Round 2 / Voting Analysis for Retroactive Public Goods Funding

Who is this project for?

• This project is for all participants interested in conducting effective governance, such as the Filecoin Foundation and FIL-RetroPGF organizers. What pain points does it solve?
• No previous method existed to systematically and quantitatively analyze various aspects of voting mechanisms, such as robustness to conflicts of interest or efficiency.
• This is important to the ecosystem, where community decisions must be made efficiently but fairly. The current governance mechanism of soft consensus is not scalable, and this tool provides an avenue to design new methods that can scale better and be more efficient. What are the tangible benefits of this contribution?
• The tangible benefits include the voting simulator and research articles detailing relevant simulation results.
