Step 1: Access the PoSciDonDAO Protocol

  • Visit the PoSciDonDAO Protocol at . Log in using browser wallet, WalletConnect, Google mail, or email.

Step 2: Check Your SCI Token Balance and Voting Power

Understanding Your Voting Power

Your voting power is directly linked to the number of SCI tokens you’ve locked but varies depending on the proposal type:

  • Proposals with Quadratic Voting Disabled:

    • Your voting power equals the number of tokens you’ve locked.

  • Proposals with Quadratic Voting Enabled:

    • Your voting power is calculated as the square root of the number of tokens locked.

Additional Requirements for Quadratic Voting

Congratulations!

Your SCI tokens are now locked, and you’re ready to participate in PoSciDonDAO governance. Your voting power is determined dynamically based on the proposal type, ensuring fair and impactful participation.

To vote on proposals with quadratic voting enabled, you must own Zeronym's Soulbound Token (SBT). Learn more about obtaining an SBT by visiting the dedicated guide .
