DeGOV testing report

[SasoLithops]

Posting first findings from 2 weeks ago:

This Add Action could have explanation next to it, as when I did my first proposal I had no idea what it does and to seek help from developers(link or mail to them could be added by any DAO using platform), so it is easy for people like me to finalize the prosposal.

[SasoLithops]

Yes sure. Sorry I sometimes don't explain well🫣🤐

Let me know if this sketch helps if not will type one tomorrow.

[SasoLithops]

Hi Bear again!

First is a question who will/can have authority to change those parameteters?

[boundless-forest]

Most of those parameters are configured in the deployed governance contracts. So the parameters are determined by the owners of the contracts.

[SasoLithops]

Ok. So they can only be changed through governance voting and not by individual DAO member?

[boundless-forest]

Yes, you are right.

[SasoLithops]

Here is a bug. Those squares when I write in Proposal, don't show in Preview nor in final Proposal. So maybe that square tool could be removed.

[boundless-forest]

Nice catch. tracked in #93

[SasoLithops]

Maybe this is normal now, but to me also insert table looks very basic with just some horizontal lines:

Totally filled:

[boundless-forest]

Tracked #94

[SasoLithops]

Can I also test in adding action and transfer some Ring among my accounts?

[boundless-forest]

No, you cannot do that. Since the governance platform is built around the timelock(treasury) contract, when you add a transfer action, that means you are transferring RING from the treasury to the target address. You can try to do that in the degov test environment as the second screen shot shows. It currently has 18 RING in the treasury. You can transfer 1 RING to your address.

[SasoLithops]

Oh yes makes sense. Thank you. I will try in testnet and send from and to treasury.

[SasoLithops]

Maybe would be good to add time left to vote here too:

As only here is small and not esay to find:

[boundless-forest]

Will consider this in the later ui improvement version.

[SasoLithops]

Would be good maybe if this ID took you directly to explorer. Not sure why it has copy as if you want to check it you need to open explorer and then paste it. Or maybe both options be given if other cause?

Sorry but could you please explain what is the difference between ID and View on block explorer, as ID doesn't show up in explorer and those are two different things?

[boundless-forest]

The ID refers to the proposal ID, take 0x147d932bb5f83fbbef7a347e2c908a30dfe717aac687f5cf576ea2b1d345d56c as a example, which is the hashed value of the proposal. the proposal url looks like this: https://degov-dev.vercel.app/proposals/0x147d932bb5f83fbbef7a347e2c908a30dfe717aac687f5cf576ea2b1d345d56c.

For the explorer link, it only supports tx hash instead of the proposal hash(id). For example, https://explorer.darwinia.network/tx/0x4cb788c7cf586b7131f280c00f62f834fcd18ee24b85c7b062e846dbc9f3ec79, the view on block explorer showed in the screenshot refers to the propose proposal tx hash. If we change
it to the proposal id, the explorer doesn't know how to parse it.

I think make Proposed on: Apr 5th, 2025 to a clickable link is a good idea. It can redirect to the explorer page of the proposal creation. Whatever, super nice finding!

[SasoLithops]

Thank you for explaination. Got it👍
This will be super easy to use and check for any DAO member👏💪

[boundless-forest]

Tracked #95

[SasoLithops]

Maybe some tutorial should say like:

Be sure to Queue and Execute proposal once End voting period confirmed.

I am sure this is not important to those writting proposal many times, but I for example forgot twice already. Unless of course proposals will be proposed only by few experienced and not any DAO member.

Not sure what this one will execute? I did not add action?

[boundless-forest]

For the proposal without action, the execution workflow it the same as the proposal with action.If no actions provide, then no meaningful action will be executed. The proposal status need to be updated only after the proposal is executed.

[SasoLithops]

Profile tab could also have

My Proposals

where you can see all your proposals, not to search among them if many.

[boundless-forest]

tracked #98

[SasoLithops]

Hi @boundless-forest I found two more possible issues.

First one I see on phone like this:

A) Vertcal look

B) Landscape look

Maybe it should be through whole screen.

Second one is:

When typing the number it suggest it auto correts when I am over available number. In first image when it needed only one more zero to be 3390000 all is fine as number is below available:

But when I inputed another 0 so it was supposed to be 3390000 it autocorected me to max ammount. I guess it is coded as when typing number above max in gives max value(which is in a way good too)

My proposal is just make it if you click on number available it shows you max immediately.

Clicking this:

Will give you this:

Let me know if I make sense.My English😵‍💫

[boundless-forest]

• First one: we currently only support the desktop version. The mobile and pad versions would be supported in the phase 2.0. UI adoption for mobile #106
• Second one: I think you meant to add a shortcut like Max, so it's easier for the users to choose the maximum amount. right?

[SasoLithops]

1. Noted!

2. Yes sorry I should have just written Max🤦😉

Following!

Need to have some difference in the UI for each DAO - like a logo next to DeGoV or something

[boundless-forest]

Truly constructive suggestion. I'll add this in the next iteration of the UI improvement. Please try and provide feedback for other functionalities as well.

[nblogist]

Focusing on that - this week!

[nblogist]

NO way to connect wallet - as soon as we get on the website:

have to click on New Proposal

to get this page:

and the top - right botton only pop ups when i canceln the popup after clicking the connect wallet button:

[boundless-forest]

I didn't got your point. In my side, every page in the right navigation bar will has a "Connect Wallet" button. I cannot see this in your screenshot. Can you please check it again, maybe you need to maximize the window to see it.

[nblogist]

Wow - my GH didn't give me notifications i guess - will check in the morning and report back!

[nblogist]

tried on all several browsers - you are right - it is there now - last time i was testing it didn't pop up - perhaps fixed!

Thanks we can resolve this

[nblogist]

Suggestion:
I think we should show “X days ago” instead of full date here.

feels more natural and helps users quickly see what’s recent vs. old. right now stuff like “Apr 9” doesn’t really tell me how urgent or relevant it is unless I do the math. and for governance, that quick context matters.

maybe we keep full date on hover?

[boundless-forest]

Nice suggestion. I got a idea to design the date display like github, it will show the date like "3 days ago", "last week", "last month", etc. I think this is more user friendly. What do you think?

[boundless-forest]

See #164

[nblogist]

Suggestion- remove the scroll-
There is a scroll on the right that basically doesn nothing except make the page go up and down - the content is visble either way

[boundless-forest]

This is necessary for all kind of size of the window. So we'd better to keep it.

[nblogist]

Some notes on this

1. Vote “against” numbers feel too muted — maybe give them more visual weight? especially in proposals where that’s the dominant outcome. maybe combine into a single “for vs against” bar?
2. Vote “against” numbers feel too muted — maybe give them more visual weight? especially in proposals where that’s the dominant outcome. maybe combine into a single “for vs against” bar?
3. Not sure if it’s handled already, but do we have nice empty states for proposals/delegates if count = 0?
4. “Executed” and “defeated” feel too close visually. maybe worth giving them more distinct colors so status pops quicker?

[nblogist]

Suggestions for:

1. Since we are aiming for better UX -might be useful to show a small “new” badge or pulse for recently added proposals. helps users quickly spot new stuff without relying on dates alone.
2. Would be cool to make table headers sortable — at least for time, status, and vote counts. even just showing arrows would signal that.
3. Titles alone don’t always give enough context. maybe support 1-line description or tags (I LOVE TAGS LIKE: "Budget", "Staking", "Governance")? could make it easier to scan proposal types fast.

[nblogist]

Suggestions for:

1. Almost all rows have blank delegate statements. maybe hide the column if empty, or prompt delegates to add one (“add yours” or something like that)? otherwise just feels like empty space.OR default sort should start with delegate that have a statement.
2. Could be cool to show reputation signals next to delegates — like badges (“active voter”, “top 5% turnout”) or connected Twitter/GitHub. makes delegation less of a blind pick.
3. Thinking scalable- thinking we should add sort + filter tools here. like:

• sort by power, alpha, or recent activity,
• filter to show “has statement”, “ENS only”, or “top 10%” gets hard to scan once this list grows — helps users choose wisely instead of random address click.

4. “view more” feels a little vague — maybe infinite scroll or numbered pagination would be more standard?
5. Small thing - but "delegate" button will benefit from a but of color change - pop up when i hover over it!

[nblogist]

Suggestions for:

1. the line “Delegating 10.00K voting power to himself” sounds a bit clunky and awkward haha — maybe reword to “Self-delegated voting power: 10.00K”? cleaner and avoids confusion.
2. Received delegations table’s already showing delegator + date + amount (nice), but could go further by showing history (in case that isn't handled yet) — like if that delegator changed their vote recently or re-delegated from someone else. maybe a tooltip or small icon for “recent delegation change” could be clean?
3. Will be cool to add a small activity feed — last 3–5 governance actions: proposals voted on, delegation changes, etc. makes profile feel less static and more alive!
4. Profile already shows socials — GOOD!!. could level this up with badges based on onchain or governance activity. stuff like:
   -- 🗳️ Active Voter — (voted on X proposals last 30d)
   -- 💬 Has Statement
   -- 📈 Top 10% Voting Power
   -- 🧠 Early Delegate — (active since early round)
   these can show up here and next to their name in the delegates list — helps build trust when browsing delegates or looking at someone's profile.
5. Since we have that data - although optional but powerful: a small graph of voting power over time (last 30d or 90d) would be sick. helps show traction and delegation changes at a glance.

[nblogist]

Suggestions for:

1. We should definitely pull in RING price — without it, total value = N/A which kinda defeats the purpose of showing the dashboard. even a cached or fallback oracle is better than blank.
2. “no assets have been configured” sounds like dev console language. pks replace with something friendlier like “nothing here yet” or “DAO hasn’t added tokens”?
3. Even if price isn’t there, don’t just say N/A — could show "--" or a loader until we fetch the price? just feels cleaner than dead info. N/A feels blah..
4. Safe assets section is kinda confusing — is this meant to show gnosis safes? maybe add tooltip or label so it’s clear what it is and how it’s different from timelock assets?
5. Tiny thing but “total value” should be clearer — like “total treasury value” or “DAO assets (USD)” to avoid any ambiguity.

[nblogist]

Suggestion for:

1. Feels like the ENS should be primary in this dropdown — show 0xfurqan.eth big, and maybe put the wallet address under it or on hover. ENS is more human-readable and recognizable.
2. Would be useful to have a “View on Explorer” button here (next to copy maybe). standard in most dapps — helps with quick context or external lookup.

Sorry for the spam! Good work @boundless-forest and team!! ❤️

Sorry for the spam! Good work @boundless-forest and team!! ❤️

Lots of goog tips, I'll not reply to your every suggestion at once, consider them later, if it's nice, I'll create a issue to track it and reply in your thread.

[nblogist]

Sounds good!! - I don't expect immediate resolve - but it is important for me to bring these things to notice - since this is what we will differentiate our platform on.
