Why Colony?
First conceived by DAO OGs all the way back in 2014, Colony is the most powerful, practical, flexible, and easy-to-use DAO framework.
Powerful
Colony has everything an organization needs to operate on-chain. Payments, teams, authority, governance, fundraising, revenue sharing, arbitration, the ability to interact with any other smart contract on Ethereum, and a whole lot more.
Practical
In a healthy organization, voting should be rare. That's why Colony operates a more agile system of 'lazy consensus'. It means organizations spend their time productively, not endlessly voting.
Flexible
Colony Core provides powerful primitives for finances, org structure, and authority. Extensions are plug-ins that build on those, shaping organizations according to their needs.
Easy
Colony makes DAOs easy. Unlike the complicated, clunky competition, Colony's application seamlessly integrates powerful DAO functionality into a polished, logical, and easy to use experience.
If you want to efficiently build a project with people from all over the world, you need a colony.
If you want to incentivize and pay contributors in a fair and transparent way, you need a colony.
If you want to maximize your project's scalability, you need a colony.
