Governance Proposal Alert Tool for Watched DAOs

WHAT IT DOES

This tool connects to your EVM wallet and fetches governance proposals from DAO contracts you specify. It reads on-chain proposal data including proposal details, voting status (Pending, Active, Canceled, Defeated, Succeeded, Queued, Expired, Executed), start and end blocks, vote counts (for/against), and quorum requirements. The tool provides a clear overview of all proposals from watched DAOs, highlighting active proposals that require attention and tracking historical proposal data for trend analysis.

HOW TO USE

Connect your Web3 wallet using the Connect button. Enter the DAO governance contract address in the DAO Governance Contract Address field. Enter the DAO name (optional) and the number of recent proposals to fetch. Click "Fetch Proposals" to retrieve and display proposal data. Click "Load Sample" to populate fields with an example DAO address. Results appear in the Results card with a summary of total proposals found, active proposals, and a detailed list of each proposal showing its ID, state, description, block range, and vote counts.

TECHNICAL MECHANISM: GOVERNANCE PROPOSAL DATA EXTRACTION

The tool uses ethers.js to interact with DAO governance contracts through a tiered ABI detection system. It first attempts to read proposalCount() to determine the total number of proposals. It then iterates through proposals from the most recent back, using a configurable limit. For each proposal ID, it attempts proposals(uint256) and falls back to getProposal(uint256) to extract proposer, start block, end block, description, and other metadata. The tool also attempts state(uint256) and getState(uint256) to determine the proposal's current status. Vote counts are fetched using proposalVotes(uint256) when available. All data is aggregated and displayed in a clean, organized format.

WHAT IT CANNOT SEE

This tool cannot notify users without active monitoring or push notification infrastructure—it displays data on-demand but does not send alerts. It cannot predict proposal outcomes or voter behavior—the tool only shows current state and historical votes. It cannot detect off-chain governance discussions or social signals—the tool is limited to on-chain data. It relies on governance contract interfaces and may not support all DAO implementations—some DAOs use custom governance patterns. It cannot track proposals from DAOs that use non-standard governance patterns—the tool works best with standard Governor-style contracts.

PLEASE NOTE

This is a read-only tool—it never signs transactions. All data is fetched on-demand and stored only in memory; nothing is persisted across page reloads. The tool supports EVM chains only—Ethereum, Polygon, BSC, Arbitrum, Optimism, Avalanche, Base, and Fantom. Proposal data availability depends on the DAO's contract implementation—not all DAOs expose the same interface. The tool does not send push notifications—it is designed for manual monitoring and review.
