Where DAO Sentinel
is heading.
What we shipped, what we're wiring up now, and the multi-year arc — from a free Snapshot watchdog to the canonical transparency layer for on-chain governance.
Foundation· shipped
Snapshot data pipeline
Proposals and votes for the top 50 DAOs ingested every 5 minutes via Snapshot GraphQL hub, with full vote history indexed per proposal.
Democracy Score (0-100)
Gini-based power distribution + 4 more axes (turnout, proposal diversity, delegate accountability, manipulation resistance). Recomputed daily, history archived.
AI plain-English summaries
Gemini 2.5 Flash via OpenRouter explains every proposal in 3-5 sentences with impact + risk level. Cost ~$0.0001 per proposal.
Whale & swing detection
Real-time alerts for >5% VP single-wallet votes, last-minute swings, quorum risks, and coordinated voting patterns.
Cross-DAO delegate tracker
Cross-DAO delegate profiles with participation, ENS resolution, Karma reputation, and response-time metrics.
Live SSE alert feed
Postgres LISTEN/NOTIFY → Server-Sent Events → browser. Whale alerts ping the orbital hero feed within a second of detection.
Distribution· now

Sustainability· Q3 2026
Public-goods grant funding
Funded by the ecosystem, free for the ecosystem: Arbitrum LTIPP, Optimism RetroPGF, ENS Public Goods, Gitcoin. No subscriptions, no paywalls — ever.
DAO treasury watchlists
Monitor every DAO where you hold tokens and get a cross-portfolio governance digest — free for all users.
Voting-power simulator
"If I delegate 100k tokens to address X, how often would my position swing the vote?" — historical replay against the last 12 months.
Self-host & open data exports
Docs to run your own instance, plus bulk dataset snapshots so researchers can work offline. Public infrastructure should be forkable.
Scale· Q4 2026
On-chain governance (Tally)
Tally Governor proposals for Compound, Uniswap, ENS, Arbitrum, Optimism & Aave now ingest alongside Snapshot — on-chain DAOs are covered.
Coordinated voting clustering

Foundation-treasury tracking
Sister product for ecosystem foundations and DAO LLCs — extends watchdog mission beyond on-chain DAOs.
