- Abstract summary: We study the on-chain governance systems of 21s and open source dataset.
Thes we study are of various size and activity, and govern a wide range of protocols and services, such as decentralized exchanges, lending protocols, infrastructure projects and common goods funding.
Our analysis unveils a high concentration of voting rights, a significant hidden monetary costs of on-chain governance systems, as well as a remarkably high amount of pointless governance activity.

- Abstract: Decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) are a recent innovation in
organizational structures, which are already widely used in the blockchain
ecosystem. We empirically study the on-chain governance systems of 21 DAOs and
open source the live dataset. The DAOs we study are of various size and
activity, and govern a wide range of protocols and services, such as
decentralized exchanges, lending protocols, infrastructure projects and common
goods funding. Our analysis unveils a high concentration of voting rights, a
significant hidden monetary costs of on-chain governance systems, as well as a
remarkably high amount of pointless governance activity.

We propose the use of explainable artificial intelligence for decentralised computing of estimated contributions to a metric of interest.
This approach mitigates the need to convince supply chain actors to share data, as all computations occur in a decentralised manner.
Results demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in detecting the source of quality variations compared to a centralised approach.
