πŸ“’ πŸ’¨ #cardano $ada governance a key dev pillar in 2021.

πŸ‘‰ think not only mechanics but also in terms of social dynamics
πŸ‘‰ what will allow long-term system that is maximally good for as many as possible
πŸ‘‰ Recap of @IOHK_Charles governance YT video. πŸ™

2/n

Looking beyond March 2021, Project Catalyst is all about

πŸ‘‰ training wheels
πŸ‘‰ teaching people how to participate in voting
πŸ‘‰ how to think about this process as a whole

πŸ’‘ EDIT: Project Catalyst Fund 2 Dashboard: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
3/n

Q1/2020 aspirations:

πŸ‘‰ biggest goal is to maximise participation
πŸ‘‰ get as many ADA holders to register & vote
πŸ‘‰ having Voting Center in main Daedalus & there also is intent on having it in @YoroiWallet
πŸ‘‰ voting app is going to stay
4/n

πŸ‘‰ 67% of ADA in circulation is now staked (number 2 cryptocurrency in the world in amount staked).
πŸ‘‰ only small % of that ADA actually participates now in Fund 2 (test phase)
πŸ‘‰ goal is to have at least 50% staked $ADA to actively participate during first half of 2021
5/n

What is meaningful participation?

πŸ‘‰ complex ideas need scrutiny
πŸ‘‰ use of institutions to resolve these & form an opinion - crypto industry does not have proper institutions or very few now
πŸ‘‰ thought leaders are also often built around cult of personality (not ideal)
6/n

And hence to achieve meaningfulness...

πŸ‘‰ Healthy ecosystem needs diverse group of institutions and thought leaders but also has a systematic process for analysis of these complex ideas for appropriate scrutiny.
7/n

πŸ‘‰ Q1 - Q2 -> we'll focus on what are these systematic processes for the governance in Cardano specifically:

1⃣ what institutions can we reinforce to provide objective information?

2⃣ and how do we make sure thought leader expert class solidifies with the ecosystem?
8/n

Convergence To Decisions:

πŸ‘‰ Accepting proposed changes as a community & avoid situations where disagreements lead to literal hard forks - Bitcoin, Cash, SV, etc.
πŸ‘‰ maintaining legitimacy of the system regardless of vote outcomes
πŸ‘‰ How do we avoid maximalism tendencies
9/n

Return on Intention (ROI)

πŸ‘‰ social enrichment that wasn't there previously

πŸ‘‰ ROI on asset appreciation is a vanity metric because it is beyond our control (reminder)
10/n

πŸ‘‰ What are KPIs of crypto currencies?

It is not here to make you RICH πŸ€‘

It is here to be USEFUL 😎

πŸ€“ aka their utility, growth & adoption components, sustainability, competitiveness/fitness, etc.
11/n

Thus - the point is to come up with those ideas that will be measured against Return on Intention (RoI) & then voted upon them as a community...

...whether to update/implement protocol level changes or simply to fund development of something via Cardano Treasury Image
12/n

2⃣ Cardano Voting systems presently:

☝️- OFF CHAIN
where Cardano Treasury management sits, developed in Rust, the current Catalyst framework

✌️- ON CHAIN
in development with help of EU funds - protocol level changes, events such as Hard Fork Combinator, etc.
13/n

πŸ’‘ AKA bi-cameral model with two housing/voting pools.

E.g. hard fork changes - ADA holders would vote off-chain in private & if passed it would go on-chain for SPOs to vote again in public.

Or Treasury fund dispersion - can be handled via off-chain mode entirely. πŸ‘Œ
14/n

Your wallet addresses shall consist of:

1⃣ Value Keys (transactions - $ADA balances)
2⃣ Staking Keys (delegations & earning rewards)
3⃣ Voting Keys (in development - using your ADA as a voice in the community)
15/n

πŸ’‘ When delegating to your SPO,

...you would choose if you delegate your stake only OR your voting keys only OR both keys!

🀝 This would then enable SPOs to vote on behalf of (represent) you in decision making for protocol level Qs.

πŸ‘Œ SPO votes would be public on chain.
16/n

πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ What about them Exchanges? 🐘

πŸ’Š intro of $ADA locking with Allegra
πŸ’Š EXs are on demand accounts & should not participate - these are not "end owners"
πŸ’Š locking mechanism requires you to register before you vote - moving from on demand to no longer on demand
17/n

πŸ€” Cardano 2025- big open Q:

πŸ‘‰ building system that can sustain 1 billion users (likes of Facebook, Google, Amazon but decentralised)
πŸ‘‰ DCF - Decentralised Consortium Funding may be the way forward
πŸ‘‰ @InputOutputHK to submit proposal & vision to the community to vote

πŸ‘‰ Seeing a lot of fud around? 😱

πŸ’‘ Who or what is SEC?

πŸ‘‰ "The mission of the SEC is to protect investors; maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets; and facilitate capital formation. The SEC strives to promote a market environment that is worthy of the public's trust."
3/n

πŸ‘‰ The Securities And Exchange Commission (SEC) was created in 1934 to help restore investor confidence in the wake of the 1929 stock market crash.
