Union

The Delegator’s Union is a decentralized platform designed to empower smaller stakeholders in DAOs by pooling their resources and voting power. This innovative system enables delegators to unite and collectively influence governance decisions, addressing common issues like power imbalances, low participation, and fragmented governance.

Core Concept Delegators can delegate their voting power to a union, which then votes on behalf of its members. Voting outcomes are determined by the collective preference of the union members. By pooling votes, unions amplify individual voting power, ensuring even small stakeholders have a meaningful voice in governance.
