Hello Gnosis community,
I’d like to introduce an MVP I recently built for DAO and treasury on-chain reporting, designed with a strong focus on deterministic calculations, auditability, and reporting integrity.
Gnosis Safe has become the standard for secure DAO treasury custody.
However, while custody and execution are well addressed, audit-ready treasury reporting remains surprisingly fragile across many organizations.
This MVP was built to address that specific gap.
The Problem This MVP Focuses On
Most on-chain accounting and analytics tools today are optimized for:
- Dashboards and high-level summaries
- Convenience and speed
- Ongoing monitoring
But when a DAO needs to answer more demanding questions—such as:
- Can this report be independently reproduced?
- Can an auditor verify each figure directly from on-chain data?
- What exact methodology produced these numbers?
many existing tools fall short.
Design Objective
This project focuses on one thing only:
Producing reports that can be defended, reproduced, and audited.
| Area | Typical Tools | This MVP |
|---|---|---|
| Calculation model | Black-box or snapshot-based | Fully deterministic and versioned |
| Reproducibility | Best-effort | Guaranteed |
| Methodology disclosure | Implicit or partial | Explicitly documented |
| Reporting format | Dashboards or CSV | Audit-ready PDF + CSV |
| Traceability | Partial | Full tx-hash-level traceability |
| Evaluation friction | Requires onboarding | One-address proof of concept |
How It Works
- Input a wallet or contract address
(for example, a Gnosis Safe treasury) - Generate a PDF and CSV report containing:
- Complete transaction history with UTC timestamps
- Asset types and inflow/outflow classification
- USD valuation based on transaction-time pricing (source clearly stated)
- Calculation methodology version (e.g., Methodology v0.1)
- Every number in the report is directly traceable back to on-chain transactions.
The result is a report that can be reviewed confidently by auditors, accountants, contributors, and governance participants.
Why This Matters for Gnosis-Based DAOs
- Gnosis Safe secures funds — this MVP secures reporting integrity
- Deterministic outputs reduce ambiguity during audits and governance reviews
- Explicit methodology lowers operational and reputational risk
This MVP is not meant to replace analytics dashboards.
It is designed to serve as a trust and verification layer for treasury reporting.
MVP Overview and Proof of Concept
A detailed overview of the MVP, including sample reports and full methodology documentation, is available here:
If helpful, I’m happy to generate a free proof-of-concept report using any publicly available Gnosis Safe address, so the output can be evaluated directly.
Looking for Feedback
This post is shared primarily to invite discussion, critique, and real-world validation.
In particular, I’d value feedback from:
- DAO operators managing Gnosis Safe treasuries
- Contributors involved in financial reporting or audits
- Anyone who has participated in an external review of DAO finances
Questions, critiques, and suggestions are very welcome.
Thank you for your time—I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
Why This Fits the Gnosis Community
- Clear separation of custody vs reporting responsibility
- Emphasis on determinism, auditability, and accountability
- Low-friction PoC framed as verification, not sales
