Thank you for submitting this proposal — the DAVOS concept is both timely and highly relevant, especially in addressing the user experience and alignment issues in Polkadot’s OpenGov. I believe this has strong potential to improve both transparency and participation.
Here are a few suggestions that may help strengthen the MVP and overall impact:
- Incorporate off-chain reputation signals
Currently, DAVOS focuses on on-chain voting history. It might be beneficial to enrich delegate profiles with off-chain activity such as forum participation, discussions on Discord/X, or thought leadership in governance-related spaces. This would give users a more holistic understanding of a delegate’s ethos. - User notification system
Consider adding a notification feature (e.g. email or Telegram bot) to alert users when their matched delegate is voting on a proposal, or when their stance diverges significantly. This can help users stay engaged beyond the initial matching process. - Detailed alignment scoring
Instead of a single alignment score, you could break it down into thematic categories (e.g. treasury policy, privacy, infrastructure, etc.). This would help users understand why a delegate is a good match, not just who is. - Governance onboarding and education module
Including brief interactive explanations for key governance concepts (“What is a referendum?”, “Why delegate?”, “How does my vote matter?”) could make DAVOS much more accessible to newcomers and increase long-term adoption. - Long-term portability & FOSS
As DAVOS matures, consider making it portable and open-source for use in other ecosystems (e.g. Kusama, Cosmos, Ethereum DAOs). This would broaden its value and encourage cross-ecosystem collaboration.
Overall, I strongly support this proposal. It addresses a clear UX gap in OpenGov and adds real value to both token holders and delegates. Looking forward to seeing the MVP in action — great work so far!
Heyo, just as a note you requested 25k DOT and not 25k USD as stated in the context of the referendum
