Introducing
HATS PROTOCOL 🧢🎩👒
A new protocol for flexible & composable DAO-native roles ("hats") represented as NFTs
Using Hats, DAOs can:
- delegate & revoke authorities
- hold contributors accountable
- create role legibility

Today we are launching Hats Modules!
This is the most impactful release we've shipped since the protocol itself, and it's already catalyzing a new era for programmable organizations
Here's why:

TODAY IS THE DAY — Hats protoDAO has launched! 💥
This is a major step in our commitment to decentralizing the governance & operations of Hats Protocol 🌀
A short 🧵👇
- what the protoDAO is all about 🌿
- how to join the community and get involved 🧢
1/9
Beyond immutable & persistent code, we are committed to imbuing decentralization into our governance and operations to extend those benefits to the human dimension of our ecosystem.
To that end, Hats protoDAO will be launching this Thursday Sept 21 -- stay tuned 👀

DAO governance is getting in the way of DAO effectiveness.
How can DAOs get things done with the same (or better) level of effectiveness as tradOrgs, while maintaining their core values of decentralization & individual autonomy?
By bringing your roles onchain.

The dream of composability is alive inside Hats protoDAO!
There are so many incredible composable tools for collectively managing an organization
And Hats is what ties it all together 🧢

Sneak peek: Hat Tree Visualization
This is the one thing the Hats community has been raving about. Seeing the structure of delegation in your DAO is a huge unlock.
It's a major takeaway from our friends at
@Coordinape
— the power of giving the DAO a mirror to see itself 🪞

We believe that DAOs can get things done at scale without resorting to the hierarchical power structures of traditional organizations.
This is why we’re building Hats.

Imagine...
You can even hold a
@jokerace_xyz
that automatically gives the winners special authorities like multisig signing, voting rights & more
Once the election term ends, or if the winners become losers, the hat & its associated authorities are *automatically* revoked

If we are to truly realize the potential of DAOs, we need to empower the people who make them go.
Working with dozens of DAOs has revealed there are three things your contributors absolutely need in order to do great work:
Context
Authority
Accountability

WHY HATS
Hats are roles & roles are how people coordinate to get things done
Why are so many DAOs so chaotic? There are no roles! No roles = no structure = no accountability. The tyranny of structurelessness wins again...
It doesn't have to be like that.

HOW TO BRING YOUR ROLES ONCHAIN
Step 1. Create roles 🧢
Step 2. Connect power to roles ⚡️
Step 3. Customize logic for how the role will be issued, revoked & deactivated 🤝
Step 4. Mint hat tokens to any Ethereum or L2 addresses: EOAs, Safes, DAOs & smart contracts 🤠

HOW HATS WORKS
Role-based governance is the future, and Hats bundles all the things roles need: responsibility, authority, accountability
How does Hats empower orgs to ensure the right ppl & addresses always have the right permissions?
4 steps. It's really quite simple.

- Member of a

- DAO twitter account access, eg via

- Discord admin, eg via

“Hats Protocol is going to be one of the key components of NFT governance … and involves the attribution of roles within DAOs via NFT ‘hats’. It is very early in the conceptualization phase of its development, but the ideas and design are truly innovative.”
💖
Here’s my write up of DAO Camp.
An incredible experience, with incredible people, at the cutting edge of the most important technological design space going.
This was the DAO coming of age moment. The next bull run has started you just can’t see it yet.

ATX DAO is using Hats to enable members to permissionlessly level up and claim new roles & authorities as they accrue reputation (REP) in the community
Tip of the hat to
@ATXDAO
for "enabling the autonomy of their members through automated transparent systems rather than…
The Reputation & Roles System Proposal has passed with a staggering 96% yes votes! This officially marks the beginning for a way to track trust and assign authorities/responsibilities in new and exciting decentralized and permissionless ways! Check out the proposal here:…

3 common ways people are using Hats:
1. ELECTIONS: automatically grant permissions based on election results
2. ORG-CONTROLLED MULTISIGS: delegate & revoke signing authority
3. COMMUNITY MANAGEMENT: automate onboarding, offboarding, & cross-platform permissioning
All forkable
So excited by the potential of Hats templates
I think of them as *structure legos*
For the first time, we'll be able to directly fork the best structures of the top orgs
eg:
- the top grants programs
- the best delegate structures
- effective arbitration systems
all forkable

— automation
— custom module dev
…give us a call!

Why Hats?
Not everything can be governed by consensus
For many key DAO operations, the most effective approach is to delegate responsibility to a person or pod
Such delegation today primarily occurs implicitly, with little accountability & requiring a lot of trust

Revocable signing authority is delegated to individuals & teams using Hats to ensure the multisigs are ultimately controlled by the protoDAO as a whole

Hats Protocol uses NFTs to make that delegation explicit!
This gives DAOs much more control over who is able to act on the DAO's behalf
Hats Protocol also empowers a DAO to revoke any authority it delegates, alongside other forms of accountability for authority holders

Hats is the connective tissue that ties all your other tools together, an organizational roles and permissions layer that composes with all your favorite tools and is fully controlled by the org itself, mitigating risk of internal or external capture
13/13
With that recognition, Hats Protocol is designed explicitly to compose, integrate, & interoperate with as wide a variety of tools, apps & protocols as possible.
We extend that practice to all other aspects of Hats Protocol-related technologies, from infrastructure to apps.
