Registry

A registry is a list of key-value pairs of anything that a DAO chooses. Examples might include links to a constitution document, social media handles, a website URL, treasury policies, or any other metadata the DAO wants to store on-chain. The registry lives in a smart contract associated with the DAO, making it transparent, immutable (unless changed through governance), and publicly verifiable. Any member can view the registry to understand the DAO's official information and policies.

Changes to the registry must go through the DAO's proposal and voting process. This means adding, updating, or removing registry entries requires community approval, ensuring that important DAO information remains under collective control rather than being editable by any single individual. For example, if a DAO wants to update its official website URL or add a link to new governance documentation, a member would submit a proposal specifying the key and new value, and the change only takes effect after the proposal passes and is executed.
