Decentralizing Power: Governance & the Active Set

    What is the Question?🚨


    Props 114, 196 & 337 were all passed in an effort to promote decentralization within the ecosystem. How did the voting power of the top 66% of the active set validators change after these proposals were passed?

    How did the nakamoto coefficient change after these events? Did time play a factor? Analyze both voting power & the nakamoto coefficient t+30,+60,&+90 days after these proposals.

    Analyzed Topics:

    Introduction🚩


    What is Osmosis?

    Osmosis is a DEX protocol, which means it uses smart contracts to determine the price of digital assets, to produce liquidity via a peer-to-peer (P2P) methodology, and to exact trades between users. This approach to an exchange platform is known as an AMM — a DEX protocol that prices crypto assets in liquidity pools.

    What is Osmosis Governance?

    Osmosis has an on-chain governance mechanism for passing text proposals, changing consensus parameters, spending funds from the community pool, and for updating Osmosis pool incentives.

    Method⚡


    In this dashboard Im going to explore Proposal 114, 196 and 337 daily & overall stats, how they affected on Osmosis decentralization and take a look at osmosis voting power by validators over time, then see what does its Nakamoto coefficient doing?

    I extracted data from ==Osmosis.core== database provided by Flipsidecrypto and used these 3 tables from it:

    1. osmosis.core.fact_governance_votes
    2. osmosis.core.dim_vote_options
    3. osmosis.core.fact_staking

    Also i only considered successful votes with tx_status = 'SUCCEEDED'

    Dashboard made on ==2022-11-02==
