DAOs have had historically complex participation processes. From widely-dispersed proposal information spread across multiple channels to disjointed voting procedures, even the most advanced community members struggle to properly participate in their DAO’s management.

Now there’s a better way, Introducing Messari Governor.

Messari Governor empowers seamless governance participation across protocol & communities through data, context, and Web3 integrations. The platform ensures users never miss a major proposal or vote while also providing additional context and analysis on each proposal. Our latest offering removes the complexity and friction of current governance processes by providing a unified platform for users to access all relevant information and decision-making tools they need as active project participants.

Messari Governor makes it easy to keep track and participate in governance, all on one platform:

Track Proposals

Track proposals across protocols and communities with Messari Governor. The platform standardizes proposal statuses to make it easy to quickly identify active and upcoming votes across all tracked governances all on one page. Users can quickly scan proposals across dozens of governances, making it easy to stay up to date on all governance activity.

Follow Governance Decisions

Follow the entire governance decision-making process on Messari Governor’s Proposal Pages. Our Proposal Pages centralize all relevant information from the initial forum discussion to the eventual on-chain execution to provide a real-time, detailed and accurate picture of a governance’s lifecycle, allowing users to keep up with forum discussions for every step of the proposal process.

Vote & Delegate

Messari Governor allows you to vote and delegate without ever leaving our interface. Users can easily participate by connecting to your non-custodial wallets such as Metamask, Coinbase Wallet, and wallet gateway provider Wallet Connect.

Track Proposals

Keeping up with all of the proposals each governance has in action can be difficult. With Governor’s proposal tracker you can quickly scan proposals across all supported governances all on one screen. To get a snapshot of all of the proposals and actions most important to you, simply utilize our filters feature to further customize your view by governances, status, importance, and a variety of additional categories.

Proposals are categorized and ranked by importance to help you cut through the noise and participate when it matters most. The proposal tracker allows you to quickly review the lifecycle of a proposal through chronologically organized tabs that include preliminary discussions, upcoming votes, active votes, queued, and completed, making it easy to get up to speed on community feedback and support, and other bits of decision-making information.

Follow Governance Decisions

Governance happens on a multitude of places like Discord, Telegram, voting portals, multisigs, and more, making it almost impossible to track the entirety of the decision-making process behind a proposal.

Messari Governor’s individual proposal pages centralize all the relevant information from the initial forum discussion to the eventual on-chain execution to provide you a real-time, detailed, and accurate picture of what is happening, step-by-step.

On a single proposal page, you can see each phase of the proposal process in chronological order, voting frameworks, summary, and more. You can view each phase of the governance lifecycle to better familiarize yourself with community sentiment, and other details to provide the most in-depth context to the proposal.

Relevant information is centralized from the initial forum discussion to the eventual on-chain execution to provide the most in-depth context to the proposal. For added clarity, our team of analysts spend time outlining all the important information, so users don’t have to. Save hours of research by accessing our individual proposal pages that allow you to jump through all the phases of a proposal with ease.

Vote & Delegate

Now that you have context and information, it’s time to help steer the outcome of the proposals. Our voting and delegating system provides a seamless process for you to cast or delegate your vote through comprehensive voting information, including voting timelines, current results, and your own voting power.

Governor even makes the voting and delegation actions easy. You can simply vote and delegate without ever leaving our interface by connecting your non-custodial wallets such as MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, and Wallet Connect, a wallet gateway provider.

Messari Governor makes instant participation easy and seamless for beginners and experts alike.

At Launch, Messari Governor will support Snapshot, Governor Alpha, and Governor Bravo frameworks as well as 30+ protocols and communities including Uniswap, SushiSwap, Compound, OlympusDAO, and The Graph. Users can access the platform without an account but will be able to vote and delegate by connecting their wallet which will initially include MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, and Wallet Connect, a wallet gateway provider. Through the platform, users have immediate access to proposal trackers and pages ahead of future offerings including governance participant profiles, treasury trackers, and governance events calendar which will be released in 2022.

As a framework and protocol-agnostic platform, additional governance frameworks and communities are scheduled for integration to broaden and empower participation across hundreds of protocols and communities.
