Governance Tokens & On-Chain Voting
Governance tokens give holders the power to influence the direction of a protocol through voting on proposals. They represent a key innovation in decentralized decision-making.
- 02
How On-Chain Governance Works
- Proposal Creation: Anyone meeting a token threshold can submit a governance proposal (e.g., changing fees, adding features, allocating treasury funds).
- Discussion Period: Community discusses the proposal off-chain (forums, Discord) and on-chain.
- Voting Period: Token holders vote. Most systems use token-weighted voting (1 token = 1 vote).
- Execution: If quorum is met and the proposal passes, it can be executed - often automatically via smart contract (timelock).
- 03
Voting Mechanisms
- Token-Weighted: More tokens = more votes. Simple but can lead to plutocracy.
- Quadratic Voting: Voting power scales with the square root of tokens used, giving smaller holders more relative influence.
- Conviction Voting: Voting power increases the longer you maintain your vote, preventing snap decisions.
- Optimistic Governance: Proposals pass unless explicitly vetoed within a time window.
- Vote Delegation: Delegating your voting power to a representative who votes on your behalf.
