Where DAO Sentinel
is heading.
What we shipped, what we're wiring up now, and the multi-year arc — from a free Snapshot watchdog to the canonical transparency layer for on-chain governance.
Foundation· shipped
Snapshot data pipeline
Proposals and votes for the top 50 DAOs ingested every 5 minutes via Snapshot GraphQL hub. 3,000+ votes already in the index.
Democracy Score (0-100)
Gini-based power distribution + 4 more axes (turnout, proposal diversity, delegate accountability, manipulation resistance). Recomputed daily, history archived.
AI plain-English summaries
Gemini 2.5 Flash via OpenRouter explains every proposal in 3-5 sentences with impact + risk level. Cost ~$0.0001 per proposal.
Whale & swing detection
Real-time alerts for >5% VP single-wallet votes, last-minute swings, quorum risks, and coordinated voting patterns.
Cross-DAO delegate tracker
1,400+ delegate profiles with cross-DAO participation, ENS resolution, and response time metrics.
Live SSE alert feed
Postgres LISTEN/NOTIFY → Server-Sent Events → browser. Whale alerts ping the orbital hero feed within a second of detection.
Distribution· now
Magic-link login (Resend)

Monetization· Q3 2026
Stripe subscriptions
Delegate Pro $99/mo (1K API calls + real-time alerts + watchlists). Fund Suite $399/mo (10K API calls + portfolio dashboard).
DAO treasury watchlists
Premium feature: monitor every DAO where you hold tokens, get cross-portfolio governance digest.
Voting-power simulator
"If I delegate 100k tokens to address X, how often would my position swing the vote?" — historical replay against the last 12 months.
Public-good grant applications
Arbitrum LTIPP, Optimism RetroPGF, ENS Public Goods, Gitcoin. Target: $50–150K Year-1 funding.
Scale· Q4 2026
On-chain governance (Tally)
Tally Governor contracts on Ethereum + L2s. Currently Snapshot-only. ~20% more DAOs unlock once on-chain ingest is live.
Coordinated voting clustering

Delegate scorecards
Individual delegate report cards: consistency, response time, voting bloc affiliation. Embeddable, shareable.

Foundation-treasury tracking
Sister product for ecosystem foundations and DAO LLCs — extends watchdog mission beyond on-chain DAOs.
