Features

With orbis we have the ability to create token weighted votes off chain. This essentially replicates what current snapshot is known for giving voters the ability to easily give their thoughts without a transaction. We would NOT be claiming this is governance, simply a polling tool for use in discussions to get temperature checks before a proposal is made on chain. But this would be a great feature and orbis seems to be eager to help us implement it with their SDK!

With DAVI we have a pretty amazing opportunity for DAOs to build and structure their org how they wish. This could be a main DAO with wallet schemes providing specific functionality and even connected teams of guilds with their own budgets and responsibilities. Mapping this all out would give an until now non existant overview of how an organisation is structured.

We need a little more flexibility in how we show our rich contract data and some more power to the people building the rich data instead of us the developers of DAVI. Originally we brainstormed excel formulas but we couldn't find a library which handled big numbers. So now the plan is to use a library supporting big numbers and simple math operation (+-*/) and this way we can let curators build their own formulas on how data is input and formatted. We may also go through and improve other parts of the schema as if we make big changes later then migrating over the rich contracts will be a lot of work.

We have the ability to suport signed votes on the contract side of guilds and gov 2.0 but have yet to support it on the frontend, mostly because it is a slight UX challenge to support well. This would mean users could vote for free off chain with their signatures. We would collect these on orbis and then someone could aggregate them and upload them on chain with a single transaction. Some more experimentation would be required to find if there are any cost savings here but it is expected to still cost a similar amount. It is more like we are shifting the cost to one individual (perhaps we could automate this?) We will support this at some point since it is in the contracts but need to find out how much demand there is before prioritising it.

A recent test in the DXdao multicall scheme and a lot of work with the cowswap team led to the discovery that we can do limit orders with a DAO. This is important because the swaps cannot be frontrun and let the DAO set the price for which it wants to make the swap. This should be a core action of DAVI because it is a little complex. The UI needs to: Call the API ( https://api.cow.fi/docs/#/default/post_api_v1_orders ) Approve the token Call a function We also need a way to show the order link to cowswap which we should have access to after calling the API. Dave will help with this feature.
