Census of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations Across Platforms (2025)

This dataset provides a comprehensive, multi-platform overview of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) as of October 2025, covering DAO deployments, proposals, and voting activity across 6 major platforms: Aragon, DAOHaus, DAOstack, Realms, Snapshot and Tally. It is designed to support research in blockchain governance, decentralized finance, and community-driven decision-making. The dataset is structured into three CSV files: deployments.csv – Contains metadata for each DAO deployment, including a unique identifier (deployment_id), platform name (platform), DAO name (name), number of proposals (proposals_count), number of distinct voters (unique_voters), total votes cast (votes_count), and estimated voting power (estimated_vp). proposals.csv – Contains detailed information on proposals submitted to each DAO, including a unique proposal ID (proposal_id), associated DAO deployment (deployment_id), creation date (date), number of votes received (votes_count), total voting power used (total_vp), and the platform (platform). votes.csv – Contains individual vote records, including a unique vote ID (vote_id), associated proposal (proposal_id), corresponding DAO deployment (deployment_id), voter address (voter), timestamp of the vote (date), voting power used (weight), and platform (platform). Data collection for this release was completed in October 2025. The full data acquisition and processing pipeline typically requires approximately two to three weeks, involving the retrieval, validation, and integration of governance data from each platform’s public APIs and subgraphs. This dataset is suitable for empirical research on DAO governance dynamics, voting behavior, and multi-platform analysis. Researchers can use this dataset to analyze trends in proposal creation, voter participation, and governance outcomes in decentralized communities. The code for collecting and formatting the data is in the github repository linked. The instructions of use, requirements, the data loading and some example analyses are in the MSR submission folder of the github repository. Acknowledgements We would like to acknowledge the use of tools and support provided by DAO Analyzer dataset, GraphiQL, Tally API Reference, and AI-Powered RPC Infrastructure for dApps & Chains | dRPC for data extraction. These resources were indispensable for the successful completion of this project.本数据集全面呈现了截至2025年10月的去中心化自治组织（Decentralized Autonomous Organizations, DAOs）跨平台全貌，涵盖Aragon、DAOHaus、DAOstack、Realms、Snapshot及Tally六大平台上的DAO部署、提案与投票活动。本数据集旨在支撑区块链治理、去中心化金融及社区驱动决策领域的研究。 本数据集包含三个CSV文件： deployments.csv——收录各DAO部署的元数据，包含唯一标识符（deployment_id）、所属平台名称（platform）、DAO名称（name）、提案总数（proposals_count）、独立选民数（unique_voters）、总投票数（votes_count）及预估投票权重（estimated_vp）。 proposals.csv——收录提交至各DAO的提案详细信息，包含唯一提案ID（proposal_id）、关联DAO部署（deployment_id）、创建日期（date）、获票总数（votes_count）、总使用投票权重（total_vp）及所属平台（platform）。 votes.csv——收录单条投票记录，包含唯一投票ID（vote_id）、关联提案（proposal_id）、对应DAO部署（deployment_id）、选民地址（voter）、投票时间戳（date）、所用投票权重（weight）及所属平台（platform）。 本批次数据采集工作已于2025年10月完成。完整的数据获取与处理流程通常耗时约2至3周，涵盖从各平台公开API及子图中检索、验证并整合治理数据的全环节。 本数据集适用于DAO治理动态、投票行为及跨平台分析相关的实证研究。研究人员可借助本数据集分析去中心化社区中的提案创建趋势、选民参与度及治理结果。 数据采集与格式化代码存于关联的GitHub仓库中。仓库内的MSR投稿文件夹包含使用指南、环境依赖要求、数据加载方法及部分示例分析内容。 致谢 本项目的顺利完成离不开DAO Analyzer数据集、GraphiQL、Tally API参考文档以及面向去中心化应用与公链的AI驱动RPC基础设施（dRPC）提供的工具与支持，上述资源对本项目而言不可或缺。
