I spoke with Paul Glavin, contributor to 1Hive and founder of Gardens v2, a platform for communities to manage assets democratically using conviction voting. 1Hive was one of the first projects in the crypto space to explore alternative governance mechanisms on Gnosis Chain which is the chain where we've build Breadchain Cooperative.

We discussed what conviction voting is, how to better fund public goods in crypto with it and the learnings so far. I also wrote about conviction voting and 1Hive in my book Blockchain Radicals if you want to learn more about innovative voting mechanisms in crypto.

Breadchain also has two ongoing conviction voting proposals in the 1Hive Gardens to increase BREAD adoption. If you have HNY we hope you'll consider delegating to our proposals! You can get HNY on any DEX with Gnosis Chain.
