Governance, in its purest and advanced forms, has never had a strong basis on the internet. Today’s governance is mainly shaped by four key layers: discussion, off-chain governance (also known as consensus check), on-chain governance, and delegation. Products such as Snapshot have mastered off-chain governance, frameworks such as OpenZeppelin’s Bravo and Moloch v3 have increased widespread adoption of on-chain governance, and interfaces such as Sybil have served as a source of truth for delegation.
