This leads to better outcomes for the community and ensures that the most valuable and impactful projects or proposals are recognized and supported.\n\n    Inclusive Community Engagement: Pairwise\u2019s approach ensures that even individuals with limited time or expertise can participate in governance. This inclusivity is crucial for building strong and resilient token ecosystems.\n\n    Transparency and Accountability: The open-source nature of Pairwise ensures transparency in the voting process, and the clear presentation of choices holds voters accountable for their decisions. This builds trust within the community and ensures that governance processes are fair and transparent.\n\n    Scalability of Governance: As token ecosystems grow, the number of decisions that need to be made can become unmanageable.

The system converts these simple subjective inputs into objective, measurable outputs, minimizing the cost and cognitive burden of voting.\n\n## How does it work?\n\nPairwise started as a seed of an idea from the [big brain algorithm research out of Colony back in 2018](https://blog.colony.io/introducing-budgetbox/). Pairwise is a decentralized voting dapp that aims to make it easier for Web3 communities to signal their preferences and make informed decisions. Pairwise is implemented as a website with its own front end and an open-source backend. Pairwise voting will be compatible with all EVM chains and development is fully open source.\n\nOne of the biggest problems in DAOs is lack of engagement in governance processes. The goal of the project is to improve the decision-making process by providing a valuable alternative to traditional voting systems and promoting community engagement in the decision-making process. We are confident that this project has the potential to make a significant impact as a public good and we look forward to the opportunity to bring Pairwise voting to life with your support.\n\n![|602x531](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/Cg0LXZ3tqyrrWwLsIyrC7B4zV4_ZkYGLdHgvLrQB0fg1OtVQZMrqpoyxtK2itqf9apaM8SkUBBgmfiJgi9QIcYKEKiPItjzMYVdBhxw8Y0iexqxbGOGabcjZtgfhVV2bjfUkx1xIiTVtis7mWhw2CHg)\n\n## How does it support Public Goods?\n\nThe mission of Pairwise is to be a public good itself (by being free & open source), and by supporting decision making within public good DAOs and projects. It is non-excludable (anyone can use it for free) and non rivalrous (it can work alongside any other governance tool).\n\n![|602x320](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/DxDwtj3rHx-EsC87ETeVk4IrNgChTBAN5K9FIhDPwYNVVk7u8uel8DeHsx96Xp967Cbex8wsvEF0IUCpFoJyalVvw8VzHTtfJK8YskSfIovrN1JrrX9PFENXq8in7Tmj5AVwXaF-aSAGJqaX8q1gbyY)\n\nHere are a few practical use case studies and specific examples of how Pairwise could benefit public goods in the web3 space:\n\n**Grant Proposals:** Pairwise comparison helps organizations prioritize grant proposals by systematically comparing their potential impact and feasibility, ensuring more effective funding distribution. This is especially useful in cases where there are many projects or initiatives that are requesting funding (retroactive public goods, Gitcoin grants etc.).\n\n**Decentralized Curation and Ranking:** Pairwise can be used to compare, rank and curate projects, content, products, or services, and can serve as a \u201cdecentralized suggestion algorithm\u201d. One use case being explored is with Giveth, where users can vote on projects that they are passionate about, which would then feed into the website ranking. This not only allows the community to vote on what projects are important for them, but it also opens the door for new projects to surface that otherwise would have not received the same exposure.\n\n**User research:** A fun use case is user research, where the community can be polled on what their subjective preferences are. For example, this can be used within any DAO to decide on features as kind of a \u201chot or not\u201d game, where users can vote on specific designs or traits, to determine which ones are most valued by the community.\n\n**Progress**\n\n**Video Demo**\n\nWe have a working demo and are doing our initial user testing with the Giveth Community.\n\n[Check it out!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIn0jQZlLFQ)\n\n![|602x323](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/3vizo57Y0hTMHhmy8lyeEBBDd2N9YJPq3RPRQIIGmhaADt1-yQ2dlA7T3C-N034GPckxjp0TOFog3o3f9H_rk-oKpBt2zBbHI-jnHuJbq6QXttNaJuRxykzaZQhXl57Q8cQipXqMqDgdG7k6wTmFoD4)\n\n**Differentiation (from other projects)**\n\nPairwise is similar to Snapshot, but with a specific type of UX. Snapshot votes are built around the expectation that users will go do research in forums and read long-form discussions. Our approach leans into the fact that most of the community isn\u2019t even going to skim the forum posts and will vote with their gut. The goal is to give a clearer signal of what the community wants through more engagement in fun and simple micro-decisions.\n\nPairwise shouldn\u2019t be used for EVERY decision, but we believe it is an important complement to the current voting applications that exist today.\n\nAt General Magic, we believe in the power of collaboration in the open-source world. That's why we would be thrilled if Snapshot chose to integrate Pairwise into their platform. However, even if Snapshot decides not to, we are still committed to deploying this feature independently and integrating Snapshot's strategies into our system. We believe that this will benefit the entire governance ecosystem as we work together to create more efficient methods based on algorithms.\n\n**Team**\n\nPairwise is a project built by[ General Magic ](https://generalmagic.io/)with a lot of support from rockstar DAO OGs.\n\n* **[@FreshelleT ](https://twitter.com/FreshelleT)**- Alliance lead.
