LayerK DAO: On-chain Referendum and Polls System

Introduction

This area presents the On-chain Referendum and Polls system developed for the LayerK DAO. This system is designed to enhance community engagement and decision-making processes through two types of polls: Referendum-Based Polls and Normal Polls. Referendum-Based Polls have on-chain actions associated with them, enabling the direct implementation of decisions, while Normal Polls gather community sentiment on various topics without triggering immediate actions.

2. Improve Decision-Making: Leverage community insights to make informed decisions.

3. Implement Direct Actions: Facilitate the execution of decisions through Referendum-Based Polls.

4. Gather Community Sentiment: Use Normal Polls to understand community preferences and opinions.
