SQUID DAO vote closes in a few hours! Vote early, vote often!

A new governance vote for Squid DAO is live on Snapshot under the Leviathan News space, with only a short window remaining for tokenholders to participate. The proposal referenced in the Snapshot link concerns Squid DAO governance and is being surfaced and coordinated via Leviathan News’ Snapshot space, which is used to host and track off‑chain, token‑weighted votes. Squid DAO is a crypto‑native investment DAO whose mission is to grow a sizable on‑chain treasury by deploying various DeFi strategies and mechanisms, including NFT sales, bonding, and treasury yield generation. Voting power in Squid DAO is tied to on‑chain positions: members can acquire influence either by holding SQUID NFTs or by locking SQUID tokens for fixed terms, and there is additional infrastructure such as a dedicated “Squid DAO Vote Calculator” smart contract that aggregates governance voting power from positions across Curve, Convex, and Stake DAO. Snapshot, the platform used for this vote, is a widely adopted off‑chain governance tool that allows DAOs to conduct token‑weighted voting without gas costs, with strategies that read token balances, delegations, and other conditions to determine each address’s voting power. This vote matters because Squid DAO controls a large, actively managed on‑chain treasury and uses governance to decide how that capital is deployed and how power within the DAO is allocated. Participation levels and voting patterns directly affect the DAO’s investment strategies, incentive structures, and broader decentralization properties, which are increasingly scrutinized in DAO governance research. With the current Snapshot proposal closing soon, eligible voters who hold or have locked SQUID‑related positions have a limited opportunity to influence the outcome before the voting period ends.
