Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when working within Badger DAO’s EVM multisig processes or examining its documented Python and Safe-tooling setup.
Who it is for
- Badger DAO contributors working with the DAO’s EVM multisig operations.
- Developers evaluating a Python-based starting point for another DAO’s EVM multisig workflow.
Documented uses
- Set up the repository’s Python environment and access Brownie.
- Support governance and administrative multisig tasks, including vault and strategy parameter changes and timelock transactions.
- Support controller operations such as internal system calls and emission-schedule changes.
Requirements & limits
The repository is public and licensed under AGPL-3.0.
- The repository is built around Badger DAO’s configuration and procedures; reuse by another DAO requires adapting both.
- The recommended setup uses Poetry and Git submodules, with pip requirements offered as an alternative.
- The README documents platform-specific setup issues for macOS OpenSSL and Apple M1/M2 systems.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Install the repository with Poetry
Set up the repository’s documented Python environment and access Brownie from its virtual environment.
Before you start
- Poetry
- Python version suitable for the repository
- The Badger-Finance/badger-multisig repository
Steps
Run
poetry installfrom the repository.Run the command below.
git submodule update --init --recursive --progressEnter the Poetry environment with
poetry shell.Run
browniefrom within that environment; useexitor Ctrl-D to leave.
Expected outcome
The README describes an installed Poetry environment with Brownie available inside it.
Guide limitations
- The README notes that a missing Python version may require pyenv, depending on the setup.
- It flags possible OpenSSL installation issues on macOS and additional challenges on M1/M2 Macs.
