Auto-Vote! A proposal for more convenience and to attract new also larger investors
Proposal: Implementation of “Auto-Vote” – Automated Governance Participation for Jupiter DAO Members
Summary:
This proposal introduces Auto-Vote, a governance feature designed to automatically cast votes on behalf of Jupiter DAO participants based on their pre-defined preferences or delegate settings. The goal is to ensure consistent participation in DAO decisions—even when members are traveling, on business trips, or unable to vote manually—thereby maximizing eligibility for ASR (Active Staking Rewards) and promoting broader governance inclusivity.
⸻
Motivation:
Currently, DAO members who are unavailable during proposal voting windows—due to work, travel, or life demands—risk missing out on voting and, by extension, ASR rewards. This disproportionately affects:
• Mid- and small-cap holders juggling full-time jobs
• Large investors seeking passive exposure without day-to-day involvement
• Overall DAO health, due to lower quorum rates and limited voter representation
Auto-Vote aims to resolve this by offering an automated, opt-in system that casts votes aligned with the member’s governance stance or chosen delegate, ensuring no one is excluded due to temporary unavailability.
⸻
How It Works:
1. Opt-In Activation:
Members enable Auto-Vote via the vote.jup.ag
2. Strategy Selection:
Users choose how their votes should be cast:
• Follow a Delegate: Mirror the votes of a selected delegate address
• Policy-Based Preferences: Choose general stances like Yes to protocol upgrades, No to treasury drains, etc.
• Custom Rules: Advanced users can define voting behavior by category or topic
3. Voting Execution:
• Auto-Vote checks active proposals at each voting window
• Casts vote according to the configured strategy
• Votes are logged and visible to the user for transparency
4. ASR Eligibility Maintained:
• Users with Auto-Vote enabled are fully eligible for ASR rewards
• Ensures reward fairness even when users can’t manually vote
5. Manual Override:
• Users can override Auto-Vote for any proposal
• Notifications sent before Auto-Vote is triggered
⸻
Benefits:
• Fairness: Levels the playing field for busy or offline participants
• Higher Engagement: Increases voter turnout and strengthens governance
• Attractiveness to Larger Holders: Provides set-and-forget participation for passive governance exposure
• Sustainable DAO Growth: Reinforces consistent ASR distribution and builds a healthier, more active community
⸻
Conclusion:
Auto-Vote embodies the decentralized and inclusive spirit of Jupiter DAO. By empowering every holder—regardless of their day-to-day availability—to participate in governance and earn rewards, it strengthens both the DAO’s decision-making and community cohesion.
