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.
