Intelligent Decentralized Governance: A Case Study of KlimaDAO Decision-Making
Junhao Chen, Chia‐Wei Hsu, Yun‐Cheng Tsai · Electronics · 2025
This study proposes an AI-assisted governance framework to enhance decision-making within decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs). By integrating chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning with stakeholder-adaptive recommendations, the framework improves decision alignment, increases voter participation, and enhances governance transparency. Through simulations based on historical KlimaDAO data, the system achieved a 97% alignment with past decisions, a projected 40% increase in participation, and a 35% improvement in governance clarity. To support quantitative analysis in tokenomics, we developed a tailored CoT reasoning strategy, effectively reducing information asymmetry and generating structured, trustworthy recommendations. These results underscore the potential of AI to foster more inclusive and transparent DAO governance. Future work will explore deploying lightweight AI models and extending this approach to a broader range of DAO ecosystems.
