Gov Navigator: A Comprehensive Governance Dashboard for Mantle DAO
Authors
This proposal is authored by PYOR. We specialize in crypto research and analytics with over 10 years of experience building in the crypto space. We’re backed by leading investors including Castle Island Ventures and Coinbase Ventures.
PYOR is an official delegate for Wormhole and zkSync, demonstrating our commitment to effective DAO governance.
Background
Problem Statement
Mantle’s governance faces fragmented delegate information and low participation due to:
- Token holders manually compiling delegate data from multiple sources
- Lack of standardized metrics for evaluating delegate performance
- Difficulty tracking governance activities across platforms
Solution: Gov Navigator
Our solution is a comprehensive analytics dashboard that provides information in an organised manner to token holders to make voting and delegation decisions based on current and historical data. The dashboard will serve as a centralized hub for tracking and visualizing Mantle’s governance activities
Proposal
By Voting “Yes”, you endorse the following terms:
- Fund the development of Gov Navigator, a comprehensive governance analytics dashboard for Mantle DAO
- Grant PYOR access to necessary governance data to build and maintain the dashboard.
Dashboard Features
The Gov Navigator dashboard will consolidate key metrics into intuitive visualizations:
Here’s the dashboard features converted into a table format:
| Category | Features |
|---|---|
| High-Level Governance Metrics | • Total amount of proposals already voted • Total of unique all-time voters • Percentage of active and non-active voting power |
| Proposal Metrics | • Detailed MIP tracking with chronological overview, including proposal result and quorum status • Overview of all proposals states (passed, rejected, on voting, etc.) • Number of proposals voted over time |
| Voting Analytics | • Track unique voting addresses per proposal • Participation over time considering total and individual votes • Visualize votes of individual addresses or MIP • Current distribution of the voting power |
| Delegation Tracking | • List of all delegates and their voting power • Total of voting power delegated over time • Percentage of delegated voting power actively participating in governance (per proposal) • Percentage of active delegates (per proposal) • History of voting and the impact on the proposal acceptance • Comparison of delegate voting patterns and timelines |
Benefits to Mantle
