[Signal Proposal] DAO Governance Evolution - Three-Tier Quorum Framework
AI summary
This proposal suggests changing AavegotchiDAO's governance system from a single, high quorum requirement to a three-tiered system. Currently, all proposals need 7.2 million VP (about 27% of all eligible votes) to pass, which has led to important proposals failing due to lack of participation, not lack of support. The new system would introduce 'Galaxy,' 'Medium,' and 'Smol' tiers with quorum requirements of 20%, 10%, and 5% respectively, based on the proposal's importance and financial impact. The specific financial thresholds for grants and other details will be decided by community polls.
If passed, this change aims to make AavegotchiDAO more efficient by aligning quorum requirements with the significance of proposals, potentially increasing the success rate of important initiatives and reducing voter fatigue. It could empower the community to pass more proposals, but also means less critical proposals will require less overall participation to pass. No specific financial allocations are made in this proposal, as it focuses on structural changes.
