How it works



For DAO Creators

  1. Open LumosDAO.io: Navigate to the LumosDAO website.
  2. Connect Wallet: Click on the "Connect Wallet" button on the top right corner and choose from the available Stellar wallets. Hit "Connect Wallet."
  3. Home Page: After successfully connecting your wallet, you will land on the home page that displays platform stats and a list of existing DAOs.
  4. Create a DAO:
    • To set up a DAO for an existing Stellar token, enter the asset code and home domain. Make sure your connected wallet is authorized in the asset's toml file.
    • If you're issuing a new token, connect a second wallet to serve as the issuing address. Fill in the necessary details and click "Create DAO."
  5. Confirm Transaction: Confirm the blockchain transaction to create the DAO. LumosDAO will also automatically generate and host the asset's toml file.
  6. DAO Settings: After creation, you can edit the asset's toml at any time.
