Commonwealth combines the core functionality of Discourse with token-gating and governance interfaces (on-chain, off-chain, and polling) so DAOs can effectively coordinate themselves. This means decentralized governance, community discussions, and more can happen all on Commonwealth. We currently power over 1000+ DAO’s including, dYdX, Axie, Stargate, Osmosis, and Element Finance.
