Data-Driven Governance: How We Can Empower ShapeShift with Custom Analytics

Proposal Discussion
1

Summary

Our team at PYOR developed a comprehensive governance dashboard for the AAVE ecosystem on Dune, and we’d love to create something similar for ShapeShift.

What We Built for AAVE

Our dashboard provides real-time tracking of critical governance metrics with visualizations like:

Category Analysis: Breaking down proposals by type to reveal governance focus areas and priorities.

Proposal Success & Participation Tracking: Monitoring success rates and participation trends over time to identify engagement patterns.

Delegation Insights: Tracking delegation percentages across proposals to understand voting power distribution evolution.

How This Could Help ShapeShift

Similar visualizations could provide ShapeShift with:

  • Clear visibility into governance focus areas specific to ShapeShift operations
  • Insights into ShapeShift participation trends and voting engagement cycles
  • Understanding of delegation patterns within the ShapeShift community
  • Data-driven foundation for governance improvement strategies tailored to ShapeShift’s ecosystem

What We Can Build For ShapeShift

We could develop:

  • ShapeShift-Specific Governance Analytics: Track proposal categories, voting patterns, and delegate influence
  • Protocol Metrics: Monitor key exchange parameters, FOX tokenomics, and DAO treasury metrics
  • Community Engagement Tracking: Measure participation growth and governance health over time
  • Custom Visualizations: Designed specifically for ShapeShift’s requirements

Our Other Work

We’ve created similar dashboards for other protocols tracking various metrics and agendas. Check out our dune profile for more examples of our work.

Looking for Feedback & Requests

Our team can create custom dashboards (both frontend and on Dune/Flipside) based on community requirements - whether that’s deeper analytics on specific governance aspects, TVL tracking, or other protocol metrics.

We’d love to hear your thoughts on this dashboard or any other dashboard that the community would find value in.

Very interesting charts in the example AAVE dashboard, I’m not sure the DAO has any budget for governance focused dashboards currently but thank you very much for presenting this idea. We do have some DAOboards already but mainly focused on our treasury/revenues and FOX/RFOX tokenomics.

We have had several of these Gov dashboards setup for us, they dont get much if any use.

(i would vote no) Nothing against the platform etc. just use and budget.

Hey @Fireb0mb1 and @Giantkin ,

Thanks for your response. I understand that the governance dashboard may not align with the DAO’s current budget priorities.

We’d be interested to learn if the DAO has any other data requirements or analytics gaps we could help address. Our team is flexible and can work on both frontend implementation and backend data processing through Dune/Flipside.

Would you be open to sharing what specific data challenges the ShapeShift DAO is currently facing?

Most of the dashboards we have built currently are maintained by our DAO Finance Committee (DFC) and some of the development is outsourced, so maybe @ProfMcC (ping) has more information about this, if he’s willing to share obviously.
