Decentralized Voices Cohort 5: REEEEEEEEEE DAO

REEEEEEEEEE DAO is back again, we are a collective of seasoned builders who’ve weathered both bull and bear markets, running validators and contributing deeply across the DeFi landscape. Our backgrounds span credit compliance, engineering, and governance, giving us a practical edge in understanding how decentralized systems actually work and where they break down. Our mission is clear: simplify and strengthen governance in the Polkadot ecosystem, while unflinchingly calling out what’s broken, misaligned, or just plain wrong. We’re here to build better mechanisms, foster real accountability, and ensure this ecosystem grows with intention, but not inertia. Also, it’s “10 Es”, that’s how we go by.

  1. What are our goals/visions?

Our main goal is to support the development of tools and infrastructure that makes Polkadot great again. We see Polkadot not just as another cryptocurrency, but as the foundation for next-generation protocols. Within our DAO, we’re also committed to bring accountability. We’re seeking path to build an auditing platform to track post-funding projects, ensuring they deliver on their promises through comments, ratings, and feedback. By increasing transparency, we aim to spark more collaborations among serious builders while keeping recipients accountable. Simply put, we want stakeholders to clearly see whether the referenda they support are delivering the results they expect effectively.

  1. What Have We Accomplished?

Here are some milestones that we’re proud of:

Nearly 1.2 million delegations secured: A testament to the trust placed, and our commitments to the ecosystem.

Active participation in referenda: From Polkadot to Kusama, our members consistently engage with proposals that shape the ecosystem since our inception.

Constructive criticism where it counts: Our “Nay” votes come with feedbacks, ensuring proposers know where we stand and how to improve.

Openness to dialogue: We value collaboration, and we are willing to revisit proposals when proponents address our concerns.

These accomplishments showcase our commitment to thoughtful governance, community empowerment, and the Polkadot ecosystem’s growth.

  1. What Are Our Values?

Cut To The Chase: No hidden agendas. No corporate speak. Just straight talk and real action.

Think Different: The system is broken. We’re here to fix it, not replicate it.

Open Doors, High Standards: OG or newbie - bring value, you belong.

Serious Work, Light Hearts: Governance is complex. A little bit of memes help. REEEEEEEEEE!!

  1. What does this DAO do?

We take a no nonsense approach, and think of us like a precision machine with an open forum. Every proposal gets dissected down to its core, judged on its merits and impact on the Treasury. We don’t play favoritism, unless someone has a track record of bad decisions, in which case, we pay closer attention. If there’s a problem, we call it out. If there’s a better way forward, we push for it. And if someone proves us wrong, we’re not afraid to change our stance.

  1. How Are Members Involved?

This isn’t a “vote and forget” DAO, we expect members’ active participation:
Read the proposals. Know what you’re voting on instead of just following the herd.
Think critically. Keep the Why at the forefront of the decision.
Give feedback. If you’re voting “No,” say why and what could make it a “Yes.”
Join the conversation. Governance doesn’t improve if everyone stays silent.

Missing a few votes is fine, we understand life happens. But if you consistently disappear or cast votes without thought, we’ll notice. This isn’t a social club, we’re here to make changes. Whether you’re a dev spotting contract flaws or a DeFi degen who understands incentives, your insights matter, especially when you share them.

  1. How Do We Vote?

Voting in REEEEEEEEEE DAO is all about autonomy and accountability. Our Chaos DAO Discord bot drops new referenda in the voting channel with a TL;DR and links to the full proposal. We expect you to read the details. Voting blindly, you’re part of the problem. Each post includes everything that our members need, from referendum background to relevant links. While our moderators continuously add materials like related AAG episodes and other key resources for quick access of information. Lastly, there are only two voting policies here, 1) Members do not solicit any other members of their voting decision. 2) Disclosure of conflict of interest is mandatory and no exception.

  1. How Do reach us?

To reach out to us, teams can either send in their inquiries directly on X’s DM (https://x.com/REEEEEEEEEEDAO) where we can arrange a discussion on Discord or telegram, or you may directly drop your reply to our developing on-chain verified communication tool (https://ocp.reeeeeeeeee.io/) where the bot will carry your notes directly into our internal Discord channel for all of our members to review.
