Open Source • Community Driven • AI Enhanced

Welcome to DAHAO

The first self-improving governance system where communities democratically evolve their rules with AI assistance

Phase 1: Building governance foundations. No tokens or investment required - just ideas and participation!

The Core Innovation

Self-Improving Governance

Rules that can change their own rules. The system learns and evolves through democratic consensus.

Human-AI Collaboration

Personal AI represents your values. System AI ensures compliance. Together, better decisions.

Fork-Friendly Evolution

Disagree? Fork and improve. Best innovations merge back. Dissent drives progress.

How DAHAO Works

Four Layers of Governance

1
Terms: Living definitions (e.g., "harm" v1.2)
2
Principles: Values using terms
3
Rules: How the system operates
4
Meta-Rules: How to change rules

Democratic Evolution Process

Propose: Anyone can suggest improvements
Discuss: Community + AI analyze together
Vote: Democratic decision making
Evolve: System improves itself

AI Agent System

Personal AI Agents

Your AI agent represents YOUR complete value system, including personal extensions and modifications.

  • Uses your governance branch
  • Applies your custom values
  • Provides personalized analysis
  • Future: Earn tokens for contributions
System AI Agents

System agents ensure objective compliance using only baseline DAHAO governance.

  • No personal modifications
  • Objective validation only
  • Ensures consistency
  • Maintains system integrity

Coming Soon: You'll be able to connect your OpenAI or Claude API key to enable AI-powered governance analysis. Personal AI agents will help you understand and participate in governance decisions.

Personal Governance Branches with MCP Orchestration

Your Governance Laboratory + Multi-Service Orchestration

Create personal branches that not only customize governance but orchestrate multiple AI services. Each Rule becomes a powerful workflow engine connecting any MCP-enabled service.

Core Capabilities:

  • Connect unlimited MCP servers per Rule
  • Orchestrate complex multi-service workflows
  • Dynamic tool discovery and adaptation
  • Automatic rate limiting and cost management
  • Security scoping for safe experimentation

Connect External Services

DAHAO integrates with services through MCP (Model Context Protocol) and other emerging standards. Currently, many companies are creating MCP servers as their primary way to enable LLM integration.

Why MCP? It's becoming the standard for AI-service communication. Companies build MCP servers so their tools can talk to Claude, ChatGPT, and other LLMs seamlessly.

More services are adding MCP support daily as it becomes the de facto standard for AI integration.

Example: AI Safety Research Validation Rule
Rule: "AI Safety Paper Review"@3.0.0
MCP Connections: {
  "arxiv": "@modelcontextprotocol/arxiv",
  "search": "@modelcontextprotocol/server-brave-search",
  "gpt4-analysis": "@modelcontextprotocol/openai"
  "claude-verify": "@modelcontextprotocol/claude",
  "github": "@modelcontextprotocol/server-github"
}

Workflow Steps:

1Fetch paper metadata from ArXiv
2Check citations via Semantic Scholar
3Parallel AI analysis (GPT-4 + Claude)
4Search for reproduction code on GitHub
5Compile comprehensive report
Branch-Specific MCP Authorization

Each branch can authorize different MCP servers with custom limits:

Climate Data API
Unlimited
Carbon Calculator
1000/month
Satellite Imagery
Approval Required
Cost & Rate Limit Management

Built-in budget controls and smart fallbacks:

OpenAI Budget
Max: 50k tokens / $10 per run
Fallback: Local model
API Rate Limiting
Auto-throttle enabled
Queue excess requests

The Power of Composition

Your Rules aren't just simple if-then statements - they're full orchestration engines that can coordinate any service with an MCP interface.

Unlimited Connections

Connect to any number of MCP servers

Intelligent Orchestration

Handle failures, cache results, manage costs

Secure by Design

Scoped permissions for safe experimentation

Current Focus: Building Foundation

Four Layers of Governance

Define Terms

Creating shared vocabulary that evolves democratically

Set Principles

Establishing values that guide all decisions

Create Rules

Building operational requirements that work

Enable Evolution

Making the system self-improving
