Common voting governance in Dao

DAO As a decentralized autonomous organization , It is through voting to maintain internal democracy . Generally speaking ,DAO There will be a pass with voting rights , Members can hold a pass to DAO The governance of . But conventional “ One pass, one vote ” The voting method is obviously inappropriate , As a result, people who hold more passes have more decision-making power , Violation DAO The principle of decentralization .

therefore ,DAO The developers of have come up with many interesting ways to vote , To a certain extent DAO The degree of centralization of , Here we introduce several common types .

Holographic consensus

With DAO The scale of began to expand ,DAO The cost of coordination and governance will also become higher , It becomes unrealistic for all members to vote on every proposal . To solve this problem , DAOstack A new method named “ Holographic consensus ” The voting plan for .

The core of holographic consensus is to set up a mechanism to manage the group's attention , Enable proposals initiated by members to be noticed . The main goal of this program is to enable small groups to express the will of the public . So , DAOstack An additional “ Attention circulation ”——GEN.

hold GEN Member users of cannot use it for voting , But you can bet on any proposal . The proposal passed , Members get more GEN; The proposal did not receive enough DEN when , Will fail , Members will also lose this part GEN. In this way, holographic consensus establishes a prediction market parallel to the voting mechanism . by DAO A framework with strong extensibility is established .

Of course , Holographic consensus also has drawbacks , It has certain limitations in correctly selecting proposals worthy of attention , Sometimes, some high-profile proposals are screened out , And ignore more valuable proposals . For all that ,DAOstack Successfully established a forecast market and DAO Organic combination scheme , At present, there are many large DAO In this way of governance .

Faith vote

This is a voting mechanism based on voters' beliefs . Members can vote on a proposal at any time , You can also withdraw at any time . The characteristic of belief voting is , Whether it's a vote or a withdrawal , The voting effect of members will last for a period of time ： After the vote , The voting utility will decelerate , Finally, a maximum value is reached ; And after the withdrawal , Will show an accelerated decrease , Finally disappeared .

This kind of voting , On the basis of voting rights , Time function is also added , Changed the way you vote , Users will no longer be asked to vote on a proposal at the same time , It also won't let users vote for proposals they don't know or like .

However, the limitation of belief voting is that it cannot be applied to all types of decisions , At present, budget decision-making is commonly used .

Weighted voting and reputation voting

because DAO The certificate in has the function of value circulation , Have certain financial attributes , This makes it possible for the pass to appear in DAO Outside of governance, lending and other financial fields , In order to prevent attackers from obtaining a large number of passes through the financial market DAO Launch governance attacks , quite a lot DAO organization Both adopt weighted voting to avoid .

There are many ways of weighting , For example, the duration of holding the pass 、 The lock duration of the user, etc . Reputation voting is a more thorough weighting scheme . It decouples the financial value of the token from the governance power , Make it more difficult to finance the pass , Thus reducing the risk of governance attacks .

“ reputation ” It is a kind of non transferable and circulating integral , The user can hold or lock the warehouse or DAO Make a contribution to get . meanwhile , Reputation vote , Those who have the right to vote are “ reputation ”, Not pass . It is worth noting that , Users do not have complete ownership of the reputation , For example, when the user makes a damage DAO Acts of common interest , His reputation points may be deducted .

There are already many DAO The governance framework adopts the scheme of reputation voting , To a large extent, it solves the problem of governance attacks . Fairness and other issues .DAO You can even define how reputation rules are calculated , Achieve each DAO The Organization recognizes and understands “ democracy ”.
