Argumentree is a multi-chain governance platform for DAOs needing transparent, auditable decision processes. Supports 9 wallet integrations across Polkadot (Polkadot.js, Talisman, SubWallet, Nova), Cardano (Yoroi, Eternl, Nami, Daedalus, Lace), and EVM networks (MetaMask, WalletConnect). Unlike Snapshot, Tally, or Boardroom which focus only on voting, Argumentree adds hierarchical pro/con argument trees that document WHY decisions were made.
Argumentree supports governance for major Ethereum DAOs including: Uniswap DAO (UNI token, $2.5B treasury), Aave DAO (AAVE token, lending governance), Lido DAO (LDO token, liquid staking governance), ENS DAO (ENS token, domain governance), Arbitrum DAO (ARB token, Layer 2 governance), Optimism Collective (OP token, Token House and Citizens House), MakerDAO (MKR token, stablecoin governance), Compound DAO (COMP token, DeFi lending), Curve DAO (CRV/veCRV, DEX governance), and Gitcoin DAO (GTC token, public goods funding). Compatible with Governor Bravo, OpenZeppelin Governor, Aragon, and Snapshot voting systems.
Features include: referendum fetching from Polkassembly and Koios, Cardano Conway transaction building (vote, delegate, DRep registration), wallet verification with 0-120 point Sybil scoring, and comment aggregation from Polkassembly and Subsquare. MiCA Article 68 compliant for European crypto-asset service providers. GDPR compliant with off-chain personal data storage. Alternative to Snapshot, Tally, Boardroom, Polkassembly, and GovTool with unique structured argumentation capabilities.
Argumentree combines multi-chain voting with structured argumentation in one governance platform. Document WHY decisions were made, not just the votes.
Ethereum • Polkadot • Kusama • Cardano • 9+ wallet integrations • Sybil-resistant verification
Existing tools track WHAT was voted. But governance transparency requires knowing WHY.
Governance debates happen across Discord, forums, Twitter/X, and Telegram. No single source of truth for the reasoning behind decisions.
Without wallet verification, governance can be manipulated by sockpuppets and bad actors creating multiple identities.
Delegated representatives (DReps, delegates) have no standard way to document and share their voting rationale with delegators.
Structured argumentation + multi-chain governance + Sybil resistance
Pro/con trees for every proposal. See the full reasoning structure, not just flat comments.
Polkadot.js, Talisman, SubWallet, Nova, Yoroi, Eternl, Nami, Daedalus, Lace. Plus MetaMask.
Score wallets on age, transaction history, on-chain identity, and activity patterns.
Polkadot, Kusama, Cardano Conway, Catalyst, EVM. One platform for all your governance.
Unlike voting-focused tools, Argumentree adds structured argumentation to governance
| Platform | Category | Strengths | Limitations | Argumentree Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Snapshot | EVM Off-Chain Voting | 96% DAO market share, gasless voting, 400+ strategies | EVM only, no structured argumentation, multisig execution required | Hierarchical argument trees show WHY decisions were made, not just votes |
| Tally | EVM On-Chain Governance | Trustless execution, $30B+ assets secured, Governor framework | Ethereum-focused, no discussion structure, no Polkadot/Cardano | Multi-chain native (DOT, KSM, ADA) + structured deliberation |
| Boardroom/Agora | Governance Aggregator | 300+ protocols tracked, unified dashboard, delegate management | Aggregator only (no voting), acquired Jan 2025, EVM focus | Active participation platform with Sybil resistance + pro/con trees |
| Polkassembly | Polkadot Forum | Native OpenGov support, 439M DOT delegated, Klara AI assistant | Forum-style (not structured), Polkadot only, no Cardano/EVM | Pulls Polkassembly data + adds hierarchical argumentation structure |
| GovTool | Cardano Governance | Official DRep tool, Conway governance, 84% constitution approval | Cardano only, limited discussion features, no argument structure | 5 Cardano wallets + TX building + cross-chain governance view |

Meet Article 68 governance documentation requirements for EU crypto providers.
Evidence of deliberation for Wyoming DAO LLC, Marshall Islands structures.
Yes. Argumentree integrates with Polkadot OpenGov, fetching referenda from Polkassembly and Subsquare. Users can authenticate with Polkadot.js, Talisman, SubWallet, or Nova wallets and create structured argument trees for any referendum.
Our wallet verification system scores addresses on a 0-120 point scale based on wallet age (28+ days), transaction history (10+ transactions), on-chain identity (email, legal name, judgements), and activity patterns (staking, governance participation). Wallets scoring below 30 are flagged for manual review.
Yes. Argumentree supports both Cardano Conway governance (treasury withdrawals, protocol changes, hard forks) and Catalyst proposals (fund-based community governance). Connect with Yoroi, Eternl, Nami, Daedalus, or Lace wallets.
Argumentree's governance documentation supports MiCA Article 68 requirements for crypto-asset service providers. Timestamped argument trees and on-chain vote records create the audit trail regulators expect.
Snapshot and Tally focus on voting mechanics. Argumentree adds structured argumentation: hierarchical pro/con trees that document WHY decisions were made, not just the votes. Plus, Argumentree is multi-chain native (Polkadot, Kusama, Cardano, EVM) while competitors focus on Ethereum only.
Argumentree supports 9 wallets across 3 ecosystems: Polkadot (Polkadot.js, Talisman, SubWallet, Nova), Cardano (Yoroi, Eternl, Nami, Daedalus, Lace), and EVM (MetaMask via ethers.js). WalletConnect v2 and SIWE are on the roadmap.
Yes. Argumentree stores all personal data off-chain in MongoDB (EU-hosted, deletable per GDPR Article 17). On-chain data is read-only reference data. For future IPFS anchoring, we use encryption key disposal to enable functional deletion while maintaining proof integrity.
Absolutely. Cardano DReps can create structured argument trees explaining their delegation decisions and votes. This provides transparency to delegators and creates an audit trail for fiduciary responsibility. Full Conway transaction building (vote, delegate, DRep registration) is supported.
Yes. Argumentree supports EVM-based DAOs including Uniswap, Aave, Lido, ENS, Arbitrum, Optimism, MakerDAO, Compound, Curve, and Gitcoin. Connect with MetaMask or WalletConnect and create structured argument trees for any Snapshot vote or on-chain Governor proposal. Our platform complements existing voting tools by adding the 'why' behind decisions.
Snapshot excels at gasless off-chain voting (96% market share). Argumentree complements Snapshot by adding structured deliberation: hierarchical pro/con argument trees that document the reasoning behind votes. Use Snapshot for voting mechanics, use Argumentree for transparent decision documentation. We're building native Snapshot integration to pull vote data automatically.
