Intro to Collab19: NodeRed based DAO Ops bot system

Spin up your own Aragon DAO system inside of telegram using Abridged account contracts and an Aragon DAO framework! See the Research Collective Bot here as an example of what to anticipate: https://t.me/ResearchCollectiveBot

The Collab19 DAO template uses Node-Red, an open source visual development environment.

Web3 components include Aragon OS for the decentralized organization and the Abridged SDK for the Ethereum account and transactions. See the docs here and find an interface for the SDK here

Pre-requisites (30 mins)

1. Make sure you are running a supported version of node.js.

2. Use this link to create a decentralized organization with Aragon. Use the "Company Template".

3. You will need an Airtable account to manage the DAO userbase, and you will need to create a bot in Telegram.

4. An AWS account is necessary to encrypt user private keys.

Step 1: Download Node-Red (5 mins)

We recommend you run an instance locally first.

For Mac:

sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-red

For Windows:

npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-red

Step 2: Download or Clone repo (2 mins)

git clone https://github.com/abridged/dao-help.git

cd <cloned repo root folder path>

npm install

Start node red using command below

node-red  --userDir <cloned repo root folder path>

Once running, go to: http://localhost:1880

Step 3: Configure and Cusomize (30 min - 1 hr)

See the Config tutorial videos below!

API Key Explanations and Links Read more about the different API keys needed here.

• Telegram Bot API - creating your own telegram bot is extremely easy, just find @BotFather and press start.
• DAO Configuration - you need the DAO URL, voting app contract, vault/agent contract, finance app contract, DAO token contract, and the PK of the token premined address.
• AWS IAM - create a key to administer the KMS system
• AWS KMS - this is how we store the private key for users' Ethereum accounts
• Wyre Account ID - if you want to onboard using Wyre, make an account!
