Hats Modules: A New Era for Programmable Organizations
TL;DRHats Modules are programmable extensions for rolesModules can be connected to hats to expand their functionality, such as automatic granting/revocation and activation/deactivation based on specific conditionsAny builder can create their own module, plug it into their own hats tree permissionlessly, and even make it available in any app that supports the Hats Modules RegistryAny app can also tap into the Hats Modules infrastructure to offer these same module options to their end-usersThe ...

Hats Protocol empowers DAOs to get things done by delegating revocable roles, responsibilities, and authorities to their contributors.
We think this is a missing piece of DAOs. Join us in stewarding its evolution.
How to Get Involved
Hats is just getting started, so our needs are broad and varied. Specifically, we're seeking contributors to advance:
UI/UX design,
front-end development,
protocol engineering,
subgraph development,
branding & marketing (memelording),
something else in your zone of genius.
If you resonate with what we’re working on, we'd love to hear your ideas and accentuate your unique gifts in service of this mission.
Connect with us here to get involved.
The Evolution of Hats
We believe that for Hats Protocol to thrive as foundational infrastructure for DAOs, it must ultimately be owned and governed by its community. While we build the protocol itself, we also aspire to build a DAO that sets a new standard for protocol DAOs.
This will require intentionally building the structures, practices, and culture to facilitate fully permissionless and decentralized governance. From day one, we commit to living into the ethos of the DAO movement, and transparently tracking the contributions that people make to the protocol.
As we track contributions to the protocol, we anticipate that the DAO will develop a simple reputation system that grants committed contributors greater responsibility, autonomy, and authority.
To see more on what Hats Protocol stands for, see our Manifesto v1.
