Factory: deploy new SimpleGovernor instances

[bitfalt]

📋 Description

We need a factory contract that spins up a fresh, minimal DAO (SimpleGovernor) for every user. Each DAO must be isolated, upgrade-free, and configured in one call.

✅ Acceptance Criteria

• Expose create_simple_dao(config: DaoConfig) -> ContractAddress
• Emit SimpleDaoCreated(dao: ContractAddress, creator: ContractAddress, config_hash: felt252)
• Each DAO is a brand-new contract instance (no proxy, no delegate call)
• Unit tests: 100 % coverage for happy path + revert on duplicate salt

I'd like to implement the factory contract for deploying isolated SimpleGovernor DAO instances with comprehensive functionality including a create_simple_dao function that accepts a DaoConfig struct and returns the new contract address while emitting a SimpleDaoCreated event with all relevant parameters. My implementation will ensure each DAO is deployed as a completely new contract instance without any proxy patterns or delegate calls to guarantee true isolation between deployments. I'll implement proper salt handling to prevent duplicate deployments and include thorough unit tests achieving 100% coverage, testing for successful deployments and edge cases like duplicate salt reverts.

Hey @bitfalt,
I'm Wheval — a frontend developer and OnlyDust fellow with experience building and testing Cairo smart contracts.

I’d approach this by writing a factory contract that deploys isolated SimpleGovernor instances using a unique salt, returning the contract address of each instance and emitting a SimpleDaoCreated event with the proper config hash and other relevant parameters.
I’ll make sure each deployment is protected against salt collisions, and I’ll write comprehensive tests to cover both successful deployments and several edge-cases.

I’d love to give this a go!

Hi, maintainer.

Let me take this issue. I have a wealth of experience implementing factory contracts, and am definitely familiar with this project, having done a few issues here.
I will include the create_dao function, make sure it emits events properly, and avoid salt collision by involving timestamps in a poseidon hash, that way the salts can never collide.
I will also cover these functions 100% by unit tests
