It can be useful to add a link explaining the Quadratic voting in case some are unfamiliar.
On top of the link you suggested, I felt that an additional explanation regarding why we use quadratic voting here makes sense.
The builders’ group within Mangrove DAO has established a voting power system based on each member’s intensity and duration of involvement in the project. This system acknowledges that long-term, full-time contributors should have more influence compared to those who recently started or are advising the project on a part-time basis.
Note: This consensus was not easily achieved, as nearly half of the builders initially favored a one-person-one-vote model. The group retains the discretion to modify this voting power allocation system in the future.
To simplify tracking of contributions, we implemented a point-based system known as the Builders’ Activity Score. Each builder receives 2 points for every month of full-time work, and 1 point for part-time work (which includes occasional advisory roles or ongoing part-time collaboration).
Upon initial calculation of this score, the disparity in voting power ranged significantly, with the highest score being approximately 80 times that of the lowest. To address concerns about excessive disparity and maintain motivation among builders with lower scores, quadratic voting was introduced. This approach calculates voting power as the square root of a builder’s Activity Score. Consequently, someone who has been building for three years would possess 3.5 times the voting power of someone who has been building for three months. This method effectively balances the voting influence, allowing newer contributors to have a meaningful voice in governance decisions, thereby ensuring a dynamic and adaptable governance environment, even as it recognizes the contributions of longer-serving members.
