We wrapped up guest nominations for Season 3 on Wednesday of this week and kicked off our voting process, which has been keeping us on the edge of our seats so far. The gamification aspect built in with the help of JokeDAO has made this governance round the most fun I’ve had as a voter. Who knew governance could be so fun?

Weekly recap
We ended our nominations period with 44 incredible guests who are vying for one of 14 spots available on Season 3 of the podcast.

You can see a full list of our nominees on our voting contest page here.
Season 3 guest voting
This season, we decided to use JokeDAO instead of Snapshot for our voting process. In many ways, JokeDAO seems like it was made for Rehash.
One thing we liked about JokeDAO was that it enabled us to mint and airdrop a new, non-transferable ERC-20 token to our voters specifically for the purpose of voting in this contest. We were also able to airdrop as many tokens as we wanted to each voter and set our own rules for how our voters would be able to spend their votes.
In our case, we spun up a new token called $PODVOT3 and airdropped 14 tokens to each voter (corresponding to the 14 guests we’ll be inviting onto Season 3 of the podcast) to be used in any combination they prefer.

Another feature we really liked with JokeDAO is its randomization feature. Each time you login to the contest or refresh the page, the order in which nominees appear on your screen will be randomly scrambled, so no single nominee consistently shows up at the top or bottom of the page. This helps reduce UI bias that occurs all the time in voting.
Who’s eligible to vote?
All holders of Podcaster NFTs, Queen of the Pod NFTs, Podcast Guest NFTs, or blue Collector NFTs are eligible to vote. At this time, voting tokens have been airdropped to all eligible voters, and new NFT holders will not be able to participate in voting until next season.

An announcement about our Season 3 guests next week!
We’ll also be running a contest to vote on our Season 3 podcast sponsors, as well as announcing some future plans for the DAO.
Hashing it out
Here are some things we’re currently hashing out with our DAO contributors:
- Structuring the DAO by seasons to help us better stay focused on one main goal at a time
- Launching a web3 content/media agency to help web3 companies and projects with their content and marketing needs
If you have any ideas to share or want to keep up with the conversation, join us on Discord!
