# Who Has Voting Power?

## What types of on-chain activity may indicate a good, informed decision maker?

These could be pulled into separate decision-making DAOs in later stages.

#### **Possible Cohorts:**

* DevCon POAP holders
* EthGlobal winners
* Kickback attendees
* Smart contract deployers (deployed >5 contracts)
* Gitcoin donors (funded >10 different projects)
* Local leaders in different Ethereum communities around the world
* Most active voters in existing DAOs
* Addresses initiated before 2016
* Noobs? (suggested because of the UX gap in the ecosystem)
* Some kind of cross-ecosystem cohort, to bring Ethereum stakeholders into dialogue with real-world problems (related to UX evolution / new user adoption)
* Public goods funding communities (Gitcoin, Giveth, etc) - they each have governance token lists
