Messari launches governance aggregator "Messari Governor" to simplify DAO participation process
The encryption analysis organization Messari has a chapter dedicated to analyzing DAO in "Crypto Theses for 2022", and predicts that just like 2020 is to DeFi and 2021 is to NFT, 2022 will be the year of DAO, and DAO will be in the next few years. Years change our lives.
At present, there are various types of DAOs, including social DAOs, collection DAOs, project-based DAOs, and DAOs transformed from companies. DAO members make group decisions through proposals, voting, etc., and contributors usually receive token rewards.
The DAO participation process has always been complicated, from widely dispersed proposal information distributed in multiple channels to disjointed voting procedures, it is difficult for even experienced community members to fully participate in the management of DAO.
Messari recently launched a governance aggregatorMessari Governor, designed to simplify the DAO participation process. Messari Governor enables seamless participation in DAOs across protocols and communities through data, contextual content, and Web3 integration. It provides users with a unified platform where users can access DAO-related information and decision-making tools. The platform ensures that users never miss any major proposals or votes, while also providing additional context and analysis for each proposal. Messari Governor aims to minimize complexity and frictional costs in the DAO participation process.
Messari Governor simplifies the DAO participation process mainly through the following three aspects:
1. Track proposals across protocols and communities
The Proposal Tracker centralizes supported proposals across different protocols and communities into one page, standardizing proposal status for easy and quick identification of all tracked governance activity and upcoming votes. Users can further customize the view by status, importance, and various other categories by using the filter feature.
Proposals are sorted and ranked by importance, and users can quickly scan dozens of proposals in governance. The Proposal Tracker allows users to quickly view the life cycle of proposals through chronologically organized category tags, including preliminary discussions, upcoming votes, active votes, queued and completed, making it easy to understand information such as community feedback and support .
2. Track the entire decision-making process
The process of DAO participation and governance is mostly scattered in multiple places, such as Discord, Discourse, Telegram, voting platforms, multi-signature, etc., and the information is fragmented, making it difficult to track the entire decision-making process behind a proposal. Messari Governor centralizes all relevant information from initial forum discussions to eventual on-chain execution, providing real-time, detailed and accurate step-by-step instructions that provide in-depth context for proposals. On a single proposal page, users can view each stage of the proposal process in chronological order, voting framework, summary, and more.
3. Voting and delegation
Messari Governor's Voting and Proxy System provides users with a seamless process to cast or proxy a vote with comprehensive voting information including voting schedule, current results and user voting rights. It also connects to non-custodial wallets such as MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet and wallet gateway provider Wallet Connect, allowing users to vote and delegate without leaving the interface.
At launch, Messari Governor will support the Snapshot, Governor Alpha, and Governor Bravo frameworks as well as more than 30 protocols and communities, including Uniswap, SushiSwap, Compound, OlympusDAO, and The Graph, among others.Users can access the platform without an account and can vote and delegate by connecting their wallets. Its officials stated that more governance frameworks and community integrations are also advancing to authorize and expand the participation of the agreement and the community, while Messari Governor will also add more new features.
DAOs are considered the next evolution of organizations, but its tooling is still in its infancy. The launch of Messari Governor caters well to the needs of DAO participants, and with the support of Messari, its future is worth looking forward to.
