Conviction Voting Upgrade!

Hey honey holders :honey_pot:, we got some news!

We have submitted a vote to install a new conviction-voting app.

This new app includes new functionality such as:

  • Abstain proposal. This is signaling proposal to signal that you don’t support any proposals right now.

  • Enable cancelling of proposals (This can be done by the creator of the propsoal or whoever has the CANCEL_PROPOSAL role).

  • Updated threshold formula such that:

    • Uses totalStaked as opposed to totalSupply if it’s above a minimum percentage of totalSupply.
    • Uses The aforementioned percentage of totalSupply if totalStaked is below.
  • Enabled updating conviction settings which includes

    • decay
    • maxRatio
    • weight
    • minThresholdStakePercentage

:information_source: Something to consider is that this will be a fresh install as opossed to an app upgrade, so the current installed conviction voting will be removed from the DAO.

Below is a screenshot of what the vote will execute if approved.

What does this all mean? We’ll go step by step explaining what every of this actions do.

  • Install the new conviction voting app

0xbe75…71bA

We granted the permission to cancel proposals and update conviction settings to two of the trusted core member teams which will take the responsibility to take action when required. The reason for this was mainly because otherwise the actions would always go through a vote which would take 2 weeks to materialize if approved.

If you have any more questions feel free to ask!

That’s a great work, thanks for taking the time to write the script @fabriv.

While installing CV to CommonsStack DAO I’ve found a couple of issues:

  • The signature is malformed and may cause an error when trying to execute the current vote (we probably will need to create a new vote with the fixed script).
  • I’m not sure about this one but I think the appId for convicton-voting.open.aragonpm.eth should be 0x589851b3734f6578a92f33bfc26877a1166b95238be1f484deeaac6383d14c38, and not 0xabb88...afB2. This is what I obtain when running this snippet on remix:
pragma solidity ^0.4.24;


contract Namehash {

    /// Events
    event Log(bytes32 appId);
    
    bytes32 internal constant APM_NODE = 0x9065c3e7f7b7ef1ef4e53d2d0b8e0cef02874ab020c1ece79d5f0d3d0111c0ba;

    function apmNamehash(string name) internal pure returns (bytes32) {
        return keccak256(abi.encodePacked(APM_NODE, keccak256(bytes(name))));
    }

    function getNamehash() public {
        bytes32 _appId = keccak256(abi.encodePacked(apmNamehash("open"), keccak256("conviction-voting")));
        emit Log(_appId);
    }
}

The strange thing is that I only get the IPFS UI when using the 0xabb88...afB2 appId, so I guess this is the correct one. Do you know is this appId obtained?

Oh shoot, you are right :slightly_frowning_face:
We will need to create the vote again yes, apologies for this.

Yes, we are using conviction-beta.aragonpm.eth for this one.

I have created the new vote with the fix. Thanks @sem for pointing it out.

This script also includes one more action which will revoke the permission to the old conviction voting app for transfering funds from the vault.
