BoardRoom

Basics

• “Boardroom is a Governance Framework and dApp made for Individuals and Companies to manage their Smart Contract Systems on the Public and Permissioned Ethereum Blockchains.”
• “BoardRoom is a next-generation organization governance apparatus that enables distributed decision-making on the blockchain. The platform has systems associated with the stages and organisation of decision-making including: a membership system to link each individual into one BoardRoom, a subcommittee system which allows registration of new members and organizational structure as well as a proposal system and a voting system.”
• From DeFi Rate (13-10-2020):

"Boardroom believes that crypto networks will overtake traditional forms of management and ownership structures. It aims to provide the tooling & infrastructure necessary to scale the new ownership economy through a trusted governance dashboard by supporting protocols like Compound, yEarn Finance, Powerpool, Rarible, Yam, Aave, Balancer, and Curve.

Besides building tools for high-value digital stakeholders to scale their governance participation across various protocols, Boardroom also aims to serve as an aggregator of fragmented data relating to governance. The Boardroom SDK will give builders an easy way to access standardized governance data across protocols. This data can be integrated into any native UI, providing a foundation on which others can continue to build on top of."

History

• From DeFi Rate (13-10-2020):

"Boardroom started as a hackathon project named Kora Governance, the first minimum viable version of Boardroom was launched 4 months ago. Since then, the idea has been able to greatly improve the product with the help of feedback from proven builders and industry leaders such as Stani Kulechov, Kainwarick, Tarun Chitra, MetaCartel Ventures, and more."
