DAO Index: Exploring Maker DAO's Delegation Network by Charles Adjovu
Continuing with our work on quantitative analyses relevant to DAOs, we are also exploring delegation networks.
We define a delegation network as a network of governance participants where participants delegate their voting power (or governance rights) to another participant to participate in governance matters on their behalf.
Governance participants can be classified as a delegator, delegatee, or both (in the case that a participant can or must delegate to themselves to participate in governance matters).
In this pub, we examined MakerDAO’s delegation network. In Maker DAO, “[d]elegation is an expression of the MKR Holder's trust in the delegate.” Thus, we can say that Maker DAO’s delegation network acts as a trust network.
DAO Index: Measuring Voting Power in Maker DAO with the Banzhaf Power Index by Charles Adjovu
Continuing with our work exploring quantitative analysis methods for DAOs, in particular, the Banzhaf Power Index (BPI), I calculated the BPI for MakerDAO voters in an absolute participation scenario.undefined
Distroid: Developing the Distroid Curator Algorithm for Ranked Feeds based on the Sensemaking Markers by Charles Adjovu
In this pub, I cover our early work developing the Distroid Curator Algorithm (DCA), a feed-ranking algorithm for curating items in the Distroid Catalogue, primarily for use by Distroid curators.
The DCA’s objective is to produce a ranked feed of items that increase understanding of frontier information. We assume that items with higher scores have the potential to provide readers with a greater understanding of frontier information than items with a lower score.
Distroid: Prototyping an LLM-based tool to automate assessing the sensemaking markers by Charles Adjovu
In this pub, I cover my early work developing the an LLM-based tool to automate assessing items curated in the Distroid Catalogue, based on the sensemaking markers in the DCA.
