Worker Organization Onboarding

This guide helps worker organizations, strike committees, mutual aid groups, and labor supporters create a transparent treasury address that can receive funds through LaborCoin governance.

Purpose

Worker organizations may create their own DAO treasury on Aragon and use that treasury address when requesting support from the LaborCoin DAO.

The organization should publish its DAO address, explain who controls it, and provide enough context for LaborCoin governance participants to evaluate the request.

Step 1: Choose Worker Representatives

Select a small group of trusted worker representatives who will manage the organization treasury.

Recommended starting point:

Do not use one person as the only treasury controller unless there is no practical alternative.

Step 2: Create Wallets

Each signer needs a Polygon-compatible wallet.

Simple method:

  1. Install MetaMask
  2. Create a new wallet
  3. Write down the recovery phrase offline
  4. Store the recovery phrase securely
  5. Add Polygon Mainnet
  6. Send a small amount of POL for gas

Never share recovery phrases in group chats, email, screenshots, cloud storage, or shared documents.

Step 3: Create an Aragon DAO

Open Aragon and create a new DAO for the organization.

Recommended configuration:

A multisig DAO is recommended because it is simple, understandable, and avoids unnecessary token governance complexity for local worker organizations.

Step 4: Save the Treasury Address

After the DAO is created, copy the DAO treasury address.

This address is the organization address that should be used when requesting funds from the LaborCoin DAO.

Save the following information:

Step 5: Publish Verification Information

LaborCoin governance participants need enough information to verify that the request is legitimate.

A strong request should include:

Step 6: Submit a LaborCoin Proposal

A registered LaborCoin DAO participant may create a proposal requesting that LaborCoin treasury funds be sent to the organization DAO treasury address.

The recipient address should be the organization DAO treasury address, not an individual wallet.

The proposal description should explain the request clearly and include the verification information listed above.

Step 7: Distribute Funds Transparently

If a LaborCoin proposal passes and funds are sent to the organization DAO, the organization should use its own Aragon process to approve distributions.
