One of the quieter problems in DAOs is access that's too easy to pass - Sybil accounts, gaming the system for more rewards/grants Most gates ask one question: "Does this wallet hold the token?" Grape Access changes the standard, shifting access control from what you hold to what you’ve actually done. How It Works: Account Verification Checks Confirms real, verified account status on-chain using cryptographic hashes. Your identity stays private without exposing raw IDs or addresses. Wallet On-Chain Identity: Ensures a legitimate wallet is directly linked to the verified profile, running all checks transparently. Reputation Score: Earned through seasonal contributions, NOT bought. And with time-locks to ensure reputation only counts after it’s been held over time. Integration with Governance: Proposal creators must pass full verification and meet reputation thresholds, members need verified wallets and active reputation scores to participate, Requires complete verification check and reputation score for proposal creators, and a higher bar for treasury related actions. Show up. Contribute. Then propose. access.governance.so/

Grape tools for DAO builders: OG Reputation Spaces: Track who actually shows up, award contributors on-chain, and run seasons to reward participation however your DAO sees fit. Grape Verification: Membership and access checks that are reputation-aware, not just token-weighted. Grape Access: Token and credential gating for your community. Governance by Grape: Proposals, voting, treasury management. The direct Realms equivalent, maintained by the community. Grape Wallet (beta): Multi-chain wallet with governance and reputation built in from day one. Grape governance discord bot: Get notified on all proposals inside of your discord as another measure for security If you are looking to set up governance in your community come find us on Discord. We will walk through it together. 🍇

Governance.so recently flagged a malicious proposal for Grape DAO and tagged it immediately with a HIGH risk rating, right on the proposal page. What it caught: 🔴Author has no active Grape Verification 🔴Author has zero DAO reputation this season 🔴A token holder with no prior voting history in the DAO 🟡Treasury assets leaving DAO-controlled accounts (2 transfers, 2 assets, 1 destination) 🟡Destination wallet unverified, with zero DAO reputation 🟡No proposal description at all Every red flag was surfaced automatically, so members didn't have to dig through raw instructions to spot it. This is what DAO governance should look like. 🍇 If you're DAO looking for DAO tooling like this, check out governance.so/
