Nouns on nouns on nouns

newsletter.tally.xyz

Welcome back to the Tally Newsletter, a weekly publication focused on DeFi and DAO governance. We’ll keep you updated on key proposals, procedural changes, newly launched voting systems, and shifting power dynamics in the Tally ecosystem. We’ll also recommend the most important reads and listens of the week to ensure you’re an informed citizen of web3.

I’m coolhorsegirl, a DeFi native and the newest member of Tally’s newsletter collective. With prior experience at Index Coop, I’m interested in DAO governance and general DeFi innovation aimed at maximizing decentralization. In this issue, we’ll cover active, on-chain proposals from:

  • Compound

  • Nouns DAO

  • Ampleforth

  • Silo

  • Code4rena

  • DegenX Ecosystem

⌛️ On-chain Proposals

On-chain DAOs are decentralized autonomous organizations that operate entirely on the blockchain, using smart contracts and other blockchain-based technologies for its operations and decision-making processes. Tally believes that true DAOs operate on-chain.
