How do DAOs know the exact start/end time of on-chain proposals when it goes by block number vs timestamp? Is it just an estimate like (# of blocks * 12s block time) or am I missing something?

I like baking /goodbread and building apps on web3 protocols. DevRel @ ENS Labs. gregskril.com

Looks like an estimate based on 12s block time is the answer. Thanks @dot for the source https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/lilnounsDAO/lilnouns-monorepo/-/blob/packages/nouns-webapp/src/components/Proposals/index.tsx?L42-48

Yeah, time is one of those "coast of England" type things that just get weirder the more accurately you try to measure it. This goes extra in consensus land where participants can always lie about the time if it gives them some edge. Fuzzy estimates are the best we have.
