Tansu has successfully validated the first tranche of its Stellar Community Fund build Award, completing three key milestones for a decentralized organization (DAO) on Stellar. This includes a Soroban smart contract backend with DAO functionality, a matching frontend, and extensive maintenance work. Additional efforts focus on IPFS integration, design improvements, anonymous voting, and reducing external dependencies for true decentralization.

Tansu announced the validation of its first tranche deliverable under the Stellar Community Fund build Award. They completed the proposed milestones: a Soroban contract backend with DAO interface for creating proposals, voting, and execution, covered by comprehensive tests; a frontend with pages to list, create, and view proposals, supporting custom XDR transactions post-voting; and pre-Testnet maintenance including code refactoring, improved CI/CD, testnet deployment tools, Ledger wallet support, and bug fixes. Beyond the proposal, they've integrated IPFS for hosting the dApp and proposals, developed a new logo and UX design, explored BLS curve and homomorphic encryption for anonymous votes, and aim to eliminate GitHub dependencies. The team emphasizes a no-backend approach to achieve full decentralization, enabling IPFS hosting and client-side trust, rejecting easier web2 compromises in favor of web3 principles.
