We are pleased to announce our latest collaboration with Clarity, a team of Plutus developers and DAO enthusiasts on a mission to build the no-code infrastructure required to easily create, manage, and participate in DAOs on the Cardano blockchain. Early in our development of Liqwid we recognized the value a modular built, on-chain governance standard could deliver to not just LiqwidDAO but all DAOs building on Cardano. Agora on-chain governance library of Plutus contracts was implemented and made open source for all Cardano DAOs to build upon.
Clarity team has been an early adopter of Agora governance modules, an open source and modular built governance library for Cardano projects. Agora serves as the foundational building blocks of on-chain DAO infrastructure for Clarity and other Cardano DAOs.
We have entered into a strategic partnership with Clarity to develop off-chain tooling required for DAOs to seamlessly interact with Agora on-chain governance contracts. Clarity team has leveraged Agora to build out their protocol and critical off-chain infrastructure to allow anyone with a Cardano wallet to seamlessly participate in on-chain DAO processes (e.g. proposal creation/execution, voting, staking).
We are also excited to share Liqwid Labs CEO Dewayne Cameron is joining Clarity’s advisory board to provide insights and help guide Clarity’s protocol vision as an early builder in the Cardano DAO/DeFi space.
About Clarity:
The purpose of Clarity is to enable decentralized innovation.
We believe human prosperity will be decided at the intersection of cutting edge technology, transparency, and human collaboration. Our mission is to make equitable global financial and governance systems more accessible. To take steps toward this vision and mission, we are building the Clarity Protocol.
The Clarity Protocol is a library of smart contracts that focuses on creating optimal conditions and incentives to enable decentralized and fair economic growth. At its core, Clarity is an ecosystem where organizations, communities, entrepreneurs, and investors can pool, manage, and govern capital securely, efficiently, and in a decentralized manner. The Clarity v1 product will leverage Agora contracts to enable DAO creation, treasury management, and proposal creation/execution.

About Liqwid:
Liqwid Finance is a decentralized peer-to-pool lending and borrowing protocol on Cardano. Algorithmic money markets are critical infrastructure in every healthy blockchain ecosystem, our core team at Liqwid has been hard at work for the past year building this critical DeFi primitive to bring more powerful and complex capabilities on-chain. We are also the builders of Agora, an open source library of Plutus contracts that deliver on-chain governance features to power Cardano DAOs. Submit proposals (with programmable execution), vote, create community-managed DAO treasuries, stake, delegate voting power, use timelock on successful proposals or even transform a DeFi DAO into an insurance pool, all functionality Agora delivers to Cardano DAO developers today.
