DAOmocracy

Inspiration

When I first heard about DAOs, I thought oh my goodness - this is everything. Utopia unlocked. Then I joined CityDAO where I learned that DAO more accurately stands for Dudes Arguing Online...

I have perceived these problems about DAO governance:

Individuals want to be involved in DAO governance, but the number of decisions and amount of information is overwhelming.
Low voter participation leaves collective intelligence potential untapped while creating the potential for abuses by the controlling group .
Control, campaigning, and personalities impact DAO governance more than the collective interest.

These problems inspired DAOmocracy, which is built on two principles:

Decision-making by random delegations
Rewarding individuals for decisions that help the collective

Here are two blog posts I have written about this project: DAOmocracy 1 DAOmocracy 2

What it does

The DAOmocracy dapp in its current stage allows a user to connect wallet, submit a proposal, and view proposals that they have been randomly selected to vote on.

How we built it

I started from Scaffold-Eth-2 and used Chainlink VRF to randomly select the delegates.

Challenges we ran into

This was my first time making a dapp, so it really felt like everything was a challenge lol (except not funny when it was happening). I hit the callback gas limit with VRF when I was experimenting with large sample sizes. I had troubles with linter and websocket as well.
