In this post, we'll walk you through the three phases of the coming Aave Delegate Campaign and provide clear instructions on how you can make sure your voice is heard and your vote is counted. Make sure you’re familiar with each delegate’s Delegate Initiative before participating. We’ll use the initiative to assess their participation in governance during and after the campaign. Before we get into the details, a quick reminder that this is still a pilot, so things are a little more clunk...

This is the first article in a series where we analyse voting power dynamics in DAOs. As is widely acknowledged, most DAO governance decisions are made by large voters, leaving little room for smaller voters to make a difference. But just how much influence do whales have? We dug into 100 of the most recent proposals from the top 60 DAOs to crunch the numbers. How unbalanced is the distribution of voters? Are large voting power holders aligned with minority voters? Would proposals outcomes ha...

DAOs are considered a valuable innovation for institutional design. DAO Governance, however, is regarded by most as Hobbesian—wild in character, with weak alignment among participants—or decentralization theatre—with a small group of wealthy elites standing behind the curtain pulling the strings. This characterization is probably unfair for all DAOs, but considering the worst case is helpful if we want robust solutions.Weakly-alignedThe most common complaints of weakly-aligned DAO Governance ...

Over the past four weeks, the Butter team has been working on setting up a three-month Delegation Campaign at Aave. 👔 We're delighted that 13 delegates are standing for candidacy – and we'd like to introduce them! Some of these delegates are already well-known, while others are up-and-coming. Some are already deeply involved in Aave, while others have spent time as delegates or contributors in other protocols. The goal of this pilot was to increase the pool of delegates tokenholder...

Hi, we’re Butter. We’re building a DAO that improves DAO governance as a participant in DAO governance. You can learn more about our approach and the rationale for this campaign here and in our original Aave governance forum post here. Below we detail our first step towards launching Butter: A 3-month incentivized delegate campaign at Aave. To summarize, the campaign tests the effect of incentives on (i) who chooses to become a delegate and (ii) their behaviour once they are active in governa...
