GovernCrypto — Voice-Powered DAO Governance Assistant GovernCrypto is a Chrome extension that transforms how users interact with DAO governance by making proposals easy to understand, discuss, and vote on — all directly from the browser. Today, DAO governance suffers from a major usability problem: proposals are long, technical, and time-consuming to read, which leads to low participation and uninformed voting. Most token holders either skip voting entirely or rely on others, weakening decentralization. GovernCrypto solves this by combining AI + voice to create a human-like governance experience. When a user opens any proposal, the extension: * Instantly generates a clear, structured AI summary using Mistral, breaking down complex governance text into simple, actionable insights * Provides a real-time conversational AI assistant, allowing users to ask questions naturally (by voice or text) and get contextual explanations like a professor explaining a topic * Uses ElevenLabs (hackathon sponsor) for both speech-to-text and ultra-fast text-to-speech, enabling a seamless voice interaction loop with minimal latency * Allows users to vote directly from the extension, signing via their wallet and submitting to Snapshot without leaving the page This creates a full flow: 👉 Understand → Ask → Decide → Vote — in seconds ⸻ How ElevenLabs is used ElevenLabs powers the core interaction layer: * 🎙️ Speech-to-text: converts user voice into queries * 🔊 Text-to-speech (streaming): delivers AI responses in a natural, human-like voice * ⚡ Low-latency voice loop: makes conversations feel real-time and intuitive Instead of reading governance, users can now talk to it. ⸻ Why this matters (Market Demand) DAO governance is rapidly growing, but usability has not kept up: * Thousands of DAOs exist, but voter participation is extremely low * Most proposals are too complex for average users * New users feel intimidated and disengage There is a clear need for: * Simpler understanding * Faster decision-making * More accessible interfaces GovernCrypto addresses all three by turning governance into a conversation, not a chore. ⸻ What makes it unique * Voice-first governance experience (not just UI-based) * Context-aware AI that only answers about the selected proposal * Real-time interaction powered by ElevenLabs * Fully integrated voting — no need to switch platforms * Works across multiple DAOs in one unified interface ⸻ Vision GovernCrypto aims to become the default interface layer for DAO governance, where: * Anyone can understand proposals instantly * Voting becomes accessible to non-technical users * Participation increases across the ecosystem In short, we are making DAO governance as easy as talking to a human.
