Introduction
What is a DAO?
A DAO is an organization represented by coded rules as a transparent computer program. These organizations are managed by its members and no central body manages them; The reason for this is that all the rules are written by codes and are executed automatically.
What realms provide?
Provides a platform for builders on Solana to create a DAO, manage their members, vote on proposals, and allocate their treasury.
What snapshot provide?
Snapshot is a decentralized voting system that allows users to create proposals and vote off-chain. This allows holders to vote without paying gas.
Method
-
the start date that I chose For snapshot and realms is the start date of realms data which is '2021-11-29' and this rule is for all the analyses except daily Top Dao
\
-
Daily Top dao is for the last 100 days for both of snapshot and realms
\
-
For realms stats I used solana.core.fact_proposal_votes with GOVERNANCE_PLATFORM='realms' to filter the realms Vote transactions, and I collect the realms IDs for each Dao to specify them in some analytics from the Dao page on realms website. For example, for mango DAO we can collect the realms ID from this page which the ID is equal to Pubkey
\
-
For snapshot stats I used ethereum.core.ez_snapshot For All networks
Conclusion
-
in the daily stats such as Votes number, unique wallet and active proposals we can see increase for realms unlike snapshot
-
snapshot attracted more users to have activity on it compare to realms.
-
Whales has influence on snapshot more than whales have on realms.
-
Users on snapshot attracted to layer 2 and airdrop daos and on other have realms which the top dao for it is grape which is a decentralized social networking
-
for better decentralized system we can offer limit for amount of delegation, encouraging users to delegate in a decentralized manner But in any case, we can never completely neutralize the impact that whales can have.

Overview
what we will cover in this dashboard:
- comparing weekly or daily activity
- comparing user activity base on their number of Votes
- compare market share or share of their chain users
- how is the Demographic for the Both?
- Which Daos have the most share of Votes or proposals?
- Daily Top Dao for Both in the last 100 Day
Weekly Votes Number :
- the highest number of Votes for snapshot was on Apr 11, 2022 with 665K Vote and for realms was on Jul 20, 2022 with 1631 Vote
- we can see clearly that for realms and Over time, the number of votes per week has increased, in the first week the 6-week moving average was on 69 Vote but on the last week this number increased to 239 Vote that is mean more than 300% increasing. On the other hand we have snapshot which this number has not increased significantly
weekly unique wallet or voter:
- the highest number of Voter for snapshot was on Aug 15, 2022 with 128KK unique Voter and for realms was on May 2, 2022, with 1060 Voter
- Also, we can see the increasing in numbers for realms which the 6-week ma increased more than 300% from the first week and for snapshot is increased from 56K to 62K which is not huge
weekly active proposals:
- the most active week for snapshot was on Dec 6, 2021 with 1555 active proposals and for realms was on Aug 8, 2022 with 247 active proposals
- here for snapshot Not only is there no increase in the statistics, but there is a very significant decrease, the 6-week MA decreased from 1366 to 664 more than 50%. On the other hand for realms we can the huge increasing from 49 to 16 more almost 400% increasing
Let’s take a look at Voters base on their Votes number. For realms 80% of users have below 5 Votes, this number for snapshot users is 90%. Also, percent of realms users which votes more than 100 is 0.632% and on the other hand for snapshot is 0.145%. From these stats we can conclude that realms users engaged with the platform more than snapshot users and have more activity.
Snapshot is available for multiple chain such as Ethereum, polygon or avalanche etc. we include all the users of all chains in this analyze, and we can see that 1.612% of the users that were active from '2021-11-29' date was active on snapshot also, other thing here we can see is daily market share for snapshot, if we exclude the outlier data on Apr 15, 2022 we can see that highest share of market was on Apr 25, 2022 with 13%
On the other hand we have realms which the share of market for this platform is 0.0458% and the highest daily share of market was on May 2, 2022, with 0.0997%.
From these stats we can conclude that snapshot attracted more users to have activity on it compare to realms.
We can see here that shrimps has bigger share in realms compare to snapshot, from this we can conclude that whales has influence on snapshot more than whales have on realms.
The Top dao for snapshot base on number of Votes arbitrum-odyssey with 582K Vote.
The Top dao for realms base on number of Votes grape with 3K Vote.
From the above statements we can see that users on snapshot attracted to layer 2 and airdrop daos and on other have realms which the top dao for it is grape which is a decentralized social networking. the most active dao for snapshot is snapshot dao with 932 proposals and for realms is UXD protocol with 552 proposals.
In the daily Top dao base on Votes number for snapshot we can see that most of the days the top dao is opcollective dao and for realms is grape.


For solana :
when BALANCE <= 1 then 'shrimp'
when BALANCE > 1 and BALANCE <= 10 then 'crab'
when BALANCE > 10 and BALANCE <= 100 then 'octopus' when BALANCE > 100 and BALANCE <= 500 then 'Fish'
when BALANCE > 500 and BALANCE <= 1000 then 'dolphin' when BALANCE > 1000 and BALANCE <= 5000 then 'shark' when BALANCE > 5000 then 'whale'
For Ethereum:
when ETH_balance <= 0.01 then 'shrimp' when ETH_balance > 0.01 and ETH_balance <= 0.1 then 'crab' when ETH_balance > 0.1 and ETH_balance <= 1 then 'Octopus' when ETH_balance > 1 and ETH_balance <= 10 then 'Fish' when ETH_balance > 10 and ETH_balance <= 100 then 'dolphin' when ETH_balance > 100 and ETH_balance <= 1000 then 'shark' when ETH_balance > 1000 then 'whales'
