Introduction

Skipper is a modular smart contract framework for building Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) on the TON blockchain, written in Tact.

It allows communities to manage treasury, vote on proposals, and coordinate governance decisions using jetton-based voting power.

---

🚀 Overview

Skipper enables onchain DAO governance with the following flow:

1. Jetton holders lock their tokens to participate in governance.

2. Participants create proposals (e.g. transfer funds, whitelist address).

3. Other token holders vote FOR or AGAINST the proposal.

4. If the proposal meets the required quorum and support threshold, it is executed onchain.

🧠 Voting power is proportional to the amount of jettons locked by the participant.

🔁 Governance Lifecycle

1. Create Proposal

Any participant can initiate a proposal.

---

2. Voting

Token holders vote FOR ✅ or AGAINST ❎ the proposal.

---

3. Execution

If enough FOR votes are collected (based on quorum and threshold), the DAO executes the proposed action.

If not enough support is received, the proposal is closed with no effect.

---

📦 Components

The system consists of several core contracts:

Contract	Description
Skipper	Root DAO contract, stores configuration and manages proposals
Proposal	A proposal instance with its own lifecycle and vote tracking
Voter	Manages per-user voting logic
Lock	Handles locking of governance jettons
