Hey SafeDAO community,
I run ChainSights, an identity-first governance analytics platform. We’ve been analyzing infrastructure DAOs and wanted to share some findings on SafeDAO that might be useful for your governance discussions.
Key observations from our analysis:
Your Governance Score sits at 3.3/10, ranking 3rd among infrastructure DAO peers (behind Arbitrum and ENS). More concerning: it dropped 19% recently, driven entirely by declining governance process indicators.
The numbers that stood out:
-
Human Participation Rate: effectively 0% – even top delegates participate in under 0.6% of votes
-
Nakamoto Coefficient of 6 – only 6 entities needed for majority control
-
17,667 followers, but average proposal engagement of ~170 votes
For comparison: Arbitrum and ENS both achieve 9+ HPR scores, showing it’s possible for infrastructure DAOs.
