Approval voting is a method where voters can approve of any number of candidates. A voter may select one or more candidates they find acceptable, rather than being restricted to a single choice. The candidate who garners the most approvals is declared the winner. This system seeks to provide a more nuanced expression of voter preference compared to plurality voting.
Context
Discussions surrounding approval voting frequently arise in contexts of decentralized governance proposals and on-chain decision-making processes within blockchain protocols. Its utility is often debated in relation to its capacity to mitigate strategic voting and promote broader consensus among token holders or participants. The practical implementation and potential effects on governance outcomes are key areas of ongoing analysis and discourse in the digital asset space.
This research reveals that simple, intuitive voting in committee-based consensus protocols converges exponentially to optimal outcomes, enhancing blockchain scalability and security.
