DeepDAO Announces: Voting Labels for All Governance Addresses
The first ever DAO voting labels * Label types: Personal DAO interests, Voter History, On-chain, Off-chain, Experience and Delegation * Available on DeepDAO’s site, and API
The DAO ecosystem is not only growing but also maturing. With hundreds of meaningful DAOs and millions of voters, tools tailored for DAOs are on the rise, signaling the evolution of DAO culture into a more robust and professional realm.
DeepDAO’s mission is to provide actionable insights for the DAO ecosystem, and help people collaboratively manage their assets. To that end we have created voting and participation labels for over 2.5M voters. This is the first ever such effort, and it accentuates the significance, and uniqueness of DAOs as an asset class.
Take for example one voter’s profile on DeepDAO. The labels for this wallet are on the left side of the header. Note that on the site we are showing eight labels by default, and overall there are no less than 39 distinct labels.
Label Types
There are three distinct types of voting labels.
Category labels
DeFi voter
NFT voter
Infrastructure DAOs voter
Gaming voter
Investments voter
Media & Communications Voter
DeSci
Physical Assets
Others…
Overall there are 13 DAO category labels, reflecting the number of DAO categories on our dashboard. For a full list see here.
Voting experience labels
DAO Voter (given to an address, if it voted in DAOs)
DAO voter 2019 (the address voted in a DAOs as early as 2019)
DAO voter 2020
DAO voter 2021
DAO voter 2022
DAO voter 2023
On-chain voter 2019 (2020, 2021, 2022, 2023)
Off-chain voter 2019 (2020, 2021, 2022, 2023)
Top 1% Voter (as ranked by DeepDAO’s G-score)
Top 5% Voter
Two organizations voter (voted in a minimum of 2 DAOs)
Five organizations voter (voted in a minimum of 5 DAOs)
Ten organizations voter (voted in a minimum of 10 DAOs)
In this section we are also labeling voters as Nonsensical, which means that they voted, at least once, in a meaningless, nonsensical governance system, and may or may not be a vote miner. (Addresses that vote primarily in the hope of gaining future airdrop rewards, are called Vote Miners).
Delegation labels
Delegate
Delegator
Multiple Delegate (serves as a delegate in multiple organizations)
Multiple Delegator (delegated voting power in multiple organizations)
Label Benefits for DAOs and Individuals
DeepDAO’s labels, mapping the entire voting ecosystem, have several benefits for the stakeholder groups in the ecosystem.
For DAOs
DAOs that use DeepDAO’s labeling system will better understand their voters, and identify their personal interests and their needs. This will enable DAOs to answer questions such as the following:
Is a particular address active in DAOs? In which DAOs?
Does a job applicant have tangible experience in DAOs? How often have they voted? When did they start getting involved?
Which categories of DAOs this person is involved with? Are they interested in DeFi DAOs? Investment DAOs? Gaming?
Is this person a delegate? A delegator?
Going deeper, DeepDAO’s labeling system allows DAOs to create segmentations of their voters, and token holders, and understand their voter population as a group. For example, are my voters interested more in Infrastructure projects, or in the rising web3 Gaming sector? Are they moving into Work & Funding type DAOs, and does this trend intersect with the current bear market?
Having this information on hand will help DAOs and DAO tools improve marketing efforts, voter participation, and community involvement.
For wallet owners
For wallet owners, DeepDAO’s labels, and our voter profiles provide a rich attestation of your involvement in DAOs: the governance identity you created, and will help you find people you are interested in, and help them find you in return.
For instance if you’re looking for a job in DAOs you can show off your DeepDAO profile, with all your labels, votes, and created proposals. Along with your LinkedIn profile, or your Github, send them your DeepDAO page — it may be what differentiates you from others.
Where can I find the labels?
DeepDAO’s voter labels are available on our website and in our paid API. To see them on the site, navigate to your profile on DeepDAO and observe your own address’ labels, or search for any other voter’s profile and see theirs. Viewing the labels is totally free on the site.
For DAO tools, VCs, academics and other researchers, our labels are available through paid API. The API’s documentation can be found here.
