Senate

Start your governance session by connecting one or more wallets, then choose the DAOs you want to monitor or import an existing watchlist. The main board gathers every live and scheduled vote from those organizations, sorted by urgency. You’ll see timelines, participation progress, and a compact summary for each item. Open any proposal to scan the description, options, linked forum threads, and any attachments, then pin it if you plan to review it later. Save your favorite filters—like by DAO, category, or closing soon—so your queue stays focused on what needs attention today.

When you’re ready to act, switch to the “Action needed” view to surface proposals where your addresses have voting power but haven’t participated yet. Step through items one by one: read the highlights, jot down a quick rationale, and mark your intended choice. Use reminders to get a nudge before deadlines—helpful for batch voting at the end of the day. When you’re confident, jump straight to the DAO’s native voting page via deep link, submit your vote, and return; Senate refreshes your status so completed items drop out of your queue. If your schedule is tight, set a weekly cadence: triage on Monday, follow up midweek, and finalize votes before Friday close.

If you’re part of a team or serve as a delegate, organize your workflow with tags, owners, and notes. Tag proposals by theme (treasury, parameter changes, elections), assign teammates to review, and keep internal comments alongside each item. Draft and publish a public stance page so token holders can see where you stand and why, then share a link in community channels. For recurring program renewals or similar proposals across multiple DAOs, reuse rationale templates to speed up consistent decision-making. After voting, log outcomes and link to post-mortems so your track record remains transparent and easy to audit.

For research and reporting, filter by date range to study activity across your portfolio of DAOs, then export to CSV for dashboards or weekly newsletters. Set watchwords to get alerts on topics you care about—budget changes, emissions schedules, protocol upgrades—so critical items never slip by. Create separate lists for core DAOs, experimental groups, or subDAOs to keep noise low. Use the calendar view to see closing windows at a glance and plan your bandwidth accordingly. Over time, your history becomes a searchable archive, making it simple to reference past votes, compare similar proposals, and brief new contributors in minutes.
