DeFi DAO Governance Proposals Tracker

What does DeFi Governance Tracker do?

DeFi Governance Tracker monitors active, pending, and closed DAO governance proposals across 500+ decentralized protocols via the Snapshot.org GraphQL API — covering major DAOs including Uniswap, Aave, Arbitrum, ENS, Optimism, Lido, Compound, Balancer, Curve, MakerDAO, and hundreds more. Every proposal record includes vote counts, quorum status, scores, time remaining, and computed signals like vote_outcome_prediction, proposal_impact_score, voter_concentration_risk, and urgency_level so governance researchers, token holders, and protocol analysts never miss a critical on-chain vote.

Why use DeFi Governance Tracker?

• Broad DAO coverage out of the box: The default configuration monitors 20 of the largest DeFi protocols simultaneously. Add any Snapshot space by its ID (found at snapshot.org) to expand coverage to the full universe of 500+ DAOs.
• Governance alpha signals: vote_outcome_prediction (likely_pass / likely_fail / too_close / quorum_risk) and token_price_implication (potentially_bullish / neutral / potentially_bearish) let you act on proposals before outcomes are decided — a key edge for DeFi governance monitoring.
• Whale and concentration analysis: voter_concentration_risk (whale_controlled / moderate_concentration / distributed) and for_vs_against_ratio expose whether a vote is being driven by a handful of large wallets, enabling fairer DAO voting analysis.
• Proposal categorization: Every item is tagged with proposal_category (treasury_spend / protocol_upgrade / parameter_change / emergency_action / governance_meta / grants) and urgency_level so you can triage the feed instantly without reading full proposal text.
• No API key required: Uses the public Snapshot GraphQL endpoint — free, no authentication, available globally. Schedule runs on Apify to receive continuous governance proposal alerts without maintaining your own infrastructure.

How to use DeFi Governance Tracker

1. Go to the Apify Store and open the DeFi Governance Tracker actor page.
2. Click Try for free to open the actor in Apify Console.
3. Leave spaces blank to use the default 20 DAOs, or supply a custom list of Snapshot space IDs.
4. Set state to active (default) to fetch only live votes, or all to include closed proposals.
5. Optionally set minVotes, limit, and includeBody (to fetch full proposal text).
6. Click Save & Run and get results in under 30 seconds.
7. Schedule hourly or daily runs to receive fresh proposal feeds and trigger webhooks for notification workflows.

FAQ

Can I monitor DAOs not in the default list? Yes. Pass any valid Snapshot space ID in the spaces input array. Find space IDs at snapshot.org — the ID appears in the URL (e.g., snapshot.org/#/uniswap → ID is uniswap).

How do I get alerts when a new proposal goes active? Schedule the actor to run every 1–4 hours with state: "active", then connect Apify's webhook to your notification stack (Slack, Telegram, email, PagerDuty). The dataset diff between runs reveals newly opened proposals.

What is the proposal_impact_score based on? The score is computed heuristically from quorum size, treasury mentions in the title, proposal category, DAO follower count, and vote urgency. It is an approximation designed for quick triage — always read the full proposal before making voting or investment decisions.

Disclaimer: Governance data is sourced from the public Snapshot.org GraphQL API and reflects on-chain voting records at the time of each run. Quorum thresholds, vote weights, and space configurations are set by each DAO independently. This data is provided for informational and research purposes only and does not constitute financial, legal, or investment advice. Always verify governance actions directly on Snapshot.org before participating.
