Welcome to DAO Café
DAO Café provides developer tools for the CreateDAO protocol, a governance framework built on OpenZeppelin Governor and ERC20Votes.daocafe-sdk
TypeScript SDK with React hooks and TanStack Query integration for building governance apps.
Server Handler
Reads DAOs, proposals, votes and delegations directly from the chain via RPC. No indexer required.
What is DAO Café?
DAO Café gives your app all governance activity of DAOs created with the CreateDAO factory:- TypeScript SDK with React hooks and promise-based query functions
- Server handler you mount in your own app, which reads the contracts over RPC and caches the results
- Multi-chain support for Ethereum Mainnet, Arbitrum One and Sepolia Testnet
- Complete governance data: DAOs, proposals with live state, votes, delegations, token holders and decoded proposal actions
The hosted GraphQL indexer at
dao.cafe/graphql was retired in October 2026.
daocafe-sdk 0.3 keeps the same API and reads the chain directly. See Server Handler.Quick Links
