Ava Labs x CBER Ep 2: Governance of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations

from The Policy Layer · host The Policy Layer

Brett Falk (University of Pennsylvania) and Gerry Tsoukalas (Boston University) discuss voting protocols in Decentralized Autonomous Organizations. Brett Falk (University of Pennsylvania) and Gerry Tsoukalas (Boston University) highlight weaknesses in existing voting protocols. An important point is that many voting protocols weight votes based on token holdings but a voter’s token holdings does not, in general, reflect the level of information that the voter has with regard to a voting proposal. The consequence of this misalignment between a voter’s weight and a voter’s information is suboptimal welfare outcomes.Papers: Token-Weighted Crowdsourcing and Balancing Power in Decentralized Governance
