APPLICATION INTRODUCTION
Name: DAOsign, LLC
Incorporated: Yes
DAOsign: Workflow Orchestration platform built on decentralized Smart Signature protocol
DAOsign is a decentralized and customizable platform where collaboration, authorization, and workflow management are facilitated through cryptographic proofs stored on a blockchain.
Smart Signature is at the core of DAOsign and is based on 3 key proofs: proof-of-identify, proof-of-authority, and proof-of-agreement. Utilizing these proofs, DAOsign provides a platform to design and configure complex workflows that combine smart-contract-based automation with authorized approvals.

TECHNICAL INTRODUCTION
DAOsign consists of two components: Smart Signature and Workflow Orchestration.
DAOsign Smart signature includes:
- Agreement (Verifiable, Cryptographic Proof-of-Agreement for Public or Private Agreements, Workstreams and Smart Contracts)
- Signer (Publicly verifiable, Signer Identity Verification)
- Authority (Verifiable Proof-of-Authority based on Non-transferable, revocable Signer Authority NFT)

TOTAL BUDGET AND FUNDING TIER
Grant Tier: 3
Grant Size: $25 000
Justification: We have analyzed how many developers we need to fulfill this grant, how long it will take and how many resources. The grant amount is negotiable… We are always happy to discuss the amount on a call, and are quite flexible in this.
CURRENT FUNCTIONALITY
Problem: Outdated Electronic Signatures Technologies
Traditional electronic signatures lack security and transparency, susceptible to compromise and forgery, with no unified system for robust verification.
Solution: DAOsign Smart Signature
DAOsign introduces cryptographic, decentralized signature standard, a technologically advanced alternative to traditional e-signatures, leveraging the security and transparency of blockchain. This technology aims to establish a global standard for secure and verifiable digital signatures, ensuring integrity across borders, legal jurisdictions, and administrative systems.
Problem: High Cost and Absence of WEB3 Workflow Management
Many businesses and DAOs face the challenge of high costs associated with workflow orchestration and automation. Additionally, there is a notable absence of a universal WEB3 platform for efficient and cost-effective workflow management tailored for the decentralized landscape
Solution: DAOsign Workflow Orchestration Platform
DAOsign introduces configurable workflows, that merge legal contracts with automation and controls tailored to organization policies, facilitated by DAOsign Smart Signature.
Currently, DAOsign is on the Testnet: https://testnet.daosign.org/connect. DAOsign already allows users to store their proofs on the IPFS. Apart from that we have available blockchains for proof storing such as Ethereum, Sui and Polkadot.
TECHNICAL PROPOSAL
SYSTEM MODEL
DAOsign Use cases:
- Single Document Signing
- Commodities Trading
- Staking Operations and Assets Management
- Grant Programs Management
- Human Authorship Verification
- DAO Treasury Management
- Bounty Programs Management
ECOSYSTEM FIT
DAOsign will significantly benefit the Conflux ecosystem by offering a crucial infrastructure component for the Conflux Ecosystem. As a platform for secure cryptographic signatures and document workflows, DAOsign will enhance the security and reliability of Conflux-based applications, making them more attractive to developers and users. Apart from that, we would be happy to implement other DAOsign use cases that could potentially enhance the Conflux Ecosystem, such as use case for Grants Management or Staking. We didn’t find any similar project in the Conflux Ecosystem.
