发布时间:Rafael和 Dennison在 2016/2017 年就有了Tally 的构想,并在 2020 年夏天推出。
关于 Tally 的概述
Tally 是一个应用程序,通过投票面板、治理工具、实时研究和分析以及evergreen维基来授权用户拥有治理权,其中 Tally 可用于审查相关治理系统、当前和过去的提案以及个人的数据或代币持有者。除此之外,Tally 应用程序还支持直接投票和委托投票,帮助用户将他们的治理想法付诸行动。
I. 背景:
Rafael Solari 和 Dennison Bertram 在位于纽约市的一个名为 Crypto NYC 的加密联合团队工作。当时,在 2017 年 ICO 热潮期间——他们遇到了很多构建 DAO 工具的项目。 在 2016/2017 年,他们遇到了很多人在思考DAO,但觉得时机不对。为尚不存在的社区和组织构建基础设施目前很困难。
然而,在 2020 年的夏天,他们意识到,在根本上发生了一些变化:社区和组织开始出现!DeFi 治理即是去中心化自治组织。今天,他们正在研究如何管理数十亿美元。Rafael和Dennison兴奋的是2017年的想法实现了。这就是 Tally 诞生的背景。
出于这个原因,他们构建了一个治理应用程序,用于为 Compound 和 Uniswap 等链上治理投票、委托和创建提案,目标是使链上治理发挥作用。
建造 Tally 的目的是什么?
根据Dennison的说法,每个产品都是一段旅程,如果产品制造商是一家初创公司,他们所走的道路会相对坎坷。 加密货币建设者在星期一开始一个项目,到星期五时要么被美国证券交易委员会称其为非法,要么建设者在华尔街日报上被描述为 TopShotNFT 囤积者。 一切都变化如此之快,重要的是要找到未来的愿景,并接受团队不仅在机会中创造价值,也在创造价值过程中创造机会。
对于 Tally 来说,这意味着它在帮助DAO启动飞轮(flywheel)。 换句话说,协议将构建和资助工具开展治理工作。 这些工具辅助更多的团队和社区构建 DAO,之后他们可以为生态系统做出更多贡献。在像 DeFi 这样的新领域,Tally 不能只考虑获取用户和客户,它必须让发展新用户和客户成为可能。
在 Tally,应该关注的核心是治理应该像搭乐高一样。 在标准形状和大小情况下,构建无限数量的可能。以 ERC20为例。 代币的交互操作和无需许可使 DeFi应用 成为可能。
为此,团队决定开始围绕 Compound Finance 的 Governor Alpha 合约构建工具。 很简单。 治理共有 3 个合约,易于推理且安全。 六个月后,团队想法越来越清晰:Compound Governor Alpha 已成为 DeFi 项目及其他项目的决定性基石。 Tally 一直积极回馈社区,支持在 Graph 生态系统中创建测试和开发工具的尝试。
Tally 遵循什么商业模式?
目前,Tally 团队还不确定! 正如他们提到的,这可以追溯到Brian Flynn的藏宝图,他们知道机会就在那里,但他们还到不了。 随着这个生态系统的不断发展,Tally 团队希望以公司的身份来延续生态系统的可持续性发展。另外,这个团队在思考如何在不影响Web3 愿景的情况下创造价值?通过去中心化?

III. Tally 的目标是完成:链上VS链下投票
什么是链上投票?
链上投票是指将个人投票作为交易提交并直接记录在区块链上的治理系统。上链提交需要用户为每张投票支付交易费用。
智能合约可以根据链上投票的结果自动执行提案,无需受信任的第三方或cote 团队制定投票结果。链上投票系统的例子包括 MakerDAO、Aave 和建立在 Compound 治理框架上的协议。
链上投票的好处:
- 比链下投票更安全。
- 无需受信任的第三方来计算或定制选票。
- 通过的提案可以自动执行。
- 适用于批准更改协议或其他高风险投票。
什么是链下投票?
链下投票是指个人投票不作为区块链交易提交的治理系统。链下投票不需要交易费用。
在代币加权投票方案中,会提示用户使用钱包签署消息进行投票,结果通过去中心化的文件存储系统(如 IPFS 或 Arweave)进行存储。虽然这种存储机制降低了篡改投票的风险,但依然存在受信任的第三方。需要使用管理员权限准确计算选票并在链上制定结果。最著名的链下投票系统Snapshot 已被 Yearn Finance 和 Sushiswap 在内的多个协议用作投票工具。
链下投票的好处:
l 投票无需交易费用。
l 更多的参与者参与,特别是来自较少代币持有者和更大社区。
l 链下投票可以通过去中心化的数据存储系统进行记录,降低投票篡改风险。
l 适用于情绪池(sentiment pools)或其他低风险投票。
IV. Tally 背后的功能:
1. Tally 带来更高的透明度:
为了解决透明度问题,Tally 的界面清晰地概述了每个项目的治理活动——如截图所示:

然后在提案层面上,Tally 提供了对谁投票以及如何投票的访问权限。该应用程序通过将用户的地址连接到他们的社交帐户来实现,突出显示 VC 基金、明星或播客的投票及原因。

Compound、Uniswap、Indexed Finance、PoolTogether、Radicle、Idle Finance、Inverse Finance 和 Unslashed Finance 除了其他的,都在。
2. Tally 允许用户设置警报:
用户不必每天浪费时间来了解发生的事情及发生的时间,而是可以选择在新提案投票时通过电子邮件通知提醒。
3. Tally 提供更好的用户体验:
像这种去中心化应用程序的强大之处在于任何人都可以调用这些功能,这意味着利益相关者可以直接在网站的 Tally 应用程序中投票。 不需要访问API,用户只需要足够的gas即可($ETH用于支付交易费用)。

Launch time: Tally idea were thought about in 2016/2017 by both Rafael and Dennison to come later on, in 2020 summer as a real project.
Overview About Tally:
Tally is an application that servers at empowering user owned governance through a voting dashboard, governance tooling, real time research and analysis, and an evergreen wiki, where Tally can be used to review data on governance systems, active and past proposals, and individual delegates or token holders. In addition to that the Tally app also supports direct voting and vote delegation, helping users put their governance insights into action.
I. Background:
Rafael Solari and Dennison Bertram worked out of a New York City-based crypto coworking collective called Crypto NYC. At the time, during the 2017 ICO boom – they met a lot of projects building DAO tools. In 2016/2017, they came across a lot of people thinking about DAOs, but it didn’t yet feel like the time was right. It’s really hard to build infrastructure for communities and organizations that didn’t yet exist.
However, in the 2020 summer, both of them realized that though something fundamental had changed: the communities and organizations suddenly exist! DeFi governances are DAOs. Today they are figuring out how to manage billions of dollars. The future that Rafael and Dennison were excited about in 2017 is now real. So, that’s how Tally was born.
For this reason, they built a governance app for voting, delegating, and creating proposals for on-chain governances like Compound and Uniswap with the goal to make on-chain governance work.
What went into building the Tally?
According to Dennison, every product is a journey, and if products builders are a startup, the path they take is never very clear. In crypto builders start a project on a Monday, and by Friday either the SEC is calling it illegal or the builder is getting profiled on the WallStreet Journal as the Oracle of TopShotNFT collecting. Everything changes so fast that it’s important to find a vision in the future and accept that teams are not only building for an opportunity, but that they are actually building the opportunity at the same time.
For Tally, that means it has to help jump start the DAO flywheel. In other words, protocols will build and fund tools to make governance work. Those tools will let even more teams and communities build DAOs, who can then contribute even more to the ecosystem. In a new space like DeFi, Tally can’t just think about acquiring users and customers, it has to make new users and customers possible.
At Tally, the core decision of what should be focused on is that governance should be like a Lego. If it’s a standard shape and size, then an unlimited number of things can be built on it. Taking for example the ERC20 spec. The interoperability of tokens, and the permissionless interoperability of money have made all of DeFi possible.
To that end, the team decided to start with building tooling around Compound Finance’s Governor Alpha contract. It’s simple. The governance is 3 contracts total, easy to reason about, and secure. After six months the team became more and more clear and about their idea: Compound Governor Alpha has become the defining building block for DeFi Projects and beyond. Tally have been active in giving back to the community as well by supporting efforts to create testing and development tools in the Graph Ecosystem.
What business model Tally follow?
Currently, Tally team is not sure yet! As they mentioned this goes back to Brian Flynn’s Treasure map, where they knew the opportunity is out there, but they still aren’t all the way there yet. Tally team wants to find a balance to the sustainability of themselves as a company as this ecosystem keeps growing. Also, how this team could create value that doesn’t detract from the vision of Web3? Of decentralization?
II.Team members:
l Rafael Solari – CTO & CO-Founder at Tally, Rafel worked as an Engineer at the Namebase company for nearly two years where he built out the API and USD payments. Also, before that he was known as a Data Engineer for Jobr, Inc where he spent more than 3 years as an early engineer.
l Dennison Bertram – CEO & CO-Founder at Tally Governance, Dennison is an avid futurist, artist and serial entrepreneur with a keen eye for the future of technology and its social impacts. He is known as an early block-chain technologist having founded the first Bitcoin Exchange for Czech Crown (BuyBTC.cz), a renowned fashion and commercial photographer that has shot for some of the world’s top names in Fashion and Commerce such as Nespresso, Heineken.
III. What Tally aims to accomplish: On chain vs. Off Chain Voting.
What is On Chain Voting?
On chain voting refers to governance systems where individual votes are submitted as transactions, and recorded directly on the blockchain. Submitting on chain requires users to pay a transaction fee for each vote.
Smart contracts can be designed to execute proposals automatically based on the outcome of on chain votes, removing the need for a trusted third party or cote team to enact vote results. Examples of on chain voting systems include MakerDAO, Aave, and protocols built on Compound’s governance framework.
Benefit of On Chain Voting:
- More secure than of chain voting.
- No trusted third party required to count or enact votes.
- Passed proposals can be executed automatically.
- Works well for approving protocol changes or other high-risk votes.
What is Off Chain Voting?
Off chain voting refers to governance systems where individual votes are not submitted as blockchain transactions. No transaction fees are necessary for off chain votes.
In token weighted voting schemes, users are prompted to sign messages with their wallet to vote, and the resulting data is stored via a decentralized file storage system such as IPFS or Arweave. While this storage mechanism reduces risk of vote tampering, a trusted third party is still. Needed to accurately count the votes and enact the results on chain using admin privileges. The most prominent off chain voting system, Snapshot, has been adopted as a voting tool by several protocol including Yearn Finance and Sushiswap.
Benefits of Off chain Voting:
l No transaction fees required to vote.
l More participation, particularly from smaller holders and wider community.
l Off chain votes can be recorded via decentralized data storage systems, reducing risk of vote tampering.
l Works well for sentiment pools or other low risk votes.
IV. Functionalities behind Tally:
1. Tally brings Greater Transparency:
In an effort to tackle the transparency issue, Tally’s interface provides a clear overview of each projects’ governance activity – as seen in the screenshot below:

Then at the proposal level, Tally provides access to who has voted and how. The app does this by connecting the user’s address to their social account, highlighting exactly VC fund, celebrity, or podcast is voting and why.

Compound, Uniswap, Indexed Finance, PoolTogether, Radicle, Idle Finance, Inverse Finance, and Unslashed Finance are all on there in addition to others.
2. Tally Allows Users to set up alerts:
Instead of having to do a research every day to know what’s going on and when, users can opt in for email alerts to be notified when a new proposal is up for them to vote on.
3. Tally Provides Better UX:
The powerful aspect of decentralized applications like these is that anyone can call the functions, which means stakeholders can vote directly from the Tally application of website. There is no need for an API access, users just need enough gas ($ETH to pay for transaction fees).
