Safety Measures for Running a DAO Operation

Following the recent BonkDAO $20M hack, Grape DAO discussed this at length and wants to share some governance safety tips. DAO calls are essential to the growth of every organization.

- Attendance
Every DAO member should be present on calls to discuss proposals before voting. Vote out any proposal that wasn't discussed on a call this protects the DAO from being blindsided by unrecognized proposals.

- Veto power
Set up a system where trusted/council members with veto power can void any unwanted or suspicious transactions.

- quorum
Should always be reviewed and increased appropriately to match with the DAO growth that way it becomes a bit difficult for one person to buy tokens from the open market and influence the decision

- Proposal
alerts Set up a alert tool in Discord so every new proposal triggers a notification, from draft state to final execution (Grape DAO can help you set this up).

- Active council members
Councils need to stay active in monitoring and protecting DAO voting activity, not just showing up to vote.

- Incentivize participation
Active rewards/incentives for council members help keep them engaged with ongoing DAO operations.

- Proposal lifecycle Proposals
should follow a clear flow: Draft - Discussed on DAO call - Approved - Initiated - Executed only after the voting stage is complete. No skipping straight from draft to execution.

- Proposal time
should be increased to five to seven days. That gives the Dao enough time to recognize malicious proposals and veto them out if need be

----
Unlike traditional companies, DAO treasuries are transparent by design which also makes them a target

DAO security becomes an everyone's responsibility because they are no "teams" to begin with . these measures are the foundation that keeps your organization from being the next exploit headline

Need help implementing any of this? Grape DAO has you covered can reach out via our DC

Alice: “hey bob did you see that scam proposal?”

Bob: “yeah, the bot pinged us seconds after it went up”

Alice: “...so who’s gonna tell the guy who posted it that it’s already vetoed”

Grape DAO Call Recap - Sunday 8th November 2026

This was a particularly short one. We opened with the second pass for Grip and Guba emissions, which began on Tuesday's DAO call. We discussed our recent findings regarding MERIT and outlined a plan to implement the necessary corrections before the next quarter

Then @ForkedKirk updates on Grape Wallet and Grape Hub followed up shortly aftter

We then went through the price of Solana and every other asset in crypto, and what could come next.

Raffles wrapped up the call.

Grape DAO call continues today, catch you soon!

🍇Grape rewards system for active contributors

GUBA
- stable pool allocated to active contributors in the DAO. Periodically distributed based on set metrics for activities and contributions.

GRIP
- Grape token which serve as "governance power" granted to contributors captured in the GUBA pool. Strengthens alignment with the native token economy of the DAO.

MERITS
- Quarterly recognition for contributors who consistently go above and beyond in advancing the DAO.

BOUNTY
- Funding pools designed to incentivize completion of well-defined tasks of significant benefits to the DAO. Flexible and adaptable, allowing the dao to target urgent or high-priority initiatives.

join grape DAO calls for more information on the pool allocation and how the system works

[🍇 Grape Protocol @grapeprotocol]

Just in: If your governance power falls below 70%, you will not be eligible for Merit, Grape, or Guba rewards.

𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗴𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘂𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝘆 @ForkedKirk (p9):

https://t.co/7Yq1fAHgUD now has a built-in security check. Proposals from unverified authors with no OG Reputation get a "Review before voting" panel, with a button to read exactly what the proposal will run before you sign.

The UI also makes it easier for the council to review and veto.

Grape DAO Call Recap - Sunday 1st November 2026

We covered Hyperliquid's partnership with ICE, the Binance hacks and the CZ and Elon Musk banter on X.

On governance, we talked about how Grape stopped spam proposals, Kirk's new UI update that exposes them instantly and calls for more council tokens and proper criteria for council members.

Raffles wrapped up the call.

4 hacks in one day and crypto just got a security reality check

Binance hot wallets drained via EIP-7702 delegation. $2.8B left the Ethereum hot wallet in a single sweep and trackers put the total near $6.3B across chains

Polymarket front end, $2.7M
Bybit, $1B per reports circulating on social media
Ledger supply chain in SG also reported compromised

Tether and Circle froze $2.4B+ but over $1B in ETH is already out of reach. BTC slides, BNB bleeds, liquidity evaporates

Binance says user funds are safe and CZ expects everyone to be covered in full

When the biggest CEX loses control of its hot wallets, every risk premium in crypto gets repriced overnight. Classic fear cascade

Stay safu. Remember, not your keys, not your crypto

Grape DAO Call Recap - Sunday 25th October 2026

We opened with market discussion and what to look out for going into the week, alongside war updates. SOL dumped below $100 for the first time in 37 days and SUI dropped below $1, with ZEC news also coming up in the mix.

AI news took some airtime too, covering vulnerabilities and attack vectors, with calls for the community to stay safe and vigilant.

The MERIT review second pass was handled today, good progress on that front.

One of the quieter problems in DAOs is access that's too easy to pass - Sybil accounts, gaming the system for more rewards/grants

Most gates ask one question:
"Does this wallet hold the token?"

Grape Access changes the standard, shifting access control from what you hold to what you’ve actually done.

How It Works:
Account Verification Checks
Confirms real, verified account
status on-chain using cryptographic hashes. Your identity stays private without exposing raw IDs or addresses.

Wallet On-Chain Identity:
Ensures a legitimate wallet is directly linked to the verified profile, running all checks transparently.

Reputation Score:
Earned through seasonal contributions, NOT bought.
And with time-locks to ensure reputation only counts after it’s been held over time.

Integration with Governance:
Proposal creators must pass full verification and meet reputation thresholds, members need verified wallets and active reputation scores to participate,

Requires complete verification check and reputation score for proposal creators, and a higher bar for treasury related actions.

Show up. Contribute. Then propose. https://t.co/Ileu31HXFt

[🍇 Grape Protocol @grapeprotocol]

@Sarah__Baro The tools are modular, so existing DAOs can adopt what they need without overhauling their current setup. Whether it’s token-gated access, reputation, or governance, the goal is to make integration as seamless as possible.

[🍇 Grape Protocol @grapeprotocol]

Grape tools for DAO builders:

OG Reputation Spaces: Track who actually shows up, award contributors on-chain, and run seasons to reward participation however your DAO sees fit.

Grape Verification: Membership and access checks that are reputation-aware, not just token-weighted.

Grape Access: Token and credential gating for your community.

Governance by Grape: Proposals, voting, treasury management. The direct Realms equivalent, maintained by the community.

Grape Wallet (beta): Multi-chain wallet with governance and reputation built in from day one.

Grape governance discord bot: Get notified on all proposals inside of your discord as another measure for security

If you are looking to set up governance in your community come find us on Discord. We will walk through it together. 🍇

Grape DAO Call Recap - Sunday 18th October 2026

We opened with the current state of the market, analyzing the current downturn across the board ( stocks and crypto). Backpack was a standout in the sea of red, up 10% on the day.

We touched on DLMM positions on @MeteoraAG before moving into war updates (USA vs IRAN), including the France unrest and protests which are getting increasingly serious talking points includes the burning of a church over 143 years old was one of the talking points.

The second pass for the MERIT review for the quarter which kicked off on Tuesday was paused today as the the focus was the completion of GRIP and GUBA performance rewards for the previous month.

We also covered the Grape Verification update aimed at clamping down on Sybil accounts.

Then we ended with raffles

Member Grants and Voting Power:
- Track how much voting power each participant has built up based on the grants they’ve received.
- Compare total grants directly against tokens currently staked to assess member alignment with the DAO
- Set a minimum threshold requirement that members must meet to qualify for governance rewards.
- Cast and manage your votes now, at governance (dot) so

https://t.co/7Yq1fAGJ55 recently flagged a malicious proposal for Grape DAO and tagged it immediately with a HIGH risk rating, right on the proposal page.

What it caught:

🔴Author has no active Grape Verification
🔴Author has zero DAO reputation this season
🔴A token holder with no prior voting history in the DAO
🟡Treasury assets leaving DAO-controlled accounts (2 transfers, 2 assets, 1 destination)
🟡Destination wallet unverified, with zero DAO reputation
🟡No proposal description at all

Every red flag was surfaced automatically, so members didn't have to dig through raw instructions to spot it.

This is what DAO governance should look like. 🍇
