DAO Elected Council Term Rotation Tool

WHAT IT DOES

This tool enables DAO administrators and council members to manage elected council term rotations directly on-chain. It connects to your wallet and reads the current council state including member addresses, term start/end timestamps, current block timestamp, term status (active/expired), rotation schedule, member voting power, and election history. The tool signs and submits transactions to rotate entire council terms with new member lists, add or remove individual members, update term duration parameters, and records rotation metadata for audit trails.

HOW TO USE

1. Connect your wallet using the wallet bridge (supports MetaMask, WalletConnect, and other EVM-compatible wallets).

2. Select the target network (mainnet, goerli, sepolia) that matches your deployed council contract.

3. Paste your council contract address and click "load contract" — the tool fetches current term data and member roster.

4. Configure rotation settings: specify a new term duration in seconds, and provide a list of member addresses (one per line) for the new council term.

5. Review the displayed term status, current members, voting power distribution, and rotation schedule.

6. Execute actions: rotate the entire term (replaces all members), add a single member, remove a single member, or update the term duration. All transactions are signed through your connected wallet and broadcast to the network.

TECHNICAL MECHANISM

The tool uses ethers.js v5.7.2 to interact with any EVM-compatible council contract that implements a standard interface (members() view, termStart()/termEnd() views, rotateTerm(address[]), addMember(address), removeMember(address), updateTermDuration(uint256), votingPower(address), and totalVotingPower()). It reads on-chain state directly rather than relying on cached off-chain indexes, ensuring data freshness. Transaction handling follows EIP-1559 gas price calculations using receipt.effectiveGasPrice for accurate cost reporting, and batched operations are sequenced to avoid nonce conflicts. The wallet bridge (BGWallet) maintains connection state across the session, with auto-reconnect and network switching capabilities. The tool also chunks block range queries when scanning historical rotation events, automatically halving ranges on RPC limit failures to work across different providers.

WHAT IT CANNOT SEE

This tool operates entirely on-chain and cannot verify off-chain member eligibility criteria (such as reputation scores, KYC status, or governance participation requirements). It cannot validate that the election process itself was conducted fairly or according to your DAO's constitution — it only enforces the on-chain mechanics of rotating council membership. The tool cannot detect identity fraud, Sybil attacks, or collusion among council members. It also cannot ensure that the council contract itself implements rotation logic correctly — you must audit your deployed contract separately. The tool does not perform eligibility checks beyond address validity and contract interface compatibility.

PLEASE NOTE

This tool works exclusively with EVM-compatible blockchain networks (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, etc.). It requires the council contract to implement the standard interface described above. All transactions incur gas fees paid by the connected wallet. The tool maintains no persistent storage — all state is refreshed from the blockchain on each session. For production DAOs, always test rotation transactions on a testnet first and ensure your council contract has been professionally audited.
