If validators are the beating heart of Polkadot, governance is the brain that keeps it healthy.

A failing governance in Polkadot means a failing ecosystem

3 of 15

PROBLEM

  • There’s a lack of diverse participation in the governance and treasury proposals in the Dotsama ecosystem
  • There’s no real incentive for Dot holders to vote on proposals

4 of 15

SOLUTION

  • Make voting visible and cool
  • Incentivise voting with non-financial rewards, so people vote for the right reason

What is GovernGoofed ?

The GovernGoofed solution consists out of 2 parts:

7 of 15

  • It makes the participation of voting in governance visible, by using existing communities in Polkadot and Kusama�
  • It is a Dapp where people can upload their favourite pfp. The Dapp is a goofmachine that then changes/goofes the pfp according to the amount of votes a user made�
  • By this it leverages the existing communities inside the Polkadot ecosystem to visualise the participation of their members in the Polkadot governance

​

HOW?

​

  • Voters can upload their favourite pfp to a dapp

​

  • The Dapp takes in to account the amount of votes and according to the votes it goofes -> changes the pfp. I.e. 10 votes ‘goofes’ the pfp slightly, 50 votes changes it more, 100 votes ‘goofes’ the pfp drastically

​

  • The pfp’s are interpreted and changed by a trained AI. The AI uses re-occuring features that are recognizable in other goofed NFT’s.�

HOW?

​

  • In case voters are not part of an existing NFT community, they can simply upload any PFP which then will be goofed by the Dapp in the same recognisable way, so it’s obvious the NFT has the same features as other goofed NFT’s.�
  • Preferably the NFT’s are minted from a new address that is accepted in the ecosystem of the NFT.

Incentivesing

​

  • Each goofed NFT holders participates automatically in a raffle. The winners of the raffle are rewarded with benefits such as:�- Being invited to a Polkadot Decoded event, flight & hotel costs are covered by the GovernGoofed treasury �- The winners can spend x amount of DOT supporting a Dotsama project such as Teddie Dao or any other project �
  • So in essence the benefits by voting will be real, but they increase the participation of the voters in the ecosystem rather than voters being financially rewarded

Educational

​

  • GovernGoofed is a media platform that educates about the current running proposals by giving a stage to proposers and voters�
  • It uses known channels such as YT, Twitter, Discord etc. to give a voice to proposers to give insight in their proposal�

Some topics tbd

  • Use previous work from Rooster DAO for the evolving NFT’s.�
  • Connect onchain voting data.

​

  • Transfer the voting data of other parachains through xcm?�
  • The goofed NFT is preferably a soulbound token that can not be sold.�
  • What chain to deploy the Dapp?

​

  • Research AI tool that can consistently goof NFT’s in a recognisable style, so it’s always immediately clear that it’s a GovernGoofed NFT.�
  • Research formats for media coverage of proposals.
