DAO Governance

When to Use

Creating or voting on governance proposals
Managing vote delegation
Interacting with DAO treasuries (Gnosis Safe, timelocks)
Analyzing proposal outcomes and quorum
Configuring on-chain vs off-chain (Snapshot) governance

Prerequisites

MCP: blockchain-rpc-server, defi-protocol-server
Skills: skill-02, skill-09 (treasury compliance)

Workflow

1. Governance Frameworks

Framework	Voting	Execution
OpenZeppelin Governor	On-chain	TimelockController
Compound Governor Bravo	On-chain	Timelock
Snapshot	Off-chain (signed)	Multisig execution
Aragon OSx	On-chain	Plugin-based

2. Proposal Lifecycle

Draft — encode calls array (targets, values, calldatas)
Submit — propose(targets, values, calldatas, description)
Voting delay — wait votingDelay blocks
Voting period — cast votes (for/against/abstain)
Queue — if quorum met and majority for
Timelock delay — wait timelock.delay()
Execute — execute(targets, values, calldatas, descriptionHash)

3. Voting

governor.castVote(proposalId, support); // 0=against, 1=for, 2=abstain
governor.castVoteWithReason(proposalId, support, reason);

Check voting power at proposal.startBlock snapshot
Delegate before snapshot block to activate voting power
Use getVotes(account, blockNumber) to verify power

4. Delegation

Self-delegate to activate token voting power
Delegate to trusted representative
Monitor delegate voting history before delegating

5. Treasury Management

Treasuries typically held in Gnosis Safe or TimelockController
Large withdrawals require multi-sig + timelock
Screen all outbound transfers via compliance MCP
Diversify and report per DAO transparency standards

Analysis

For each proposal, report:

Quorum required vs current votes
For/against split and notable voters
Impact of executable calls (token transfers, parameter changes)
Timelock ETA if passed
