Swan DevGrant<Power Voting>

[xianglinhe]

Open Grant Proposal: Power Voting

Project Name:Power Voting.

Proposal Category: Applications.

Individual or Entity Name: Black Domain DAO.

Proposer: xianglinhe.

Do you agree to open source all work you do on behalf of this RFP under the MIT/Apache-2 dual-license?: Yes.

Project Summary

Swan is a leading provider of cross-chain cloud computing solutions.

Power Voting utilizes Drand TimeLock technology to achieve fair and private voting. Before the voting deadline, no one’s voting results will be seen by others, and the voting process will not be disturbed by other participant’s voting results. After the voting deadline, anyone can count the votes in a decentralized manner, and the results of the counting will executed and stored by smart contract and will not be manipulated by any centralized organization or individual.

Power Voting aims to become the infrastructure of DAO governance on Swan chain.

Impact

1. Solved the problem of lacking a native DAO governance tool on Swan Chain.
2. Solved the problem of existing voting DAO governance tools on the market that do not allow various roles such as Swan's developers, storage providers, stakers, and others to participate in the voting governance.
3. Bring more fairness and efficiency to community governance for Swan.

Outcomes

The project will include three parts:

1. Utilizes Drand TimeLock technology to achieve fair and private voting. Before the voting deadline, no one’s voting results will be seen by others, and the voting process will not be disturbed by other participant’s voting results.
2. Uses UCAN delegation to proxy the accounts of various roles such as developers, stakers, storage providers, token holders, etc., to the Swan chain accounts, in order to represent these accounts in contract voting operations on the Swan chain.
3. Uses a decentralized Power Oracle to obtain the weights of various roles such as developers, stakers, storage providers, token holders, etc., and converting them into standardized voting weights, which are then stored on the Swan chain for use by the power voting contract.

Adoption, Reach, and Growth Strategies

A DAO community is typically composed of various roles, but common community governance tools often limit voting participation to token holders only. Power Voting enables fair and private participation in community governance voting for roles such as developers, stakers, storage providers, and token holders. It allows the community to evolve towards greater decentralization and democracy. Power Voting aims to become the infrastructure for DAO governance on Swan chain.

Development Roadmap

Total Budget Requested

Milestone #	Description	Deliverables	Completion Date	Funding
Milestone1	Implement UCAN delegation to allow accounts of various roles such as developers, stakers, storage providers, and more to vote on contracts on the Swan chain.	UCAN delegation generation and verification tools.	2 Weeks	10,000 SWAN
Milestone2	Implement Power Oracle nodes and contracts to obtain the weights of various roles such as developers, stakers, storage providers, token holders, and more. Then convert the weights into standardized voting weights and store them on Swan chain.	Power Oracle node and contracts.	6 Weeks	30,000 SWAN
Milestone3	Integrate UCAN delegation, power oracle, and Drand TimeLock into Power Voting to implement the voting features.	Power Voting frontend, backend and contracts.	1 Week	10,000 SWAN

Maintenance and Upgrade Plans

Maintenance: Perform routine maintenance to ensure the stable and reliable operation of the Power Voting project. This includes bug fixing and performance optimization.

Documentation: Provide comprehensive documentation covering design diagrams, application usage, FAQ compilation, and efficient support for developers and users.

Relevant Experience

Power voting has been deployed on Filecoin chain, providing the Filecoin ecosystem with a privacy-preserving and fair community voting governance tool that allows participation from various roles such as token holders, clients, SPs, developers, and more. This is achieved through technologies such as Drand TimeLock, UCAN delegation, decentralized power oracles, and others.

Power voting has received a grant from the Filecoin Foundation and will be used as a voting governance tool by the foundation in the future.
