Proposal To Improve Governance Discussion and voting processes with Commonwealth

Voting ended over 3 years agoSucceeded

Overview

Blockchain at Berkeley is partnering with Commonwealth to migrate Compound governance discussions to the Commonwealth platform. We are excited to support more transparency in the governance process by sponsoring this proposal on Commonwealth's behalf. This proposal aims to outline a plan to improve Compound’s current community governance discussion and voting processes. Adopting Commonwealth as the governance forum for Compound will increase governance discussion, engagement and transparency.

Commonwealth consolidates multiple community tools into one place by offering a fully crypto-native forum and voting interfaces (polls, Snapshot, and on-chain governance) all in one platform. Commonwealth is completely free to use and will soon be fully-decentralized.

We respectfully submit this proposal for your consideration, and we are looking forward to your questions and feedback.

Upcoming Commonwealth Product Initiatives

Notifications
- We are building out more robust in-app, email, and push notifications. EPNS has already begun deploying governance notifications for Commonwealth activity.
Moderation
- We are enabling more complex community moderation functionality. This includes time-bans, rule logic for community roles, and spam prevention methods.
Common API
- Our soon to be launched API enables other tools and projects to tap into the social data from the Commonwealth platform.
Common App Store
- Roll out an app store offering full composability of DAO tools within a single interface. This will enable DAOs to process payroll, manage their treasury, create POAPs, etc. without needing to flip applications.
