Complete Guide to Building a Polygon DAT Smart Contract | Low Gas Fee DAO Development

Ultimate Guide to Building a Decentralized Autonomous Trust on Polygon

Learn how to create gas-efficient DAO smart contracts with our comprehensive tutorial

Why Polygon for DAT Development?

Ultra-Low Transaction Fees

Average gas costs 100-1000x cheaper than Ethereum mainnet

EVM Compatibility

Full support for Solidity and Ethereum development tools

High Throughput

Process 65,000+ transactions per second for community scalability

DAT Smart Contract Architecture

Our optimized Polygon contract includes four core modules:

1. Governance System

Token-weighted voting mechanism
7-day proposal lifecycle
Automated execution of approved proposals

2. Asset Management

MATIC collateralization system
Aave yield farming integration
Chainlink price oracles

// Governance Proposal Creation

function createProposal(string memory _description) external {

    require(votingPower[msg.sender] > 0, "No voting power");

    proposalCount++;

    proposals[proposalCount] = Proposal({

        id: proposalCount,

        proposer: msg.sender,

        description: _description,

        forVotes: 0,

        againstVotes: 0,

        endTime: block.timestamp + VOTING_PERIOD,

        executed: false

    });

}

Step-by-Step Deployment Process

1. Environment Setup

Install MetaMask and configure for Polygon Network
Obtain test MATIC from Polygon Faucet
Connect Remix IDE to Polygon Mumbai Testnet

2. Contract Configuration

Import OpenZeppelin and Chainlink dependencies
Initialize price feed contract address:
address public priceFeed = 0xAB594600376Ec9fD91F8e885dADF0CE036862dE0; // MATIC/USD
Set Aave Pool address for yield generation
