On-chain Governance for EVM DAOs

Description

Governance processes for DAOs on Ethereum are costly due to limited scalability and resulting high gas fees. Hence, many DAOs are using tools like Snapshot (https://snapshot.org/) for temperature checks, and DAO contracts are still owned by single accounts or multi-sig contracts. In this bounty, you will explore using the Internet Computer as a governance platform for DAOs on Ethereum or another EVM-compatible chain as a more powerful replacement for Snapshot.

HTTPS outcalls can be used to get a snapshot of DAO governance token holders.
Voting happens with signed messages from token holders.
The owner to contracts of the DAO on the Ethereum network can be set to an account controlled by the governance canister on the Internet Computer using Chain-key ECDSA.
The result of the voting can directly execute changes on Ethereum using Chain-key Signing and HTTPS Outcalls.

* Winner of this bounty will also be eligible for an additional 25k USD DFINITY Developer Grant program.

Grants are wholly separate from this Bounty and are subject to terms managed by the entities providing that funding.
