🤿 deep dive
Tally is rolling out something cool for DAO decision-making: optimistic governance. think: a governance system that makes things faster and more efficient without losing the essence of collective decision-making.
so, here's the gist: in optimistic governance, a small, trusted group within the DAO proposes changes. these get fast-tracked unless the wider membership steps in to veto. it's a great way to balance quick action and community control.
benefits? sure, here's a quick rundown:
speed and efficiency in decision-making
less bureaucracy, more action
maintains a balance of power and oversight
encourages active participation and oversight
reduces proposal congestion
baked in are all the essentials like council NFT contracts for membership, ERC-20 contracts for veto power, and a dual governor system for proposal handling. oh, and a timelock contract for keeping assets safe.
