A simple, decentralized, evolvable, and 100% secure governance system written in Solidity to run on the Ethereum blockchain.
We are on a mission to foster and support our collective Guild of talented, technical, and tolerant entrepreneurs by engaging the wisdom of the crows in a way which only blockchains allow.
We will prepare for our first wave of Member Recruitment by producing a suite of business-class interfaces geared to collectively manage, design and implement profitable projects.
in a way that is as fun as playing with a group of your favorite adventurers and as intuitive as progressing through a quest's task list.
GuiledWorx builds upon the DAO construct.
A DAO is an organization that's self-governing and not influenced by outside forces: its software operates on its own, with its by-laws immutably written on the blockchain, not controlled by its creators. DAOs are formed by groups of like-minded individuals with specific projects and goals in mind.
Would-be participants in the DAO can for a period of time acquire DAO tokens, in this case named 'Lateral' by sending Ether to the DAO. These tokens will give them the right to vote on business decisions (proportional to the number of tokens acquired) as well the opportunity to receive the rewards generated by the products and services built on the DAO's behalf by the Service Provider.
A DAO purely manages funds: in itself it does not have the capabilities to build a product, write code or develop hardware. It requires a Service Provider for this purpose, which it hires by signing off on a proposal. This proposal is written in plain English and backed by smart contract defining the relationship between the DAO and its Service Provider: deliverables, responsibilities and operating parameters. All discussions around proposals take place off-chain on a service chosen by the DAO's community.
While the Service Provider is bound by the term of the proposal, the DAO participants can elect to ‘pull the plug’ on the Service Provider at anytime if they feel they are not getting their money’s worth. This is a major advantage over the Kickstarter or 'pre-sale' models as it considerably minimizes risk.
It is also possible for the DAO to elect a replacement Service Provider, meaning that the project can continue where it left off. In essence, by decoupling finance from operations this DAO model survives where other means of funding would have failed.
The incentive to the DAO will take the form of revenue generated through the product and services built by its Service Providers, effectively creating a symbiotic relationship between the two.
This DAO model is open source under the LGPL, so it can be reused by anyone wishing to put together a transparent organization where governance and decision making system are immutably programmed in the Blockchain.

Generic contract for a Decentralized Autonomous Organisation (DAO) to manage a trust
Defines the functions to check token balances, send tokens, send tokens on behalf of a 3rd party and its corresponding approval process.
Token Sale contract, used by the DAO to raise its funding goal
Sample Proposal from a Service Provider to the DAO
Basic account, managed by another contract
This contract is used as a fall back in case an exchange doesn't implement the "add data to a transaction" feature in a timely manner, preventing it from calling buyTokenProxy().
