Democratic Governance

[pifragile]

Project Abstract

Encointer has started the development of a pallet that facilitates democratic voting based on Proof-Of-Personhood and we would like to continue working on this pallet. We believe that this work can be a basis for Proof-Of-Personhood based governance protocols for varios applications such as DAOs or parachains, which could benefit from improved legitimacy when using a democratic over a plutocratic design. We are interested in building this project as it builds on top of our expertise with Proof-Of-Personhood and it lays an important foundation to facilitate non-plutocratic governance in Web3.
