# near-multicall testing guide [TOC] ## What's a DAO? Near-multicall is a tool that serves DAOs, so we'll start by explaining DAOs first. **DAO** stands for **D**ecentralized **A**utonomous **O**rganization, and is essentially a blockchain account governed by a group of people using rules set by a smart contract. A member can propose to do something, like "Donate 10 $NEAR to charity" or "Buy this NFT for 1 $NEAR". Other DAO members can vote "yes" or "no". If the proposal successfully passes voting, then this is where the true value of DAOs shines: members don't have to trust a person to correctly execute the proposal actions. Instead the smart contract does it, which makes the process trustless. We put emphasis on code and smart contracts, but luckily you don't have to be a coder to make a DAO, there are projects that allow you to create your own DAO in few clicks: [SputnikDAO](https://v2.sputnik.fund/#/) and [AstroDAO](https://astrodao.com/) are such examples on NEAR protocol. ## What's near-multicall? Near-multicall is a tool for DAOs to create and execute arbitrary actions in one single proposal. Example: a DAO has $USD tokens and wants to buy NFTs, which are listed for $NEAR tokens. Currently the DAO will have to make a proposal for each step: 1. Exchange $USD tokens for $wNEAR tokens 2. convert $wNEAR to $NEAR 3. Buy the NFT The DAO members will have to agree and vote 3 times, even though all steps serve one purpose (to buy the NFT). With Near-multicall this can be done in one proposal. With this test sprint, we'd like to know about bugs or feature suggestions to improve our UX. You can submit feedback [**here**](https://github.com/near-multicall/ui/issues/new/choose). Additionally for curious developers: we have a bug bounty on [our contracts](https://github.com/near-multicall/contracts) of up to 100 $NEAR for each critical issue that leads to: stealing or permanent freezing of funds by non-admins, or non-admins triggering any malicious logic on behalf of the contract. Other critical issues can be eligible and will be reviewed on case-by-case basis. ## Setting up near-multicall #### (a) Create a DAO: For the purpose of this guide, we'll be using SputnikDAO on testnet: 1. Get a NEAR testnet wallet: https://wallet.testnet.near.org/ 2. Go to: https://testnet-v2.sputnik.fund/#/ 3. Sign in with the wallet you created: ![](https://i.imgur.com/P3IkSxP.png) 4. Click "create new DAO": ![](https://i.imgur.com/Gj8J6Zg.png) 5. Fill out DAO info: ![](https://i.imgur.com/S4IdaeL.png) In the above picture: - **Name**: This also determines the DAO address. If we choose "my-test-dao" as DAO name, then DAO address will be "my-test-dao.sputnikv2.testnet". This address works like a normal NEAR account: you can send funds to the DAO from your wallet, the DAO can interact with platforms on NEAR such as Paras or Ref-finance and it can hold several tokens as well as NFTs. - **Purpose**: any text works here, it does not affect how the DAO will work. - **Council member**: Your testnet wallet address goes here. This makes you the first member in the DAO. - **Amount to tranfer**: This is the aomunt of $NEAR tokens you'll be giving to the DAO upon its creation. We suggest 20. 6. Click submit and confirm the transaction: Upon success you'll find your DAO page by modifying the following link to have its address: https://testnet-v2.sputnik.fund/#/DAO_ADDRESS for example: https://testnet-v2.sputnik.fund/#/my-test-dao.sputnikv2.testnet we'll use the DAO page to create and vote on proposals, so leave it open on a separate browser tab to use it later. 7. Done! :confetti_ball: ::: info :round_pushpin:**Note:** If you need assistance with this step, please reach out in [**LNC Telegram**](https://t.me/LearnNEARClub) or [**near-multicall discord**](https://discord.gg/wc6T6bPvdr) ::: #### (b) Get a near-multicall instance for your DAO: 1. Go to https://multicall.app/ and login with your wallet. 2. Enter the full DAO address in the DAO selector field: ![](https://i.imgur.com/ObGGPWV.png) Always make sure your DAO address is there during all tests. 3. Create a multicall instance for your DAO: ![](https://i.imgur.com/2cWznPT.gif) 4. go to DAO page (section (a) step 6): you should find a proposal that says: "create multicall instance for this DAO at ...". Vote "yes" on this proposal. 5. go back to https://multicall.app/#/dao and enter DAO address in DAO selector again (like step 2). If you see the following then setup was successful :confetti_ball: ![](https://i.imgur.com/UgC1Mea.png) :beetle: Seen any bugs? report [<u>**HERE**</u>](https://airtable.com/shrvUuMJzaV5c39zo) :bulb: Got a suggestion? please use this [<u>**FORM**</u>](https://airtable.com/shreafKyfPcI17IyC) ## Create proposals with multicall - First proposal will mint 2 tokens In this test we're going to mint some $USDC and $DAI. If successful, the tokens will appear on your testnet wallet. Let's start: 1. go to: https://multicall.app/#/app 2. enter the DAO address: ![](https://i.imgur.com/ObGGPWV.png) 3. Let's use our first card: ![](https://i.imgur.com/rEfWSDM.gif) 4. fill card information with the following: Contract address: `nusdc.ft-fin.testnet` Function name: `mint` Function arguments (!!! replace YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS): ```json { "account_id": "YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS", "amount": "123456789" } ``` Allocated gas: choose a number between 7 and 10. (i.e. `7.5 Tgas`) Attached deposit: `0 yocto` ![](https://i.imgur.com/wEFKBxm.png) 5. Second card: So the previous card was for minting tokens, the second card is just a trick for the wallet to display our token balances Contract address: `nusdc.ft-fin.testnet` Function name: `ft_transfer` Function arguments (!!! replace YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS): ```json { "receiver_id": "YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS", "amount": "123456789" } ``` Allocated gas: choose a number between 7 and 10. (i.e. `7.5 Tgas`) Attached deposit: `0 yocto` ![](https://i.imgur.com/X5EZbD9.png) 6. Mint a second token: In steps 4 & 5 we worked on cards that will mint $USDC, so now let's do the same for a second token $USDT. The UI has a "clone" feature so we don't repeat the work all over again. On the new cards we just change the address from `nusdc.ft-fin.testnet` to `nusdt.ft-fin.testnet` ![](https://i.imgur.com/voDbySF.gif) 7. Almost done! we just have to propose our multicall to the DAO ![](https://i.imgur.com/cKDU1yl.png) 8. go to DAO page and vote yes on the proposal: ![](https://i.imgur.com/qq1pnI8.png) 7. Done! Can you see the tokens on your wallet? If you do, congrats, you did it! :confetti_ball: :beetle: Seen any bugs? report [<u>**HERE**</u>](https://airtable.com/shrvUuMJzaV5c39zo) :bulb: Got a suggestion? please use this [<u>**FORM**</u>](https://airtable.com/shreafKyfPcI17IyC) --- If you made it this far, thank you!

Job bond

A job bond can refer to a type of contract that is used to perform specific tasks or contribute to a particular project or platform. When submitting proposals to SputnikDAO, it is necessary to provide a proposal bond as a form of payment. As a means of preventing spam, the proposal bond is utilized by SputnikDAO. Advantages of Proposal bond Preventing spam: Requiring a proposal bond helps to prevent spam proposals from being submitted. The proposal bond also encourages proposal creators to take their proposals seriously, as they are required to make a financial commitment. The proposal bond helps to ensure that only high-quality proposals are submitted, which can improve the decision-making process and the overall effectiveness of the DAO. Generating revenue: The funds from the proposal bond can be used to support the operations of the DAO, such as paying for administrative expenses or funding future proposals.

Token Whitelist

In order to understand how token whitelisting works, we need to understand the basics first. What is token whitelisting? A whitelist is a list of approved tokens, and any token not on this list will not be allowed to access the system, network, or application in question. In short, token whitelisting is a security measure that is used to restrict access to a system, network, or application to only those tokens that have been specifically approved, or whitelisted. How does token whitelisting work on Near-multicall? In some cases, DAOs have to create multiple proposals to execute a task, for e.g.

Jobs

Jobs! a way for DAOs on Near Protocol to add scheduling to proposals. In short DAO users can allow proposal to perform on their own according to their schedule. Why we need Jobs for DAO proposals? DAO proposals are a way for members of a DAO to collectively make decisions about the direction of the organisation, and to ensure that the organization is run in a transparent and decentralised manner. Usually, DAO proposals go through a voting cycle once the voting period :clock1: is over, the proposal gets executed automatically.

Import from Proposal

A DAO proposal is a suggestion or proposal put forth to the members of a DAO for them to vote on and potentially implement. These proposals can be for a variety of actions such as allocating funds for a specific project or changing the governance structure of the DAO Visualize multicall proposals Now, you can view your multicall proposals using a proposal link, in order to do that just copy the proposal link from AstroDao and paste into one of our dialog button as shown in the GIF :arrow_heading_down: The reason why we need to visualize them with multicall is to review multicall DAO proposals before voting on them until now users had to go through the JSON arguments, use base64 decoding to review the proposal, but now the UI will save them the time and effort for that. Screenshot of a multicall proposal on AstroDAO :arrow_heading_down: While, viewing proposals there are few usecases:books: for DAO users.
