摘要

我们对以太坊区块链上三个著名 DAO 治理系统的状态进行了实证研究：Compound、Uniswap 和以太坊名称服务 (ENS)。特别是，我们研究了投票权在这些系统中是如何分配的。利用所有治理代币持有者、代表、提案和投票的综合数据集，我们分析了谁拥有投票权，以及如何利用这种权力来影响治理决策。虽然我们发现大部分投票权集中在少数地址手中，但我们很少观察到这些强大的实体通过选择与整个社区和影响力较小的投票者不同的结果来推翻投票。

Analyzing voting power in decentralized governance: Who controls DAOs?

We empirically study the state of three prominent DAO governance systems on the Ethereum blockchain: Compound, Uniswap and Ethereum name service (ENS). In particular, we examine how the voting power is distributed in these systems. Using a comprehensive dataset of all governance token holders, delegates, proposals, and votes, we analyze who holds the voting power and how this power is being used to influence governance decisions. While we reveal that the majority of voting power is concentrated in the hands of a small number of addresses, we rarely observe these powerful entities overturning a vote by choosing a different outcome than that of the overall community and less influential voters.
