The Intuition Fee Proxy: my first paid DAO contract

The Intuition Fee Proxy Factory is a first for me: a paid contract with a DAO in the Intuition ecosystem, rather than one of my own projects. Different stakes, different muscle.

The brief

Any business launching on Intuition needs two things: a way to prove its engagement metrics on-chain, and a way to handle fee collection. The job is a factory that spins up proxies on Intuition's MultiVault to do exactly that, packaged as contracts, an SDK, Safe transaction tooling, and a webapp, with a Forge-based deployment flow.

What's different about paid work

When it's your own project, the spec lives in your head and you can change it at will. Building to a DAO's requirements is the opposite: the spec is the contract, and "I'd have done it differently" isn't the point. That constraint is clarifying. It forces decisions you'd otherwise keep deferring.

Where it bites

Upgradeability. The factory uses the UUPS proxy pattern, which means the upgrade path is the design. Get the storage layout or the authorization wrong and you've shipped a footgun that's expensive to walk back. Add Safe multisig flows on top and the careful part isn't the feature code, it's everything around how it gets deployed and changed safely.

Why it matters to me

It's proof the on-chain reputation thinking has a commercial edge: businesses will pay to make their metrics legible and verifiable. That's the same thread running through Sofia and ARP: legible, on-chain truth, pointed at a concrete, paid use case.
