DAO Voter Turnout Ranked by Protocol

Which DAOs have the highest and lowest voter turnout?

DAOs ranked by how much of their delegated voting power votes on on-chain proposals, with quorum hit rates and voter concentration.

About

What it answers, and for whom.

Voter turnout in a DAO is the share of voting power that takes part in a vote. This table ranks DAOs by it over the on-chain proposals of the last 90 days: the median share of delegated voting power cast per proposal, how often proposals reached quorum and how many addresses voted.

Turnout is measured against delegated voting power rather than total supply, because tokens that were never delegated cannot vote in most governors. Both measures are shown, so a DAO with little delegation can be told apart from one whose delegates stay away.

Each row also shows how concentrated the votes are: the share cast by the ten largest voters. High turnout driven by a few large delegates reads differently from broad participation.

Method

How it will be measured.

Every figure will be read at a block, kept with its source and its exact read, and open a receipt anyone can re-check.

How receipts work →
  1. For each proposal, votes cast is the sum of VoteCast weights; delegated voting power is the total of delegate balances at the snapshot block, rebuilt from DelegateVotesChanged events.
  2. Turnout is votes cast divided by delegated voting power, and each DAO's figure is the median over its on-chain proposals in the last 90 days.
  3. Turnout of supply divides the same votes by getPastTotalSupply at the snapshot block, which includes tokens that were never delegated.
  4. The quorum hit rate is the share of proposals whose counted votes reached the governor's quorum() at the snapshot block, or quorumVotes() on GovernorBravo.

Questions

Questions people ask.

What is a typical voter turnout for a DAO?

There is no single benchmark. Turnout depends on how much supply is delegated, how many proposals a DAO holds and how its quorum is set. The table shows each DAO's turnout beside its quorum hit rate, which shows whether participation is enough for its own rules.

Why is DAO voter turnout often low?

Voting costs attention and sometimes gas, many holders keep tokens on exchanges or in DeFi where they cannot vote and small holders see little effect from their vote. Delegation was designed for this, letting active delegates vote on holders' behalf.

What is delegated voting power?

In governors built on ERC20Votes, tokens count toward votes only after their holder delegates them, to themselves or to another address. Delegated voting power is the total assigned that way at a given block.

Are off-chain votes counted?

No. This table covers on-chain governor votes, which can be read and receipted from the chain. Off-chain signalling votes are not recorded on a chain.

Turnout
Votes cast on a proposal divided by the voting power that could have voted on it.
Quorum
The minimum votes a proposal needs for its result to count, as the governor defines it.
Delegation
Assigning a token's voting power to an address, which may be the holder's own.
