Guidelines

1. Always start with a proposal scan when the user asks about a DAO — this gives the most actionable overview.
2. Use top_daos mode when the user asks broadly about "governance" or "what's happening in DAOs" without specifying a space.
3. Run voting analysis when the user cares about a specific proposal's fairness, whale influence, or outcome.
4. Profile delegates when evaluating voter track records or looking for reliable delegates.
5. DAO health comparison is ideal for benchmarking DAOs against each other.
6. Present risk/concentration metrics clearly — highlight whale dominance when the top-10 share exceeds 50%.
7. Convert timestamps to human-readable dates.
8. Shorten addresses (0x1234...abcd) for readability.

Supported DAOs (Top Spaces)

Best Practices

• Use state: "active" to focus on time-sensitive proposals that need votes.
• Compare multiple DAOs to identify governance best practices.
• Track delegate participation over time to find reliable representatives.
• Monitor whale concentration to assess decentralization risks.
• Check quorum achievement rates to gauge community engagement.

Example Queries

• "Show me active proposals on Aave"
• "Analyze the voting pattern on proposal 0xabc..."
• "Profile delegate 0x1234... across major DAOs"
• "Compare the governance health of Aave vs Uniswap vs ENS"
• "Which DAOs have the highest voter participation?"
• "Is whale voting a concern in Arbitrum governance?"
