What is DAO Voting ?
A DAO, or “Decentralized Autonomous Organization” is a community-led entity with no central authority. It is fully autonomous and transparent.
Community members create proposals about the future operations of the protocol and then come together to vote on each proposal. Proposals that achieve some predefined level of consensus are then accepted and enforced by the rules instantiated within the smart contract.
Whats Our(Airdrop Seeker) Benefit in this ?
DAO voting is the basis of decentralization and DAO voters are refered as the real backbone of community led organizations in crypto.
A lot of new projects give token airdrops airdrop to existing DAO Voters of Uniswap DAO, Curve DAO, Aave DAO in order to acquire these users and make them their community.
So, DAO voting = Airdrops,
Some recent examples:
1️⃣ Optimism $OP airdrop multiplier for DAO voters.
2️⃣ Voltz_xyz airdropped Voltz NFT to $UNI voters
3️⃣ EllipsisFi $EPS to CRV voters.
4️⃣ Velodrome $VELO to CRV voters.
How to be a DAO Voter?
To be a DAO Voter, we need to hold or stake the governance token of the project and then you will be eligible for voting.
