DAO Contributor Vesting Batch Setup Tool

WHAT IT DOES

The DAO Contributor Vesting Batch Setup Tool enables DAOs to create multiple vesting schedules for contributors in a single batched transaction. It reads vesting contract state, user address, governance token balance, voting power, and DAO membership status to verify authorization. The tool processes contributor addresses, token allocation amounts, and vesting parameters including cliff duration, vesting duration, release frequency, and start timestamp. It supports batchCreateVesting, batchCreateWithCliff, and batchCreateAndFund transactions, automatically selecting the appropriate method based on provided parameters.

HOW TO USE

Connect your wallet, select the target network, and enter the vesting contract address and the token contract address being vested. List contributor addresses (one per line) and corresponding token allocations (one per line, in the same order). Configure the vesting schedule by setting cliff duration (days), vesting duration (days), and release frequency (days). Optionally set a custom start timestamp—leave blank to use the current block timestamp. The tool will fetch contract state, verify you are the contract owner, and check token allowance before proceeding. Once confirmed, it submits the appropriate batch vesting transaction, creating schedules for all contributors simultaneously.

TECHNICAL MECHANISM

Unlike manual vesting setups that require separate transactions per contributor, this tool batches all vesting schedule creations into a single transaction. It first validates that the caller is the vesting contract owner by reading the owner() function. The tool then checks the token allowance using allowance(address owner, address spender) to ensure the contract can pull the total allocated tokens. If allowance is insufficient, it prompts and executes an approve transaction. The tool dynamically selects the optimal deployment method: batchCreateAndFund when native ETH funding is needed for the contract itself, batchCreateWithCliff when cliff parameters are critical, or batchCreateVesting for standard vesting. It converts days to seconds (using 86400 seconds per day) for on-chain timestamps, and handles start timestamp parsing from datetime input or falling back to current block time. The tool aggregates total allocations, displays them in the review step, and processes all contributors sequentially within the batch transaction. Gas costs are calculated using receipt.effectiveGasPrice for accurate post-EIP-1559 fee accounting.

WHAT IT CANNOT SEE

This tool cannot verify the actual contribution or eligibility of beneficiaries beyond what is provided as input. It cannot validate that vesting parameters are appropriate for the contributors' roles, nor can it detect token inflation risks or governance approval requirements that may exist off-chain. The tool cannot verify that contributors are still active, that vesting schedules should not be modified, or that the token contract has sufficient balance for future releases. It also cannot detect existing vesting schedules that may overlap or conflict with new ones.

PLEASE NOTE

This tool supports EVM-compatible chains. The vesting contract must implement the batch vesting functions expected by this tool. The caller must be the contract owner. Ensure that the total token allocation does not exceed the available token balance in your wallet and that the contract has been granted sufficient allowance. Vesting schedules are irreversible once created—verify all addresses, allocations, and parameters carefully before signing. The cliff duration is added to the start timestamp; release frequency determines how often tokens become claimable.
