PROJECT TEASER
Sybil-resistant, token-enabled voting - directly in Discord!
SUMMARY
Project Description
The project exists to serve the governance space in between the properness of Snapshot and the casual straw polls of Sesh (and sybil-prone Discourse). Governator exists to allow communities to use their tokens in voting directly in Discord with no need to sign with their ledger wallet every time they want their voices heard.
Past/preparatory activities
At the beginning of Season 7, we reached a critical point: launch and officially accomplished our V1 goals, having launched a full-featured version of the product on the BanklessDAO Discord server. This critical step served as the jumping off point for building amazing new features and, more importantly, our ability to reach out to other communities & DAOs.
Here is what the Governator Team has accomplished in the past seven weeks:
- We have a new brand guide, featuring vibrant colors!
- We’ve kicked off a full platform redesign and FE dev work has already begun. Here’s a sneak peak:
Community page
Single poll page
- We have been working towards self-sustainability. We have applied for multiple grants in the past few weeks.
- We are working on integrations with other projects such as Thrivecoin, Sobol, Guild, and Collab.land.
- We have created a How to Governator Session that is held by the Education Department monthly.
- We have been engaging with our community and gathering input and feedback, to assist in designing what our community wants and needs. From this, our backlog grows daily with requests for new features and improvements!
RETROSPECTIVE
We plan to have a retrospective at the end of Season 7.

COMMITMENTS
What we currently do:
- BANK Utility - We use BANK in token gated & weighted polls directly in Discord.
What we will do:
- Support tlBANK - We will easily support tlBANK, POAP, Otterspace, or any other integration/token that bDAO wishes to explore as a part of membership definition.
BRANDING
We believe that fair, accessible governance is key to the success of the web3 mission - in this way (among many others - we are deeply aligned with the BanklessDAO mission). We’ll use BanklessDAO as a submark in our web presence, just not as our primary brand identity. It will appear in our web footer and other information about the product.
