Definition ∞ Voting strategies are the methods and approaches individuals or groups employ when participating in a voting process to achieve specific outcomes. These strategies can range from simple preference expression to complex tactical decisions aimed at influencing the final result. In decentralized systems, voting strategies are particularly relevant for governance participants seeking to affect protocol upgrades, parameter changes, or treasury allocations. The effectiveness of a strategy often depends on the voting mechanism employed and the distribution of voting power.
Context ∞ Voting strategies are a constant point of discussion in the governance frameworks of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) and blockchain protocols. News coverage often analyzes how large token holders, or “whales,” deploy their voting power, the emergence of voting alliances, and the potential for vote delegation to influence decision-making. Understanding these strategies is key to comprehending the power dynamics within decentralized governance.
