Should the following $5,001 grant in the Core Unit category be approved?
Abstract
Low voter turnout is a persistent problem in decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), including Decentraland. These issues can result in governance decisions being made by a small subset of the community, or in a lack of engagement and buy-in for key decisions.
Our proposal seeks to address this problem by increasing voter turnout and community engagement in Decentraland’s governance process. We will achieve this by leveraging our automated proposal notification tool and direct voting system, which streamlines the voting process and makes it easier and more convenient for members to participate in governance.

Description
We propose leveraging our automated proposal notification tool and direct voting system, which streamlines the voting process and makes it easier and more convenient for members to participate in governance. Our notification tool will send email notifications to all DAO members about new proposals, increasing voter turnout and promoting more active participation from the community. What’s more, our email feature uses ChatGPT’s language generation technology to summarize each proposal, making it easier for people to quickly understand the key points and make informed voting decisions. The direct voting system will allow members to vote on proposals with a few clicks within the notification email, further streamlining the process and making it even more convenient for members to participate in governance.
How it works:
1- Decentraland members can opt-in to receive email notifications through our website.
2- Whenever there is a new proposal, our automated notification tool will send an email to all opted-in members. This email will include a summary of the proposal, generated using ChatGPT’s language generation technology, to make it easier for members to quickly understand the key points.
3- Each email will include a link to the proposal page where members can directly cast their vote on the proposal.
In summary, our proposal to increase voter turnout and community engagement in Decentraland’s governance process is a critical step in building a more democratic and inclusive community. Our proposal leverages our automated proposal notification tool and direct voting system, which streamlines the voting process and makes it easier and more convenient for members to participate in governance. We believe that our project will make a meaningful contribution to the growth and success of the Decentraland community, and we are excited to partner with Decentraland to help build a more participatory and effective governance system.
