DAO Voting Mechanism

Token-Based Quorum Voting In this standard method, each token represents one vote, and the proposal passes only if it reaches a minimum quorum.

Quadratic Voting Popularized by MolochDAO, this method requires exponentially more tokens per additional vote, discouraging the wealthiest members from dominating the process.

Holographic Consensus This novel model lets voters “stake” tokens to predict the proposal’s success.

Multi-Sig Voting DAOs like MakerDAO use this system for certain proposals, where a set number of “signatures” from trusted members are needed for approval.
