Multi-chain governance: How can DAOs live across chains
summary
Compares two concrete multi-chain models: bridge-driven Aave polygon bridge executor and Maker L1→L2 relays (Aave already executed a mainnet proposal that ran on Polygon; Maker tested on Arbitrum and Optimism but hasn’t launched), and a modular Zodiac/AMB approach that bundles its own bridge. Contrasts that with a non-transferable reputation model cloned to xDai and Arbitrum (about 500 reputation holders, $80M treasury, ~$200k/month payouts); notes lack of trustless cross-base fund transfers, reputation drift, and upcoming token voting in Governance 2.0.
