ERC-4824 primary sources — 2026-05-08

Core standard text

• https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-4824
  • Canonical ERC page with motivation, interface, schema, indexing logic, and rationale.
• https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ethereum/ERCs/master/ERCS/erc-4824.md
  • Raw spec text; easiest way to quote the exact daoURI interface, JSON-LD schema, and indexing-priority language.

DAOstar implementation and adoption material

• https://docs.daostar.org/How%20To’s/DifferentPaths
  • Most useful operational guide for how ERC-4824 gets adopted in practice: self-hosted endpoints, GitHub-hosted JSON, framework-generated endpoints, ENS text records, EAS attestations, and external registration contracts.
• https://github.com/metagov/daostar
  • DAOstar repository root hosting schemas, reference implementations, and related assets for DAO standards including ERC-4824-adjacent work.
• https://raw.githubusercontent.com/metagov/daostar/main/README.md
  • Short but clear statement that DAOstar maintains standards, schemas, and reference implementations for DAO interoperability.

Corpus takeaway

ERC-4824 is valuable because it standardizes the metadata surface through which DAOs become legible to tooling, not the governance mechanism itself. That makes it a strong comparison class for Boardroom, Tally, Snapshot, Aragon, and other governance-tooling layers when asking where real soft power sits: in voting contracts, or in the indexes, schemas, and default views that decide which DAO activity is even visible and comparable.
