Gasless DAO Voting: Tsuko’s Paymaster with Aragon's Solution

Hey, txCitizen!

We’re beyond excited to share a groundbreaking development that’s set to redefine onchain governance for Ethereum Mainnet DAOs. Thanks to Aragon, and with the support of Tsuko, gasless onchain voting is no longer a distant dream—it’s HERE!! 🎉🥳

Let’s dive into how this revolutionary solution is transforming the voting process, and txSync’s role in this major milestone 👇🏻

A Game-Changing Solution: Onchain Voting for Free

Voting on Mainnet has traditionally been expensive, with gas fees often reaching several dollars per transaction. This high cost has been a significant barrier to voter participation, impacting the effectiveness and inclusivity of DAO governance.

Enter Aragon’s latest solution—a game-changing plugin that makes onchain voting completely free!

This is not just a minor improvement—it’s a complete overhaul of how onchain governance can operate. Mainnet DAO participants can cast their votes for free thanks to a Aragon’s Multichain Governance plugin.

Here’s how this solution works:

Token Bridging: Voters start by bridging their tokens from Ethereum Mainnet to ZKsync, prepping them for voting on the L2 network.

Gasless Voting on L2: Once on ZKsync, voters can cast their votes with no gas fees, thanks to Tsuko’s paymaster.

Vote Aggregation: The solution uses LayerZero Labs’ V2 to aggregate votes on the L2 chain and then relays and compiles them on the Ethereum Mainnet. This ensures that while voting happens on ZKsync, the DAO’s governance actions and final decisions are securely executed on Mainnet.

Why This is a Milestone for DAOs

• Onchain Integrity: Aragon’s solution maintains the security and trustlessness of onchain governance while removing financial barriers to participation.
• Enhanced Engagement: By making voting free, more members can engage in the DAO’s decision-making process, leading to more representative and effective governance.
• Innovation in Action: This solution showcases how combining cutting-edge technologies can solve real-world problems in the blockchain space.

Our Role in This

We are always committed to delivering real-world solutions that drive tangible impact. Partnering with Aragon on this innovative project is a testament to our dedication to advancing blockchain technology. Here’s how Tsuko played a crucial role:

• Gasless Transactions: Tsuko uses the power of ZKsync’s native account abstraction and paymasters, making voting on Mainnet completely free for users.
• Paymaster Functionality: By integrating Tsuko, Aragon was able to offer a seamless voting experience without any transaction fees, boosting voter participation.
• Powerful Extensions: Tsuko's advanced extensions feature were key to customizing the solution. The function extension feature allowed Aragon to impose specific constraints, ensuring that the gasless voting system precisely met their unique requirements and use cases. This just shows the level of flexibility and control available through Tsuko’s extensions, allowing for highly tailored and effective implementations.

By enabling gasless voting, we’re helping to lower the barriers to participation and drive more inclusive decision-making within DAOs.

We’re excited to see how this innovation will shape the future of DAO governance and are honored to be part of this transformative journey! Once again, kudos to the whole Aragon team! 💙
