DAOhaus enables users to add capabilities of DAOs to their own projects without having to worry about complexities of writing smart contracts or building dapps. You can launch a DAO via DAOhaus in a few clicks! DAO Summoning is the act of creating or forming a DAO. The term is typically used in the context of forming a new Moloch DAO, though it can also reference the formation of any new DAO. The first Moloch DAO to be summoned was MolochDAO, summoned by Ameen Soleimani on February 14th, 2019 at ETHDenver. All key infrastructure required for a new DAO can be deployed in a matter of seconds, and multiple tools already exist that make summoning a new DAO possible with just a few clicks. The use of “summon” in the context of forming a new DAO is an expression of the urgency of calling on a community to form around a shared purpose or common values, as well as a dedication to the fundamental DAO ethos of distributed and collective ownership. In contrast, the formation of traditional companies and organizations – which are typically neither community-driven nor community-owned – is marked by more utilitarian terms like “create,” “start,” or “fund”. DAO Summoning also refers to the act of assembling new members in a new DAO. A “DAO Summoner” will call on individuals to join the DAO, assembling the first cohort of members within a new DAO. In the initial versions of the Moloch DAO framework, the DAO Summoner was the only initial member of the new DAO, which led to the need for actively assembling new members. In versions 2.1 and later, a new DAO can be summoned with multiple other initial members; this is known as “multi-summoning.” DAOs impose little requirements on members and are inherently flexible, stretching to meet the needs of many "types" of value aligned contributors. Members of a DAO have complete sovereignty over how they participate, and DAOs promote autonomy in the way of their underlying structural composition, where in legacy organizations power is concentrated and heirarchical, in a DAO power is coordinated and flat, making contributions dynamic and fluid. In a DAO, individuals are accountable to the organization itself and the DAO resists outside capture and control. Members of the DAO are responsible for themselves first and foremost, but accountability is decentralized across the DAO based on the coordinated ownership of the organization. Individuals of the DAO have the power to select their own governance policies before summoning! DAOs can be anything from a simple school club where money is pooled from individuals to purchase pizza, to a complex company that can exist as a DAO, selling products or services in exchange for cryptocurrency. DAOs are inexpensive to create on a side-chain or L2, and we've made it easy to Summon your DAO in just a few clicks!

This type of DAO does more than imbue a sense of ownership for contributors, it puts ownership directly into the hands of those who create value! DAOhaus DAOs operate ontop of [MolochV2](https://medium.com/raid-guild/moloch-evolved-v2-primer-25c9cdeab455), which will soon be outgrown by [Moloch v3 (Baal)](). The novel mechanic that Moloch introduced is **ragequit**, allowing any member to exit shares/loot and retrieve pro-rata their assets held in the DAO treasury. DAOhaus DAOs distribute ownership to their members through share issuance, many DAOs encourage a combination of earning and pledging tribute for shares in their organization, and ulike other DAOs, in MolochV2 there is no method for shares to be purchased or transferred from one address to another, making it so members can only receive shares through vote. Membership is not required to participate or contribute in many DAOs, however, each DAO has (or doesn't have) it's own set of policies to help enforce DAO membership. ![](https://i.imgur.com/0NxYYRX.png) So how do you contribute to a DAO? Contributing to a DAO can look very different depending on the type of DAO and underlying mechanics that give structure to the organization, not to mention the cultural and social elements that underpin relationships between members. And choosing which DAO you want to contribute to can be a daunting task, but it is all made easier when you start! Here are some considerations for prospective DAO contributors: 1.
