Gardens v2 is a modular governance framework that enables communities to create and manage multiple governance pools with customizable parameters and voting mechanisms. Our smart contracts are built to optimize for secure, flexible, intuitive, multi-network governance solutions.
Create multiple governance pools within your community, each serving a distinct purpose with customizable parameters and terms of use. This modular approach allows for more granular and focused onchain governance decisions.
- Funding Pools: Allocate funds from a shared token pool
- Signaling Pools: Source other types of decisions, both onchain and offchain
Choose from multiple voting weight mechanisms to best suit your community's needs:
- Token-weighted: Traditional 1 token = 1 vote
- Fixed: Equal voting power for all members
- Capped: 1 token = 1 vote up to a maximum threshold
- Quadratic: Voting weight = square root of tokens staked
Currently deployed on:
- Gnosis Chain
- Polygon
- Arbitrum
- Optimism
- Base
- Celo
More networks coming soon!
Significant UI improvements make conviction voting more intuitive and easier to understand compared to v1, enabling broader participation in governance decisions.
