- Rationale for Dual Signaling from STX Holders: An Analogy
- PeaceLove raised a question about the rationale behind requiring both 1) stacked and 2) unstacked STX holders to signal in the voting process.
- HeroGamer explained - The approach aims to capture a comprehensive view of community sentiment, ensuring that both long-term committed participants (stacked STX holders) and those with liquid assets (unstacked STX holders) have a voice in governance decisions.
- This “dual signaling” reflects the diverse engagement levels within the community, acknowledging that both committed residents and those maintaining liquid STX contribute valuable perspectives to the network’s direction.
- Downloadable vote results
- TripnMonkey suggested downloadable vote results feature for transparency - can be something for Stacks Foundation / Ballot.gg / ZeroAuthorityDAO to consider.
