Functional Specification: Automated Token & Stablecoin Payments via SAFE Multisig

Functional Specification: Automated Token & Stablecoin Payments via SAFE Multisig

Project Name:
CollabBerry Token-Powered Payment Automation
Author:
CollabBerry Tech Product Specialist
Last Updated:
May 30, 2025
1. Overview
This specification outlines a new feature set within the CollabBerry ecosystem that enables organizations to automate peer payments using:
  • Stablecoins (e.g. USDC, DAI)
  • DAO-native tokens (e.g. $ORG token, $SEED token)
Organizations can use their SAFE multisig treasury to fund these payments based on contribution-weighted metrics provided by CollabBerry's existing TPs (Trust Points) round distribution primitives.
Goals
  • Automate monthly Monetary Contribution (stable) payments based on collabberry compensation protocol.
    • To deploy a payment button in Collabberry UI
    • To integrate payment trigger with Safe multisig.
  • Automate monthly distribution of generic token (assuming a community treasury in Safe Multisig) to represent the result distribution of TPs of a P2P agreement review round.
    • To identify what are the different options.
      • e.g. Total Custom token will be a representation of the percentage distributed that round.
      • e.g. To base distribution on Expected (according to agreement) token budget of 100%+PAR, allowing remanent budget to keep being treasured in community vault.
    • To deploy a distribute [generic] token button.
    • To integrate distribution trigger with Safe multisig
Secondary Goals
  • Support payments in both stablecoins and custom ERC-20 DAO tokens.
  • Integrate with SAFE multisigs for secure payment execution.
  • Ensure transparency and enabling admin-based co-governance over payment flows.
2. Feature Scope
Core Features
FeatureDescription
Trust-Weighted Allocation EngineLeverages TPs distribution data to calculate proportional payment shares.
Stablecoin Payment AutomationGenerates and routes stablecoin payment instructions to the organization's SAFE multisig.
DAO Token Payment AutomationAllows organizations to allocate a fixed monthly DAO token budget and distribute proportionally to TPs.
SAFE Multisig IntegrationEnables submission of payment transactions to Gnosis SAFE multisigs via CollabBerry’s UI.
UI Layer for Payment RequestsFrontend flow where org admins can review and trigger payment cycles, with preview and export capabilities.
3. User Stories
🎯 As an Org Admin...
  • I want to define a monthly token budget (stablecoin or DAO token) so I can distribute it fairly based on contributions.
  • I want CollabBerry to calculate and prepare payment requests, so I can easily approve them in my SAFE multisig.
  • I want to transparently communicate how much each contributor is receiving and why.
✨ As a Contributor...
  • I want to receive payments in either stablecoins and/or community tokens, aligned with my trust contribution.
    • Stablecoin to be distributed according to Monetary compensation param in agreement.
    • Community/generic token to be distributed according to TPs received during the given round.
  • I want visibility into how my share was calculated.
  • I want to trust that payments are secure and based on community signals.
4. Functional Requirements
4.1 Inputs
  • From CollabBerry:
    • Team Points distribution for the round (e.g. Alice: 23%, Bob: 42%, Carol: 35%)
    • Fiat value intended to be distributed
  • From Org Admin via UI:
    • Monthly budget (either in stablecoin or DAO token)
    • Selected token type (e.g. DAI, $ORG)
    • Token contract address (for custom ERC-20)
    • Safe multisig address (where funds reside)
4.2 Process
  1. Payment Request Creation
      • System computes distribution amount per wallet based on TP %
      • Prepares a transaction bundle for multisig execution (ERC-20 transfers)
  1. Preview & Approval Flow
      • Admin reviews the proposed transaction(s) via CollabBerry UI
      • UI links to Gnosis SAFE app with prefilled transactions for signing
  1. Execution & Confirmation
      • After SAFE multisig approves, funds are sent
      • Contributors receive confirmation and breakdown
5. Technical Architecture
5.1 Components
ComponentRole
CollabBerry BackendComputes allocations, stores configurations, generates transaction payloads
SAFE SDKInterface to create and send transactions to Gnosis SAFE
ERC-20 Helper LibraryValidates token contracts, formats transfer calls
UI LayerAdmin portal to define budgets, trigger rounds, and preview SAFE transactions
5.2 Token Distribution Logics
Two logics for erc20 ownership/DAO token distribution have been identified.
Logic 1: fixed monthly budget
Let:
  • B = monthly budget (in tokens)
  • T_i = team point share for user i (normalized to 1)
      • Then:
  • P_i = B × T_i → Payment amount for user i
Edge Cases:
  • Rounding errors (handled via floor rounding, unallocated dust returned to treasury)
  • User wallet missing → exclude and notify admin
 
Logic 2: Variable monthly budget
Let:
  • MaxB = B*(1+PAR)
  • R = rate among DAO tokens & TPs
  • ERC20_i = T_i x R → Payment amount for user i
6. SAFE Multisig Integration
Integration Options:
  • Transaction Creation via SAFE SDK (preferred)
  • Support both Web UI and Deep-Linking into Gnosis Safe Apps
Requirements:
  • Token must be held in the multisig wallet
  • Wallets of recipients must be ERC-20 compatible
  • Multisig must approve each transaction batch (or admin can manually trigger)
7. UX/UI Considerations
Admin Dashboard
  • Payment round builder
  • Token selector (stablecoin or custom)
  • Token balance check from SAFE
  • Transaction preview & download (CSV, JSON)
  • SAFE approval progress status
Contributor Portal
  • Personal payment breakdown
  • Historic rounds
  • Fiat equivalent display (USD, EUR)
8. Non-Functional Requirements
CategoryRequirement
SecurityTransactions are read-only until multisig signs. Admin credentials required to initiate.
ScalabilitySupports batch distributions up to 200 recipients per round.
TransparencyAll transaction payloads auditable and exportable.
InteroperabilityCompatible with Gnosis SAFE, standard ERC-20 tokens, and common stablecoins.
9. Future Considerations
  • Streaming Payments (e.g. Superfluid integration)
  • Batch Gas Optimization
  • On-chain Merkle Claim Model for high-frequency low-trust environments
  • Reputation Boosting for Token-Based Recognition
10. Open Questions
  • Will CollabBerry manage allowance setup for DAO tokens or require org admins to pre-approve?
  • Should we support automatic SAFE batch execution for single-owner multisigs?
  • How do we handle taxes or compliance messaging for fiat-equivalent stablecoin payments?
