Synthetix Governance – Election Module

ElectionModule is part of the V3GM release. This is the first release of the governance module. ElectionModule Proxy has four instances, each representing his one of the council bodies (Spartan Council, Ambassador Council, Finance Council, Grant Council).

Synthetix is once again at the forefront of DeFi decentralization and we are very excited to announce features that will revolutionize DeFi governance as we know it.

Here are some quick notes about the new interface and the whole new election process.

Candidates can nominate themselves by connecting their wallets
wallet profile is https://boardroom.io/ This helps populate the wallet profile with off-chain metadata that is stored by signing off-chain messages (wallet profiles can only be edited if you own the wallet). The most important metadata here is that candidates can add their own pitches.
A nominee can only be nominated to one of the four councils.
All ElectionModules utilize a second-order voting mechanism, except the Finance Council, which is linear.
The ElectionModule leverages the Merkle root tree to gather the user’s L1 voting power (if applicable) and combine it with their L2 voting power.
All contract interactions (nominations and votes) take place on the L2 Optimism Mainnet
