What is DAO DAO?
DAO DAO is the underlying governance and permission system that powers organizations and collaborative projects in the Regen App.
When you create an organization, it is represented on-chain as a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization). Likewise, every project created within an organization also becomes a DAO. This enables teams to manage members, permissions, and funds collectively and transparently on-chain.
However, if you create a project under a single user account — not linked to an organization — that project does not become a DAO. It remains managed solely by that user, either on or off-chain, until it’s later associated with an organization.
The Regen App provides a simple interface for managing your organization and projects, while DAO DAO provides the on-chain infrastructure that ensures security, transparency, and shared ownership.
Why DAO DAO?
DAO DAO ensures that every collaborative action in the Regen ecosystem is secure, transparent, and role-based. It powers all organization and project DAOs behind the scenes, enabling:
Collective ownership of assets (credits, tokens, NFTs)
Role-based permission management (RBAM)
On-chain execution of standard operations without requiring votes
Optional governance tools for major organizational decisions
In other words: ➡️ Regen App makes it easy for you to manage your team and projects. ➡️ DAO DAO ensures that everything happens securely and transparently on-chain.

How the Two Work Together
You can think of it like this:
The Regen App is your main workspace — where you create organizations, manage projects, invite team members, and handle credits.
DAO DAO is the underlying on-chain system — it ensures that everything your organization and its projects do is transparent, verifiable, and collectively managed.
If you’re part of an organization, you can always open your DAO directly in the DAO DAO app to explore proposals, governance settings, and treasury management.
Projects created under your personal account are not part of a DAO until you associate them with an organization, at which point they gain DAO capabilities automatically.
