Hello everyone, I’m Mia, an enthusiast of DAO and also a builder of a dedicated DAO discovery and anylitical platform called thepass.to. Over the past period, we’ve delved deeply into The Graph Advocate DAO and are thrilled to witness the high-quality discussions and growth within the community. We believe that, as DAOs evolve, transparency and accountability become increasingly crucial. This not only allows existing members to better understand the progress of DAOs but also lowers the entry barriers for newcomers.
As a result, we propose to collectively establish a dedicated transparency and accountability dashboard for The Graph Advocate DAO. The tracked content on the website would include an overview of DAO data, treasury balance, governance data, voters and delegators, as well as DAO committees. This would be beneficial for:
- Understanding the status of the treasury and potential optimizations.
- Improved tracking of proposal progress and funded project developments.
- Aggregation and data analysis of voter profiles and profiles of funded individuals.
- Governance data and comparisons with other DAOs in the industry to provide data-driven optimization.
Design concepts and content included in transparency data website
- The website will adhere to the color tones and style of The Graph UI.
- It will be using an independent domain that is related to The Graph Advocate DAO.
- The website is dedicated to helping users understand the transparency and openness of the DAO.
1. Data Overview:
The homepage of the website provides a concise overview, including Token status, Treasury balance, number of proposals, and the total count of Voters and Delegators, enabling users to quickly grasp an overall understanding of The Graph Advocate DAO.
2. Treasury Insight:
The treasury balance section offers a comprehensive view of The Graph Advocate DAO financial health and assets management. This results in better decision-making, acts as a performance evaluation indicator, brings more financial transparency and boosts engagement and DAO discussions within the community.
- Treasury balance over time
- Treasury address aggregation
- Assets in holding in details
- Treasury asset performance and market index comparison

3. Governance Data:

4. Voter and Delegator:
By having a “Voters and Delegators” dashboard, The Graph Advocate DAO community has a better view of voting patterns such as who and how they voted which will ultimately lead in more recognition to active DAO participants, more informed token delegations, raise participation in decision-making as well as governance efficiency and community engagement.
- Basic data
- Top Voters
- Top Proposers
- Detailed list of Voters based on different criteria
- Individual details page for Voters (Delegators)
- Graph depicting % of delegated Voting Power over time

5. DAO Committee Members and Relevant Contacts:
Introduction of DAO committee members and other relevant contacts, providing users with insights into the backgrounds and roles of decision-makers and related individuals.
Grants and timeline
Below is our development plan, which includes personnel involved, timeline, and development costs. With the grant in hand, our primary objective is to conduct in-depth exploration of DAO data and enhance the DAO transparency and accountability.
We want to express our commitment to participating, so
- The grant amount we are applying for is 4.5 ETH, which represents a fraction (35%) of our development costs.
- Additionally, we aim to provide the community with 2 monthly transparency reports for free.
We hope that through this, the community can sense our sincerity and our genuine interest in participating in the DAO and wish to gather community feedback during this trial period to determine whether continuing this initiative is deemed worthwhile.
