About DAO Maker
DAO Maker is a launch platform founded in 2018 built around the Strong Holder Offering. A standard IDO allocates by capital alone and lists into immediate selling; the SHO ties allocation to DAO Power, a score combining staked DAO and social-mining points, so more stake and more community contribution mean a higher tier and larger guaranteed allocation, with lower tiers entering a lottery. Projects set aside part of the raise as a refund pool, and participants who hold through vesting can claim compensation if the price falls below the sale price, turning a one-off flip into conditional ownership.
The platform also runs Venture Bonds, IGOs and post-launch market support for retail participants and early projects; unlike an exchange IEO, review is shared between the community and the platform and issuance settles on-chain. Most SHOs exclude US residents, KYC is required before participating, and allocation follows tier rather than first-come order.
Incentives and issuance: A 68,000 DAO trading competition ran on KuCoin from May 19 to June 2. A points system went live letting users redeem points for DAO rewards, and 1,000,000 DAO funded by staking penalties was added to the ETH staking reward pool for distribution over 12 months.
Pipeline and price: The 2026 SHO pipeline has one deal signed, two in final steps and over ten in talks. DAO hit an all-time low of $0.019 on August 19; by October 19 the market cap was about $5.31 million with roughly 250.9 million circulating, up sharply from 213.7 million on September 25.
From the first quarter of 2026 DAOMaker entered what it calls its Chainmaker phase, tying its Launchpad to in-house on-chain infrastructure and launching Launchpad 3.0: users lock DAO tokens for higher subscription tiers, and a dynamic reward pool links lockup size to rewards. The Chainmaker framing recasts it from a pure distribution channel into an infrastructure supplier for projects, shifting its revenue mix from subscription fees to on-chain services and long-term revenue shares.
Around March 27, 2026, DAO was up about 103.9% over seven days and 143.4% over 30 days at roughly $0.07, with a market cap of about $17.42 million; circulating supply was about 2.509 million tokens, more than 90% of the 2.775 million total. Several new projects listed in quick succession, with allocations set by staking tier. Critics worry that once the listing pace slows, the marginal effect of staking incentives fades fast and unlocks create selling pressure. For projects, the platform's value is cold start and community distribution; for holders, returns depend on the quality of new listings and the unlock schedule, and the two do not move in step.
DAOMaker keeps integrating incubation, token management and on-chain subscriptions into one pipeline, uses the dynamic reward pool to tune allocations, and makes the quality of new projects and allocation transparency the core metrics for the next phase.
