Free resource-side service
DAO.top helps serious DAOs become easier to understand and easier to work with.
DAO.top's resource-side product is free for DAO teams: source-linked profiles, official governance links, grant/RFP/needs entries, correction paths, and clear participation routes.
DAO teams do not pay to rank higher, hide risk, or rewrite public facts. They can claim, correct, and clarify their own public profile and needs board entries.
Why a DAO would participate
Better contributors, fewer low-quality approaches
- Give outside contributors one trusted place to understand official links and governance routes.
- Show grants, RFPs, working groups, accepted proposal paths, and service needs clearly.
- Reduce random cold messages by telling outsiders what is useful and what is not.
- Maintain source-first transparency: claimed, unclaimed, stale, missing, or disputed.
Two-sided model
Free for DAO resource side, paid for market-entry side
DAO teams get free clarity
- Verified profile and official source map.
- Needs / grants / RFP board entry.
- Correction and claim workflow.
External teams pay for actionability
- Which DAOs are worth approaching.

- Market Entry Radar, API, and custom pilot reports.
Trust rule
- No pay-to-rank.
- No paid risk hiding.
- DAO-submitted needs must be marked as claimed or source-listed.
