Chore Wheel
**Chore Wheel** (formerly Mirror) is a DAO platform for housing communities, providing tools for managing labor contributions, behavioral norms, and shared funds.

Implemented as a family of Slack apps, Chore Wheel uses friendly chat-like interfaces and powerful mechanisms to engage residents in community self-governance. In continuous use for over two years, **2,000+ chores have been claimed through the platform since launch,** and we continue to improve.

As a living example of DAO mechanisms, it is a valuable model for other projects to learn from.  We published a **research paper** in May 2024: http://ssrn.com/abstract=4856267

The current implementation runs on a Web2 stack, with plans for a Web3 backend on the horizon. The code was open-sourced under AGPL-3, with subscriptions to a managed service providing long-term sustainability.

Donations will go towards development, education, and marketing to distribute the tools to more communities. **We are poised for growth; your support now would be invaluable.**
