Deployment

Deploying the protocol itself and the DAOs built on it.

• Protocol Factory — one-shot deployment of the whole OSx stack (framework + ENS + the governing Management DAO + core plugin repos) onto a new EVM chain (source: protocol-factory).
• DAO Launchpad — the deployment workbench that drives real DAO creation on top of a deployed protocol, via a correct-from-genesis on-chain factory (source: dao-launchpad).

The two share one best practice, the correct-from-genesis one-shot factory: everything is wired in a single atomic, verifiable deployment that ends with the factory holding no power. One does it at protocol scale, the other at DAO scale.

• The deployment checklist — the guarantees a safe production deployment ceremony enforces, and why each one matters.

Where to start

Understand the core (what gets deployed and why) before the factory (how it all gets deployed at once). Then read the Protocol Factory (standing up OSx itself) and the DAO Launchpad.
