🌳Beta version

Enhancing the EtherScore DAO Model

The Beta version introduces several features designed to refine and improve the EtherScore DAO model. While the Alpha version was a solid initial step towards establishing on-chain reputations, the next phase involves more precise and nuanced data.

Goals for Refinement

Our primary goal is to create a more dynamic and accurate reputation system that aligns with the diverse interests of communities. We aim to:

  1. Improve Badge Accuracy: By refining the criteria and weights for badges, we can better capture the nuances of user activities and contributions. This ensures that each badge accurately reflects the value and effort of the actions it represents.

  2. Enhance Community Alignment: Tailoring badge weights to different community interests ensures that the reputation system aligns with what each community values most, whether it's trading activity, governance participation, or other metrics.

  3. Promote Balanced Participation: By adjusting badge weights, we can incentivize a broader range of activities, encouraging users to engage in diverse actions that benefit the overall ecosystem. This helps create more balanced and active communities.

By focusing on these goals, we aim to create a more flexible and inclusive model that accurately reflects the diverse activities within the Web3 ecosystem.


Planned Improvements

Voting Power Based on Categories

In the Beta version, each badge will belong to at least one category, describing the type of DApps associated with the badge (e.g., DEX, Social, Lending). This categorization enables us to assign different weights to each category. For instance, a badge from the DEX category might grant +1 voting power, while a badge from the Airdrop category could grant +2 voting power due to its higher difficulty. DAO discussions will help balance these weights across categories, ensuring fairness and relevance.

Voting Power Based on Categories and Multi-Levels

Badges will evolve to include multiple levels based on specific criteria. For example, a Uniswap Swapper badge could have levels for 1 swap, 10 swaps, and 50 swaps. Users achieving Level 1 of a badge can progress to higher levels as they meet additional requirements. This approach ensures that user activity is more accurately representedβ€”e.g., a user staking $1 of ETH for one day will not receive the same badge as a user staking $1000 for two years.

This multi-level system significantly improves the accuracy of on-chain reputations by providing more detailed data. Additionally, by incorporating these detailed reputations into the voting power system, we ensure that voting power is more accurately distributed based on user activity and contributions. This refinement aims to balance the influence within the DAO, making the governance process more equitable and reflective of the community’s true engagement.
