Stake DAO Contracts Monorepo

Overview

This repository contains all core smart contracts, libraries, and tools for the Stake DAO protocol. It is organized as a modular monorepo powered by pnpm workspaces.

For user-facing and protocol documentation, visit https://docs.stakedao.org/

Packages

The monorepo is organized into several key packages. Each package has its own README with detailed documentation.

For in-depth details, see the README in each package directory.

• lockers/: Liquid locker protocol (sdToken, veToken, gauges, etc.) for maximizing governance token utility.
• strategies/: Yield aggregator and boosted strategies built on top of sdToken shared boosting.
• vlsdt/: Governance system replacing veSDT with a flat 1:1 voting power model, an on-chain boost marketplace, and checkpoint-based fee distribution.
• votemarket/: Permissionless protocol to create and manage incentive campaigns for LPs voting on gauge weights, built on Curve Gauge Controller forks.
• periphery/: Satellite products and tooling that build on core packages (router, lending, Votemarket infra) without reverse dependencies.
• address-book/: Canonical registry of all protocol and product contract addresses, with CI-powered exports for off-chain integrations.
• shared/: Utility contracts and libraries (e.g., Create3, autovoter, distributors) used by other packages.
• interfaces/: Shared Solidity interfaces for all protocol integrations, ensuring consistency across packages.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v22+ recommended)
• pnpm (v10+ recommended)
• Foundry (for Solidity development)
• Vyper 0.3.10 (required for compiling some gauge contracts in the lockers package)

Quickstart

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/stake-dao/contracts-monorepo.git
   cd contracts-monorepo

2. Install dependencies:

   pnpm install

3. Setup environment variables:
   • Copy .env.example to .env in each package as needed, and fill in the required keys.

Each package may have additional setup or requirements described in their respective README files.

Development Workflow

• Makefile (optional): The repository includes a Makefile with useful commands for formatting, linting, building, and testing. Example:

  make test
  make lint
  make lint-fix

• pnpm workspaces: Use pnpm to manage dependencies and scripts across all packages efficiently.
