XDAO for the fam:
VOTING POWER

Voting power is the weight of your vote in a DAO. Not every vote is equal — and it’s not always one token = one vote

Different DAOs calculate Voting Power in different ways, depending on their setup:

— By governance tokens (the more tokens you hold — the more influence you have)
— By delegation (if others delegate their votes to you, you vote on their behalf)
— By reputation (in non-monetary models, your vote carries weight based on your contributions)
— By activity (some systems reward participation over just holding tokens)

Why it matters:

A DAO isn’t just a poll machine — it’s a power structure. Voting Power distinguishes active contributors from passive or random participants
It protects against manipulation: if you hold 0.0001 tokens, you shouldn’t have the same say as someone who committed real capital or work
Flexible Voting Power models let each DAO tailor governance to its purpose — prioritizing capital in some, contribution in others
You can balance influence: give large investors more weight — but not total control

A well-designed Voting Power system balances influence, contribution, and responsibility. It gives voice to those who care — and protects DAOs from chaos
