Introducing Factory Labs

Hello everyone,

My name is Nick, Founder and CEO of Factory Labs and ZKSync delegate.

Factory Labs is a London-based Blockchain and AI research and development company. We are focused on developing tools that enhance collective intelligence and coordination systems. Our team bridges research and innovation with practical, scalable governance tools, empowering communities to make better decisions.

We are a team of experienced scientists, engineers, and governance practitioners dedicated to rigorous design practices, security-mindedness, systems thinking, and Ethereum’s core principles.

Our Mission

  • Advance professional DAO delegation practices by designing and building decentralized systems while living the DAO values.
  • Build governance-minimized and automation-first systems that reduce overhead and unlock DAO hyper-efficiency.
  • Develop data-driven tools that surface emergent consensus and strengthen governance decision-making.
  • Create AI and blockchain-integrated tools for transparent, fair, and scalable governance.

Current ZKSync Work

We are currently investigating automation in the ZKSync Ignite Program and developing the technical design for the Catalyst Program.

Our pending report presents a technical analysis of the ZKSync Ignite Program’s operational framework, conducted through transaction analysis, technical systems analysis and stakeholder interviews. As commissioned by Ignite, we are evaluating automation opportunities within the program’s infrastructure and providing targeted recommendations for technical improvements with a view to supporting the advancement of the TPP framework for the Token Assembly.

FactoryDAO: Modular Infrastructure for DAOs

Factory Labs offers an extensive DAO infrastructure suite, encompassing BANK, LAUNCH, YIELD, MINT, and INFLUENCE decentralised applications, which we have been developing over a number of years. Each module addresses a core need for DAOs, their token economics and their governance processes.

Core Infrastructure Modules

FactoryDAO is a modular framework, and is designed to be used as primitives allowing deep integration with protocol DAO infrastructure:

  1. BANK – Secure token vesting and distribution, token economy hub and treasury primitive.
  2. LAUNCH – Decentralised token launches via auctions and liquidity bootstrapping.
  3. YIELD – Staking pools and yield generation for permissionless and automated network level liquidity formation.
  4. MINT – NFT and SBT issuance with flexible eligibility and pricing for DAO governance identity assets and crowdfunding.
  5. INFLUENCE – Governance and decentralized decision-making system with a focus on reputation-weighted and expert-driven consensus.

Conclusion

FactoryDAO offers a comprehensive toolkit for DAOs to manage their token economies and governance frameworks. By integrating audited, modular components, DAOs can streamline operations while ensuring security, scalability, and flexibility.

We are experts in DAO governance design, technical program management, token economics, and digital transformation work at the edge of emerging technology. Contact us for support on your TPP.
