# Stellar Development Foundation DAOIP-5 Adoption
The Stellar Development Foundation publishes an `attestationURI` through a GitHub Gist on the Stellar GitHub Organization. This attestation links to the `entityURI` of the Stellar Community Fund, which is the decision-making body responsible for allocating awards to projects. While the Stellar Development Foundation handles payments, the Stellar Community Fund governs the allocation decisions. This attestation is structured in alignment with DAOIP-3, and the Stellar Community Fund also publishes grant metadata following [DAOIP-5](https://github.com/metagov/daostar/blob/main/DAOIPs/daoip-5.md).
The `entityURI` is hosted in the eip4824 GitHub repository: [eip4824 stellar branch](https://github.com/metagov/eip4824/tree/stellar).

Here’s the updated section with the steps to clone only the `stellar` branch:
## Requirements for Adoption
1. **Clone the `stellar` branch of the `eip4824` repository**
- [ ] To ensure the Stellar Development Foundation has control, clone the `stellar` branch by using the following command:
```bash
git clone --single-branch --branch stellar https://github.com/metagov/eip4824.git
```
2. **Publish the `AttestationURI`**
- [ ] Log in to the Stellar Organization GitHub account.
- [ ] Create a public gist with the filename `attestationURI.json`.
- [ ] Update the link for `entityURI` to point to the `eip4824` repository under the Stellar Organization.
- [ ] Add the `AttestationURI` JSON schema.
- [ ] Add the description:
> DAOIP-5 Attestation: [DAOIP-5 Document](https://github.com/metagov/daostar/blob/main/DAOIPs/daoip-5.md)

- [ ] Publish the gist.
- [ ] Edit the published gist to add the `attestationURI`, setting its value as the raw link to the newly published gist.
