Data sources

• Snapshot GraphQL — off-chain proposals and votes for 50 monitored DAOs, polled every 5 minutes.
• Tally API — on-chain Governor proposals (Compound, Uniswap, ENS, Arbitrum, Optimism, Aave), so we cover DAOs that vote on-chain rather than via Snapshot.
• DeFiLlama & CoinGecko — DAO treasury USD value (daily) and governance-token prices (every 6 hours).
• ENS & Karma — names and third-party reputation scores layered onto top delegate profiles.
• No proprietary data — everything we use is public, free, and reproducible.

Democracy Score formula

Score 0-100 = weighted sum of five components, recomputed daily:

• participation × 0.25
• powerDistribution × 0.25 (1 - Gini)
• proposalDiversity × 0.15 (unique authors)
• delegateAccountability × 0.15
• manipulationResistance × 0.20

Alert types

• 🐳 Whale vote — single address ≥5% of total VP. Severity by % (info / warning / critical).
• ⚡ Last-minute swing — leading choice flips in the final 10% of voting window.
• ⚠ Quorum risk — active proposal with <80% of quorum and >75% of window elapsed.
• 📉 Score drop — DAO Democracy Score loses ≥5 points day-over-day.
• 🤝 Coordinated voting — 3+ addresses with similar VP voting identically inside the same hour.
