## What it is
The Standard DAO Framework is a set of Solidity smart contracts for creating Decentralized Autonomous Organizations on the Ethereum blockchain, accompanied by a whitepaper. It is explicitly unmaintained and historically notable as the code behind 'The DAO'.

## Use cases
- study the smart contract code behind The DAO
- learn about on-chain organizational governance
- reference historical Solidity token creation and voting contracts
- research DAO security vulnerabilities and the 2016 exploit
- understand DAO design from an academic or legal perspective

## When to choose
- you need a historical reference implementation of an Ethereum DAO
- you are researching blockchain governance or smart contract security history

## When to avoid
- you want to launch a production DAO today
- you need maintained, audited, or modern smart contract tooling
- you expect bug fixes or security updates

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: abandoned
- function: blockchain, security
- domain: blockchain, developer-tools
