Proposal: A Comprehensive Governance Dashboard for Stargate

Summary:

This proposal aims to develop a comprehensive governance analytics dashboard for Stargate, consolidating governance metrics, voting patterns, and delegate performance into a single user-friendly interface to enhance governance participation and transparency.

Abstract:

This proposal aims to develop a comprehensive governance analytics dashboard for Stargate called Gov Navigator. The project addresses the current challenge of fragmented governance information by consolidating delegate performance metrics, voting analytics, and proposal tracking into a single, user-friendly interface. The dashboard will serve as a centralized hub for tracking and visualizing Stargate’s governance activities, covering three main areas:

  1. High-Level Governance Metrics
  2. Delegate Analytics
  3. Proposal Tracking and Analysis

Motivation:

While Stargate’s governance has made positive strides with governance initiatives, the ecosystem still faces challenges with fragmented information. Token holders must compile delegate data from multiple sources, and there’s a lack of standardized performance metrics. Gov Navigator will complement these existing governance improvements by providing analytical tools that further empower the community to participate effectively.

Technical Implementation

This proposal aims to develop a governance analytics dashboard for Stargate using Dune. The project addresses the current challenge of scattered governance information by consolidating key metrics into a single, user-friendly interface.

  1. High-Level Governance Metrics
  2. Proposal Metrics
  3. Voting Analytics
  4. Delegation Tracking

Benefits to Stargate:

  • Enhanced governance participation through accessible metrics
  • Improved delegate accountability and transparency
  • Data-driven decision making for protocol development
  • Complementary tool to existing governance initiatives
  • Time savings for token holders when researching delegates

It’s been a few days since we posted our initial proposal, just wanted to follow up to check in with the community. We’re eager to refine our pitch based on community input so we can better align with the DAO’s goals and needs. Even brief thoughts or questions would be incredibly valuable at this stage and would help us understand if:

  1. There are aspects of our proposal that need clarification
  2. The idea aligns with current community priorities
  3. There are specific modifications that would make the proposal more valuable to the community

We’re committed to contributing positively to this ecosystem and believe our proposal offers genuine value, but we want to ensure it meets the actual needs of the community.

Hey @ShiraanPYOR!

Thanks for your proposal and welcome to Stargate.

The Stargate Community will be discussing this proposal on the bi-weekly Community Call taking place this afternoon in the Official Discord Server. Feel free to pop in and share some further information around your proposal, you can find the link at the bottom of the stargate.finance frontend.

It’s also worth noting that whilst there are differences, the StargateDAO recently commissioned Artemis Analytics to put together a comprehensive dashboard for its overall protocol operations. Have a look here: Artemis Dashboard

Thanks again for your proposal!

Hey @havds_stg

Thanks for feedback, just saw your message.

We notice the Artemis dashboard doesn’t have governance tracking in the current iteration. We can provide that. The PYOR team is also in touch with Artemis - we can collaborate and create the pipeline to integrate it into their dashboard as well.

Unfortunately, we missed the biweekly call yesterday - would love to hop on the next one to expand on the details.
