Manager spent funds alone
Every trade is a holder vote; max 10% per trade
Pool SOL into a shared treasury. Holders vote on every trade it makes and on when it closes, on-chain limits keep it sane, and everyone is paid out in SOL.
Every gap that sank the last generation of DAO launchpads, closed on-chain →daos.fun shut down in April 2026, citing creators misusing DAO funds and sandwiching trades. Here is what SolDAOs does differently, enforced by the program.
Manager spent funds alone
Every trade is a holder vote; max 10% per trade
Rugs went unchecked
Reports + freeze; funds only go back to holders
Insiders dumped
Creator tokens locked to close
~20% backed the token
Most of it back if nothing traded (e.g. ~94% on a 500 SOL raise)
Admin key decided payouts
Holders decide the close: fixed date, but holders can vote to extend or close early (50% of supply must vote); SOL paid out automatically
No record of payouts
Public Closed DAOs record
Anyone could launch
Approved requests; creator's locked tokens are forfeited to holders
Treasury could be withdrawn
No withdraw instruction exists
Fees could change
Fees frozen at launch
Ranked by market cap and 24h volume. Every one of them has a treasury you can see, holdings marked to market and a date it pays out.
