Onchain Capital Allocation Handbook: Volume 1 - Innovators Edition
AlloBook: Innovators Edition – Onchain Capital Allocation is a comprehensive guide for those designing the future of onchain coordination. Aimed at advanced users—protocol developers, DAO architects, mechanism designers—this edition moves beyond experimentation to focus on creation, refinement, and innovation.
The book explores how to customize and deploy capital allocation mechanisms using Allo Protocol, diving into composability, modular design, and the nuances of mechanism tuning. It covers design patterns such as matching pools, reputation layers, hybrid voting models, and dynamic funding logic—enabling innovators to adapt allocation systems to their unique goals and community structures.
Unlike introductory resources, this edition assumes a familiarity with core concepts and invites the reader into the design room. It offers insight into mechanism tradeoffs, design tensions, and implementation pathways, drawing on real-world examples and lessons learned across the ecosystem.
Whether you’re designing funding rounds for a protocol treasury, building a grants program, or launching new allocation infrastructure, the Innovators Edition gives you the tools—and the questions—to invent with confidence.
