title: Use Zodiac To Add Gnosis Safe Support To The Kali DAO Client
author: Mark, @ProjectProgramAMark (<-- Github)
status: Draft
type: Funding
created: 2022-03-16
Simple Summary
Building an extension/app on the Kali DAO client to control a Gnosis Safe using the governance mechanisms built into Kali DAO, allowing for full governance and integration between the two technologies.
Abstract
Gnosis Safe is the de facto treasury for many DAO platforms. Kali DAO aims to create a DAO while handling the legal framework in the back-end. Kali DAO is run by many of the people in LexDAO, and is very well known. By making an extension using Zodiac in order to control a Gnosis Safe, you allow full governance of a DAO built on that platform which is easily accessible to users that are not Web3-savvy.
Motivation
Gnosis Safe is now standard for many DAO implementations. Creating avenues for new users of Gnosis Safe is ultimately better for the platform. Furthermore, there is already an implementation of something similar on DAOHaus and Snapshot, and there is one in development for the [Aragon client] as well (bounty is sponsored by Gnosis Safe).
Specification
Building this would likely require:
- Zodiac tools to enable the Kali DAO as a module. This would allow the Kali DAO itself to be able to create transactions on the safe, without the need of a second layer of multi-sig users (which would both create redundancy of governance as well as give opportunity for malice/disruption/unequal governance to a number of users)
- NextJS, a React framework, which is what is used to create Kali apps
- Solidity to possibly create smart contract code to facilitate creation of a module. However, this could also be done without Solidity code, and instead simply utilize Gnosis Safe SDKs to enable Kali DAO as a module using only the front end
Rationale
Building this using the tools mentioned in the specification section is not only pretty doable, but it seems that the amount of effort would produce many more users of Gnosis Safe, as well as make it accessible to many more new users that may not have otherwise chosen to use Gnosis Safe, and instead use the built-in finance methods of Kali DAO. Which are not bad, but it is not as robust and amazing as Gnosis Safe 
I have also personally spoken to people very involved in the creation and maintenance of both Gnosis Safe, Zodiac, and Kali DAO community. All are on board and think this is a great idea. I am thinking a bounty of a one-time payment of 5000 USDC to be attached to this bounty. This would be a fair compensation for the developer’s time, and would be enough to stimulate the creation of this.
Side note: as a new user I was only allowed to put 2 links in my post, or else I would have linked to all of the other tech I was using as well as other resources
Implementation
The implementations must be completed before any GIP is given status “Final”, but it need not be completed before the GIP is accepted.
