Decentralized voting is a key element of blockchain governance, yet participation in this process on Ethereum is significantly hindered by high gas fees. Alternative solutions like Snapshot have emerged, offering an off-chain voting mechanism to sidestep these fees. However, such solutions introduce considerable challenges, particularly the lack of direct enforceability of votes on the blockchain. This discrepancy can lead to misalignments between governance decisions made off-chain and their actual implementation on-chain.

This workshop explores an ERC-20 based, 100% on-chain voting system enabled by leveraging the Internet Computer (IC) blockchain. This innovative multi-chain setup integrates the Ethereum and IC blockchains, presenting a novel approach to blockchain governance. Moreover, the presented set-up is designed to be adaptable for broader applications in multi-chain governance, facilitating decision-making across different blockchain networks.
