Revolutionary V0 Formula:
vote_weight = (token_balance × 0.4) + (dao_reputation × 0.4) + (verification_score × 0.2)
Components:
- Cross-chain token holdings (40%) - Your tokens across multiple chains via 1inch Balance API
- DAO-specific reputation (40%) - Earned through participation and contributions
- Verification completeness (20%) - Twitter (30%) + GitHub (40%) + Email (30%)
- Historical voting patterns - Consistency and engagement metrics
- House multipliers - Each DAO house can have different weight multipliers
Self-balancing ecosystem where good governance is rewarded:
- Equal Weight Feedback Voting - Every member gets 1 vote for feedback (regardless of tokens/reputation)
- Reputation Adjustment Algorithm:
new_reputation = old_reputation + (feedback_score × participation_bonus) - Proposal Quality Scoring - Track proposal success rates over time
- Participation Rewards - Active voters gain reputation through engagement
- Accountability Loop - Feedback creates accountability for decision quality and long-term thinking
Contextual reputation preventing farming while rewarding expertise:
- Isolated reputation scores - Different reputation per DAO (prevents gaming)
- Domain-specific expertise - DeFi vs Gaming vs Social DAOs have different weights
- House-based progression - Reputation grows within specific DAO houses
- Cross-DAO verification transfer - Base identity proofs work across all DAOs
- Default reputation initialization - Start with 100 points per DAO

5-step accountability system:
-
Proposal Creation & Weighted Voting
- Members vote YES/NO/ABSTAIN with calculated weights based on reputation + token holdings + verification
-
Feedback Phase
- Equal weight voting (1 vote per member) on proposal outcome satisfaction
- Prevents wealth concentration in feedback, ensures democratic accountability
-
Reputation & Merit Adjustment
- If proposal passed + positive feedback: YES voters gain reputation & Blockscout merits
- If proposal passed + negative feedback: YES voters lose reputation
- Similar logic for failed proposals - encourages thoughtful voting
-
Weight Recalculation
- Updated reputation affects voting weight for next proposals
- Creates dynamic, evolving governance power based on decision quality
-
Accountability Loop
- Feedback creates accountability for decision quality and incentivizes long-term thinking
- Self-balancing ecosystem where good governance is continuously rewarded
3-step gamified reputation building:
-
DAO Creates Quest
- Twitter actions (follow, retweet, like specific content)

// Verification Score Breakdown:
verification_score =
twitter_score * 0.3 + github_score * 0.4 + email_score * 0.3;
// House Multiplier (DAO-specific):
final_weight = vote_weight * house_multiplier;Feedback Phase:
- Equal weight voting (1 vote per member) on proposal outcomes
- Democratic accountability regardless of token holdings

new_reputation = old_reputation + feedback_score * participation_bonus;
