Just deployed my first DAO contract on Base
Finally got the governance token working with quadratic voting. Gas fees were surprisingly low on Base compared to mainnet.

Discovered an optimized liquidity provision strategy for ETH/USDC. APR hovering around 45% with minimal impermanent loss.
The artwork changes based on on-chain data. Each NFT evolves as the holder participates in governance proposals. Building on Polygon to keep gas fees reasonable.

After 6 months of building a decentralized autonomous organization, here are the key insights from our journey. The biggest challenge wasn't the smart contract development—it was designing a governance model that actually works.
We built on Ethereum using OpenZeppelin's battle-tested contracts. The governance token uses ERC20Votes for delegation and quadratic voting mechanisms. Here's what worked:
The real complexity emerged when we started testing with real users. Voter apathy was our biggest enemy—only 15% of token holders participated in the first three proposals.
Our solution was implementing a delegation system where users could delegate their voting power to trusted community members. This increased participation to 67% within two weeks.
Deploying on Layer 2 (Optimism) reduced gas costs by 95%. We also implemented batch voting and meta-transactions for better UX.
Great insights on the delegation system! We're implementing something similar but with time-weighted voting power. Have you considered adding conviction voting mechanisms?
The 67% participation rate is impressive! What incentives did you use beyond delegation? Token rewards or reputation systems?
