Voting Power: Snapshot vs Agora

PreviousOrganizations vs Agora DAOsNextPolls vs Proposals

Last updated 3 months ago

Voting Power is an important part of participating in both Organizations and Agora DAOs on Clarity. However, it's important to note the key differences in how Voting Power is calculated for Snapshot Governance Events (Polls & Snapshot Proposals), and Agora Proposals.

Snapshot Voting Power

Snapshot Voting Power is determined using pre-set Voting Power Calculations. Snapshot Voting Power Calculations can be one of the following types:

1 Member 1 Vote

All Organization Members have 1 vote.

Token Weighted

are added to a voting power and given a weight and scale.

Token Weighted Snapshot Voting Power is calculated from the number of tokens in a given calculation a user holds in their wallet.

GT: The set of Snapshot Governance Assets the Organization has configured in this Voting Power Calculation

TokensHeld: The number of this Snapshot Governance Asset the member holds

Scale: If linear, Scale=1. If quadratic, Scale=1/2

Weight: Weight of this asset in this voting power.

Stake Pool

Stake Pool power is calculated using the amount of ADA a user stakes to a specific stake pool, potentially boosted by a time bonus multiplier. The amount staked is calculated each epoch, so it may take several days to see voting power in a Stake Pool Voting Power Calculation after initially staking to the relevant pool

ADA Staked: The amount of ADA the member stakes to the relevant Stake Pool

Scale: If linear, Scale=1. If quadratic, Scale=1/2

TimeBonusMultiplier: A multiplier if the user stakes for a minimum number of epochs, defined in this Voting Power Calculation

Agora Voting Power

For Agora Voting power, the Governance Tokens held must be to an Agora DAO to count towards Voting Power.

There is only one type of Agora Voting Power Calculation, which is 1 staked token = 1 vote. The only token that can be staked to an Agora DAO is that DAO's . Voting Power in all Agora actions is calculated using this formula.
