{"title":"Fund the Infrastructure Modernization & AI-assisted Maintenance Workflow Initiative","description":"# DAOhaus Infrastructure Modernization & AI-assisted Maintenance Workflow Initiative\n\n## Executive Summary\n\nDAOhaus infrastructure has accumulated technical debt across its codebase, documentation, and operational processes over several years of active use.\n\nThis proposal funds a **one-time modernization and maintenance sprint executed by Raid Guild** to simplify the codebase, update dependencies, clean documentation, and document infrastructure operations. It also introduces **AI-assisted maintenance workflows** to support long-term sustainability with a combination of human oversight and agentic developer systems.\n\n### What\n\nThe goal is to reduce complexity, clarify what is actively maintained, and make DAOhaus significantly easier to support over time.\n\nThe work includes:\n\n* Consolidating and simplifying the active codebase\n* Updating dependencies and resolving known issues\n* Cleaning and restructuring documentation\n* Creating maintenance SOPs and operational playbooks\n* Reducing unnecessary repository and community surface area\n* Introducing AI-assisted maintenance infrastructure\n\n### Why\n\nDAOhaus has supported thousands of organizations and remains live, functional infrastructure. However, the surrounding systems have become fragmented and harder to maintain.\n\nThis creates risks including:\n\n* Growing technical debt and maintenance overhead\n* Outdated dependencies and potential system fragility\n* Unclear repository and documentation structure\n* Difficulty onboarding new maintainers\n* Undocumented operational knowledge\n\nThis initiative addresses these issues by making DAOhaus **simpler, more maintainable, and easier to operate**, while enabling future contributors—supported by AI-assisted workflows—to efficiently sustain the system.\n\n---\n\n## Scope\n\nThis initiative will be executed by **Raid Guild**, a collective of engineers and builders with deep experience supporting decentralized infrastructure and Ethereum ecosystem projects.\n\nRaid Guild will perform a structured infrastructure audit, modernization effort, and documentation sprint to reduce maintenance complexity and prepare DAOhaus for long-term sustainability.\n\nThe work is organized into several workstreams.\n\n### Workstreams\n\n#### 1. Codebase Consolidation & Modernization\n\n* Consolidate active packages into a simplified repository structure\n* Preserve legacy repositories while clearly marking them as deprecated\n* Update dependencies across active codebases\n* Resolve known technical issues (e.g. wallet connection compatibility issues)\n* Remove legacy SDK dependencies from the active application layer\n\nThe objective is to reduce technical surface area, simplify maintenance, and clearly identify active systems.\n\n#### 2. Internal Architecture & Maintenance Documentation\n\nCreate structured internal documentation covering:\n\n* Repository structure and system architecture\n* Key design decisions\n* Deployment processes\n* Infrastructure dependencies\n* Known constraints and edge cases\n* System dependency maps\n\nDocumentation will be structured to support both **human maintainers and AI-assisted development tools**.\n\n#### 3. AI-Assisted Maintenance Infrastructure\n\nAs part of the modernization effort, Raid Guild will introduce **agentic AI development tooling** designed to support long-term maintenance of DAOhaus.\n\nThis includes:\n\n* Setup of an **agentic development environment**)\n * Raid Guild Dark Factory\n * Github issue management flows\n* Configuration of AI agents for:\n * Issue triage\n * Code analysis\n * Implementation assistance\n * Infra monitoring and escalation\n* Integration of these systems with the DAOhaus repository\n\nThese tools allow a single human maintainer to operate with significantly increased efficiency by delegating routine development tasks to structured AI workflows.\n\n#### 4. Community Surface Area Reduction\n\n* Discord cleanup\n * Archive unnecessary channels\n * Consolidate discussion to a small set of clear categories:\n * Legacy user support\n * Governance discussions\n * Announcements\n * AI Flow reporting (issue triage, api monitoring, activity reports)\n* Mark unused repositories as deprecated\n* Update READMEs to clearly identify active repositories\n* Preserve legacy code for historical access\n* Clarify which repositories are actively maintained\n* Remove outdated SDK documentation\n* Review and simplify User and Developer documentation\n* Ensure public documentation reflects only active tools and systems\n\n#### 5. Maintenance & Transition Readiness Packet\n\nRaid Guild will produce a structured **DAOhaus Maintenance & Transition Readiness Packet** designed to support ongoing operations and future maintainers.\n\nThis packet will include:\n* Codebase architecture overview\n* Infrastructure diagrams\n* Repository map with clear identification of active systems\n* Maintenance SOPs and operational playbooks covering:\n * The Graph indexer management\n * Deployment and hosting processes\n * Domain management\n * Documentation hosting\n * Main website hosting\n * Access management procedures\n* Documentation of **AI-assisted maintenance workflows**, including how maintainers utilize agentic systems for:\n * Issue triage\n * Code analysis and implementation\n * Testing and validation\n\nThis packet ensures DAOhaus infrastructure is **fully documented, reproducible, and maintainable**, while enabling efficient long-term support through both human and AI-assisted workflows.\n\nIt also prepares DAOhaus for potential future stewardship or maintenance transitions, without initiating any transfer of control.\n\n---\n\n# Timeline\n\n6 weeks\n\nThe initiative will be structured as a **fixed-scope infrastructure modernization sprint** executed by Raid Guild.\n\n\n---\n\n# Budget\nBudget will cover:\n\n* Engineering work performed by Raid Guild contributors\n* Documentation and infrastructure mapping\n* AI-assisted maintenance environment setup\n* Community Surface Area Reduction setup\n* Operational playbook creation\n* 3 Raid Guild Dvelopers/PM roles (Dekan, Sam, Other RG Developer)\n\n**15 ETH**\n\nOperational cost addition:\n\n* **AI Tooling subscriptions for AI-assisted maintenance:**\n * Paid for with existing infra budget.
