To be honest, I think that the previous way that Tally ran was not very good.
As a fundamental component of the Web3 governance system, its underlying architecture is OpenZeppelin’s open-source Governor contract, so there should be a totally open-source solution for the community to use and maintain the UI/UX interface of the governance process. We (Degov) were once Tally’s users, and we have many new ideas and want to contribute to their platform, but we have no way to do that because of the closed-source nature of their UI/UX. So, we made the decision to build our own governance platform, called Degov, which now supports more than 30 DAOs and is still growing and open-source since day one. It is also designed to be hosted by anyone, so that the community can easily deploy and maintain their own governance platform without relying on a third-party service.
I think that’s the final picture of a healthy Web3 governance ecosystem: whether you are a big or small project, you can easily deploy and maintain a reliable and user-friendly governance platform for your community instead of paying for a third-party service or relying on a closed-source solution. As for Gitcoin governance, we already support it; you can check it out here: https://gitcoin.degov.ai/. I wrote another post in this forum https://gov.gitcoin.co/t/consider-migrating-gitcoin-dao-governance-to-degov/25202, but have received no feedback yet.
