'
const Home = () => {
  return (
    <>
      <Header />
      <Banner />
      <Proposals />
      <CreateProposal />
      <ChatLogin />
    </>
  )
}
export default Home

The Proposal View

This view couples together the header, proposal details, and voters component for rendering a smooth presentation of a singular component. See the code below.

import Header from '../components/Header'
import ProposalDetails from '../components/ProposalDetails'
import Voters from '../components/Voters'
const Proposal = () => {
  return (
    <>
      <Header />
      <ProposalDetails />
      <Voters />
    </>
  )
}
export default Proposal

The Chat View

Lastly, the chat view incorporates the header and messages component for rendering a quality chat interface. See the code below.

import { useParams, useNavigate } from 'react-router-dom'
import { useEffect, useState } from 'react'
import { getGroup } from '../CometChat'
import { toast } from 'react-toastify'
import Header from '../components/Header'
import Messages from '../components/Messages'
const Chat = () => {
  const { gid } = useParams()
  const navigator = useNavigate()
  const [group, setGroup] = useState(null)
  useEffect(() => {
    getGroup(gid).then((group) => {
      if (!!!group.code) {
        setGroup(group)
      } else {
        toast.warning('Please join the group first!')
        navigator(`/proposal/${gid.substr(4)}`)
      }
    })
  }, [gid])
  return (
    <>
      <Header />
      <Messages gid={gid} />
    </>
  )
}
export default Chat

Amazing, don’t forget to update the App.jsx file too.

The App Component Replace the App component with the code below.

import { useEffect, useState } from 'react'
import { Routes, Route } from 'react-router-dom'
import { loadWeb3 } from './Dominion'
import { ToastContainer } from 'react-toastify'
import { isUserLoggedIn } from './CometChat'
import Home from './views/Home'
import Proposal from './views/Proposal'
import Chat from './views/Chat'
import 'react-toastify/dist/ReactToastify.min.css'

const App = () => {
  const [loaded, setLoaded] = useState(false)

  useEffect(() => {
    loadWeb3().then((res) => {
      if (res) setLoaded(true)
    })
    isUserLoggedIn()
  }, [])

  return (
    <div className="min-h-screen bg-white text-gray-900 dark:bg-[#212936] dark:text-gray-300">

      {loaded ? (
        <Routes>
          <Route path="/" element={<Home />} />
          <Route path="proposal/:id" element={<Proposal />} />
          <Route path="chat/:gid" element={<Chat />} />
        </Routes>
      ) : null}

      <ToastContainer
        position="top-center"
        autoClose={5000}
        hideProgressBar={false}
        newestOnTop={false}
        closeOnClick
        rtl={false}
        pauseOnFocusLoss
        draggable
        pauseOnHover
      />
    </div>
  )
}
export default App

On the src, >> directory paste the following codes in their respective files.

Starting Up the Development Environment

STEP 1: Spin up some test account with ganache-cli using the command below:

ganache-cli -a

This will create some test accounts with 100 fake ethers loaded into each account, of course, these are for testing purposes only. See the image below:

STEP 2: Add a local test network with Metamask as seen in the image below.

STEP 3: Click on the account icon and select import account.

Copy about five of the private keys and add them one after the other to your local test network. See the image below.

Observe the new account added to your local test network with 100 ETH preloaded. Make sure you add about five accounts so you can do a maximum test. See the image below.

Smart Contract Deployment

Now open a new terminal and run the command below.

truffle migrate
# or 
truffle migrate --network rinkeby

The above command will deploy your smart contract to your local or the Infuria rinkeby test network.

Next, open up another terminal and spin up the react app with yarn start.

Conclusion

Hurray, we’ve just completed an amazing tutorial for developing a decentralized autonomous organization.

If you enjoyed this tutorial and would like to have me as your private mentor, kindly book your classes with me.

Till next time, all the best.
