The Star Atlas DAO operates through a set of on-chain programs deployed on the Solana blockchain, forming the foundation of its decentralized governance system. These programs work together to enable voting, proposal management, token locking, and reward distribution.
Here’s an overview of the five core components:
Goki Protocol – Smart Wallet (Multisig Control)
Program:GokiProtocol/goki
The Smart Wallet is an m-of-n multisig used to securely execute any transaction on Solana. It acts as the DAO's executor, allowing it to:
Deploy or upgrade other programs
Manage token mints and treasury assets
Interact with external DeFi apps and protocols
Eventually, interact with Star Atlas on-chain programs (not yet enabled)
This wallet is the backbone of decentralized control, allowing secure, multi-party execution of governance decisions.
Tribeca Governor – Proposal Management
Program:Tribeca/governor
The Governor handles the proposal lifecycle within the DAO:
Anyone can submit a proposal
Only eligible POLIS Voting Power (PVP) holders can activate it
Once active, the community can vote on the proposal
If it reaches quorum and a majority of PVP support, it can be queued for execution via the Smart Wallet
This system ensures that all critical decisions go through transparent community consensus.
Tribeca Locked Voter – Voting Power Logic
Program:Tribeca/locked-voter
This module defines how POLIS Voting Power (PVP) is calculated:
Users lock POLIS tokens for a set period
PVP is determined by the amount locked and lock duration
PVP decays linearly over time
POLIS cannot be withdrawn before the lock expires
This incentivizes long-term commitment to governance.
Snapshot – Historical Data & Rewards
Program:Sabre/snapshot
The Snapshot module stores historical data about voting power:
Captures balances and lock states at specific points in time
Enables accurate reward distribution
Prevents manipulation by locking or unlocking tokens mid-cycle
This program is essential for calculating POLIS rewards in the locker and ensuring fair DAO participation tracking
Gate – DAO Operations Hub
Program:ATMTA/gate
The Gate is the primary interface connecting users to DAO operations. It serves several key functions:
Facilitates staking and voting interactions with the
locked-voterprogramSyncs snapshot data
Calculates and distributes POLIS rewards
Proxies proposal submissions and voting via the
governor
In essence, Gate is the orchestrator of DAO logic, tying all components together for a seamless governance experience.
