Discover where Conviction Voting has been implemented and how organizations are using it for continuous, democratic decision-making.
Live Implementations
Organizations and platforms using Conviction Voting in production
1Hive uses Disputable Conviction Voting as the core governance mechanism for their Gardens framework. Community members can create proposals and stake tokens to signal support for funding requests from the shared treasury.
The Commons Stack implements Conviction Voting for commons-based funding decisions, allowing communities to allocate resources to public goods and shared infrastructure in a continuous, democratic way.
Moonbeam implements Conviction Voting through a Solidity precompile contract that interacts with Substrate's Conviction Voting Pallet, enabling token holders to vote on governance referenda with conviction multipliers.
Ceramic Network developed a trust-minimized off-chain implementation of Conviction Voting using IDX and verifiable data structures. This approach avoids high gas costs while maintaining verifiability.
Giveth pioneered the exploration of Conviction Voting for decentralized funding allocation, working with Commons Stack and BlockScience to develop and refine the mechanism.
The TEC uses Conviction Voting as part of their governance toolkit for allocating funds to token engineering projects and public goods in the ecosystem.
Common Use Cases

Public Goods Funding
Support commons-based projects and infrastructure with continuous community input
Grant Programs
Run transparent, participatory grant programs where conviction grows with community support
Resource Allocation
Prioritize work proposals and bounties based on sustained community interest
Protocol Governance
Make parameter changes and protocol upgrades with time-weighted community consensus
Community Prioritization
