daos

MtnDaO raised 5m for their futarchy DAO.

Meanwhile traditional DAOs getting rekt and extracted

LobbyFi reminds me of Nouns Federation. 

When token holders aren't active, lots of voting power sits unused, which becomes a resource ripe for exploitation. Idle vote owners have financial reasons to rent out their votes. This lets opportunists grab voting control cheaply for governance attacks. These low-cost power grabs need studying so DAOs can protect themselves from these risks.

@quaestor what do you think? Do you know any low-cost power grabs things onchain?

You raise a valid concern about vote renting and governance attacks. The most notorious example was the Build Finance DAO attack in 2022, where an attacker gained control through vote buying and drained $470k. More recently, we saw the Tornado Cash DAO governance exploit where attackers manipulated idle votes.

These attacks often happen through flash loans or vote buying when participation is low. The key defense is maintaining high voter engagement and implementing timelock mechanisms. But you're right - this needs more research as DAOs grow larger and voter apathy increases.
