Description

Lighthouse Labs studies how users govern, allocate capital, and participate on-chain, and builds open protocols intended to make decentralized coordination accountable. Their shipped protocols include objekt.sh (decentralized file storage and site hosting paid via x402), atst.me (ENS-native attestations for social media account ownership), Dispatch (an ENS-focused governance interface with built-in analytics), Harbor (secondary markets for time-locked/vesting token positions), Signals (conviction-weighted, stake-based governance voting), and the Lighthouse App (a mobile-native client for on-chain communities). Alongside these products, they conduct governance research such as the Minimal Viable DAO framework, AI-mapped governance discourse analysis, AI-assisted grant screening, and sub-linear commitment voting for capital allocation. Their work centers on DAOs, foundations, and protocol teams (with heavy emphasis on the ENS ecosystem), and they are exploring how autonomous AI agents will participate in on-chain governance and markets alongside humans.
