About the Project
1. What is the Problem or Opportunity?
Voting is the cornerstone of Braintrust’s decentralization ethos. The vast majority of the votes occur “off-chain” on an external voting platform called Snapshot.org. Very few “on-chain” votes occur on the Braintrust platform. In addition, few Braintrust talent users are familiar with decentralized governance processes. While they want to get involved, they find the process clunky, confusing, and high-stakes. This creates a fractured experience and few participants in the governance process.
2. Why now?
As the Grants Program ramps up, voting on grants becomes increasingly important. Visibility into these grants, and participation in the grants are important to BTRST utility and Community participation.
3. Project Overview
This grant will provide detailed product requirements and FIGMA design files to be built and implemented within the Braintrust platform on the Vote Page. The grantee will be asked to decide the best way to show the off-chain votes from Snapshot.org on the /vote page.
