Creating Proposals

On Rayze, proposals are the foundation of decentralized governance and capital coordination. Any DAO member can create a proposal to suggest actions, allocate funds, or update governance settings. Proposals automate decision-making through on-chain voting and execution via smart contracts — ensuring full transparency and trustless execution.

1. Add member

• Navigate to your DAO dashboard and select Create Proposal → Add Member.

• Enter the wallet address of the user you wish to add.

• The wallet must be connected on Rayze for the proposal to execute successfully.

• Once submitted, other members can review and vote on the proposal.

If approved, the new member will automatically gain access to the DAO and its governance tools.

2. Remove member

• Navigate to your DAO dashboard and select Create Proposal → Remove Member.

• Select the member you wish to remove.

• Confirm the reason or context for removal in the proposal description (e.g., inactivity, voluntary exit, or rule violation).

• Once submitted, the proposal will enter the voting phase for other members to review and approve.

If approved, the user will automatically lose access to the DAO and its associated governance rights. If the member contributed funds to the DAO treaury, their funds are not automatically disbursed.

3. Transfer

Transfer Proposals allow DAOs to send funds from their treasury to any wallet or contract address securely and transparently. They’re used to pay contributors, cover expenses, or invest off-platform — with every transaction recorded on-chain through the DAO’s Safe treasury.

How It Works

When approved, the DAO’s Safe executes an on-chain token transfer to the address specified in the proposal. This action moves funds but does not automatically perform a trade, swap, or deposit.

If sent to a member’s wallet, it functions as a payment or reimbursement.

If sent to an external wallet, it can be used to manually execute an investment.

If sent to a smart contract, the tokens are deposited, but only trigger additional actions if that contract is designed to auto-execute.

Example: A DAO votes to transfer 1,000 tUSDC to its executor wallet to buy WETH on Uniswap. The transfer is completed automatically; the swap happens manually on the DEX.

Key Points

• Secure: All transfers require DAO approval and multi-signature execution.

• Transparent: Every transfer is recorded on-chain for full visibility.

• Flexible: Supports internal payments, off-platform investments, or future automated integrations.

In future versions, Rayze will enable DAOs to directly interact with DEXs and tokenized projects, allowing full investment execution directly from a single proposal.

4. Invest

Investment proposals allow DAO members to deploy treasury funds into projects listed on Rayze. These proposals represent the core mechanism for on-chain investing and milestone-based funding.

• Navigate to your DAO dashboard and select Create Proposal → Investment.

• Select the Rayze Project you wish to invest in.

• Specify the amount your DAO intends to contribute (e.g., in tUSDC on testnet).

• Provide a description outlining the purpose or rationale for the investment.

• Submit the proposal for community voting and approval.

Once approved, the investment is executed on-chain through the DAO’s Safe (Gnosis Safe) treasury.

Note: During the Rayze Beta, investments do not distribute project tokens or equity. In future versions, projects listed on Rayze will be tokenized investment opportunities, enabling DAOs to receive on-chain assets that represent their stake in the project.

5. Update minimum approvals

The Update Minimum Approvals proposal allows DAO members to adjust the governance threshold — the minimum number of approvals required for a proposal to pass. This ensures that DAO decision-making scales responsibly as membership changes.

• Navigate to your DAO dashboard and select Create Proposal → Update Minimum Approvals.

• Enter the new minimum number of approvals required for proposals to be executed.

• Provide a brief reason for the adjustment (e.g., membership growth or governance restructure).

• Submit the proposal for voting.

• Once approved, the change takes effect immediately for all future proposals.

Notes: In Beta, all votes use a multisig governance model, meaning each wallet equals one vote. In future releases, DAOs will be able to choose between multisig or token-voting governance structures, providing flexibility for different community types and capital models.

It’s recommended to set your minimum approval threshold to a simple majority (more than half of members) and review it regularly as your DAO’s membership changes to maintain balanced and efficient governance.
