How to create iDAO

How to create iDAO and register the iDAO to the LazAI network

Creating an iDAO empowers individuals to lead a community around specific AI use cases (e.g., niche datasets, custom models, or industry-specific workflows). The process is streamlined to minimize technical barriers:

1. Define Your iDAO’s Scope:

   • Choose a focus area (e.g., “fitness wearables data for health AI” or “game character dialogue datasets”).

   • Outline core rules: data privacy policies (e.g., “no personally identifiable information”), reward structure (shareRatio for contributors), and governance thresholds (e.g., “60% vote approval for policy changes”).

2. Set Up Infrastructure:

   • On-Chain Registration: Deploy a smart contract via the LazAI dashboard, which auto-generates a unique iDAO ID. The contract includes:

     • Metadata (name, description, scope) stored on IPFS (with a hash anchored to LazChain).

     • Default governance rules (editable via future member votes).

   • Off-Chain Tools: Integrate with LazAI’s open-source toolkits (Alith) to set up:

     • A data storage gateway (e.g., IPFS/Arweave) for off-chain dataset hosting.

     • A TEE-enabled data evaluation, inference and training environment.

3. Assemble Your Initial Quorum:

   • Recruit 3–5 trusted individuals (or existing iDAOs) to form the initial Quorum, responsible for validating data and resolving disputes. Each Quorum member must stake a minimum of 1,000 LAZ (LazAI’s native token) as collateral (slashed for misconduct).

   • The Quorum is registered on-chain, with their public keys linked to the iDAO’s contract.

4. Launch and Attract Members:

   • Publish your iDAO on the LazAI marketplace, highlighting its unique value (e.g., “exclusive healthcare datasets with HIPAA-aligned privacy”).

   • Offer founding member bonuses (e.g., higher shareRatio for early contributors) to attract initial participants.

5. Complete Registration:

   • Submit a registration request to LazChain’s main network. The network’s global Quorum will verify that your iDAO meets security standards (e.g., proper use of TEEs, fair governance rules) via QBFT consensus.

   • Once approved, your iDAO gains access to LazAI’s cross-chain interoperability, enabling collaboration with other iDAOs and integration into the broader DAT economy.

6. Grow and Iterate:

   • Use governance votes to adapt to member feedback (e.g., expanding into new data types).

   • Scale by merging with complementary iDAOs (via on-chain proposals) or partnering with external platforms (e.g., integrating with health apps to source more data).

By lowering barriers to participation and creation, iDAOs democratize control over AI resources, ensuring the ecosystem evolves based on individual needs rather than centralized gatekeepers. Whether joining or leading an iDAO, users retain ownership of their contributions while collectively building a more aligned, transparent AI future.
