# Matchmaker Governance Developer This page is meant as an introduction for developers planning to use our DAO MatchMaker governance feature. For a user focused version please check: {% content-ref url="matchmaker-governance-user" %} [matchmaker-governance-user](https://docs.muesliswap.com/dao/matchmaker-governance-user) {% endcontent-ref %} This documentation explains our open-source DAO infrastructure and how other projects can use it to build **on-chain governance with Batcher oversight**. Our product is designed to help DAOs move beyond simple voting and discussion. Instead of votes being only advisory, governance decisions in our system directly control **who is allowed to operate important infrastructure**. In our first use case, this infrastructure is **matchmakers (also called batchers)**, but the same approach can be applied to many other roles. The core idea is simple:\ **operational power should be granted by the DAO, limited in time, and always revocable through continued voting**. To achieve this, our infrastructure issues **time-limited on-chain licenses** that are controlled by DAO governance. These licenses are real blockchain assets and can be checked by smart contracts or off-chain services. If a license expires or is not renewed, the operator automatically loses their rights without any centralized intervention. Our open-source release consists of two main parts. The first part is a **DAO governance dashboard**, which provides a complete frontend for interacting with on-chain governance. The second part is a **license governance framework**, which shows how governance decisions can mint, renew, and expire licenses in a fully decentralized way. #### Repositories The **DAO Governance Dashboard** is available here and should be used from the `release/matchmaker` branch: [https://github.com/MuesliSwapTeam/dao-governance-dashboard/tree/release/matchmaker](https://github.com/MuesliSwapTeam/dao-governance-dashboard/tree/release/matchmaker?utm_source=chatgpt.com) This repository contains the frontend part of the DAO monitoring setup. It includes wallet connection, proposal creation, voting, staking, treasury views, and dedicated pages for matchmaker governance and monitoring. The **Batcher / Matchmaker DAO Governance** repository is available here: [https://github.com/MuesliSwapTeam/batcher-dao-governance](https://github.com/MuesliSwapTeam/batcher-dao-governance?utm_source=chatgpt.com) This repository contains the smart contracts, off-chain transaction code, tests, and the monitoring backend that together power license issuance and renewal. #### Live example (Preprod) A working deployment of our product is available on Cardano Preprod: This live version shows how the dashboard, governance contracts, license system, and monitoring all work together.
