What is liquid-democracy-holochain and what is it for?
liquid-democracy-holochain is a Holochain app for making group decisions, in which a participant can vote directly on a proposal or hand their voting power to someone they trust. Its repository describes it as a peer-to-peer platform where proposals and votes live on the network its users share rather than on a central server.
liquid-democracy-holochain is a Holochain app for group decision-making. Its repository describes it as a peer-to-peer liquid democracy platform in which participants create proposals and then either vote on them directly or hand their voting power to someone they trust. The code is written in Rust against the Holochain development kit, and the project keeps its records on the network shared by its users rather than on a central server.
The approach it puts in practice sits between everyone voting on every question and handing all decisions to a small set of representatives. A participant can keep their own vote on the subjects they care about and delegate the rest, choosing whom to trust on each one. Proposals are grouped into seven policy areas, and the repository notes that no server sits behind the app.
For example, a community that shares a water source could open a proposal in the water domain, let members vote on it, and let those who would rather not follow the details delegate their say to someone they trust on that subject. The repository's README carries the project's own description, feature list and installation steps.
