Voting Weight

HOW GOVERNANCE WORKS The TDF community uses a voting weight formula that balances different forms of participation.

📊 VOTING FORMULA

Voting Power = ($TDF × 1) + ($Presence × 1) + ($Sweat × 5)

This formula ensures active contributors have meaningful input in governance decisions.

🔢 TOKEN WEIGHTS

TOKEN TYPE	WEIGHT	RATIONALE
$TDF	1×	Financial participation
$Presence	1×	Physical presence
$Sweat	5×	Active contribution

⚖️ BALANCING PRINCIPLES

This system creates:

• Contribution Focus - Active participation has significant impact

• Presence Value - Being physically present matters

• Work Recognition - Contributions are valued in governance

• Multiple Paths - Different ways to participate in decision-making

📈 PARTICIPATION APPROACHES

Different ways to gain voting weight:

• Holding $TDF tokens

• Spending time at TDF

• Contributing work and skills

• Combining all three approaches

🧮 EXAMPLES

PARTICIPANT TYPE	$TDF	$PRESENCE	$SWEAT	TOTAL VOTING WEIGHT
New Visitor	10	0	0	10
Token Holder	100	0	0	100
Regular Resident	20	30	0	50
Active Volunteer	20	10	30	180
Balanced Citizen	50	20	20	170
