Random controv thought 🌶️ --> could onchain voting rise to mainstream conversation by the end of 2024 based on:

1) A U.S. election that could bring 'vote counting' to the fore again
2) Generative AI making those 'discussions' more charged
3) A bull market bloating DAO treasuries (i.e. PR / marketing)

Thoughts?

I think on-chain identity (including social + messaging) will feel even more urgent than on-chain voting, as a way to know what to believe and what not to, or at least what was written by a real person or trusted source vs what could easily be fake content.

Onchain voting is so underrated, it's hard to fathom.

I think a breakthrough standard that uses EAS (or similar) to secure the authenticity of content could be the big onchain unlock around elections. AFAIK there are no decent mainstream solutions to AI generated fake content (or regular fake content for that matter), but there is much mainstream hand-wringing about it
