Question 1

What is OMNOM DAO?

Accepted Answer

OMNOM DAO is an off-chain, advisory governance platform for holders of the $OMNOM token. It uses Sign-In with Ethereum (EIP-4361) for authentication and a frozen snapshot of historical Dogechain holdings (block 59,922,100, captured 2026-06-07) for eligibility verification.

Question 2

How is eligibility determined?

Accepted Answer

Eligibility is determined exclusively by the frozen snapshot at Dogechain block 59,922,100. A wallet must have held $OMNOM at that block to be eligible to vote or propose. The snapshot artifact is published with a SHA-256 hash that is pinned in the production database.

Question 3

What is the Foundational Governance Election?

Accepted Answer

The Foundational Governance Election (FGE) runs from August 29 to September 12, 2026. Every eligible wallet picks one of four voting math options: linear, one-wallet-one-vote, tiered, or quadratic. The option that wins becomes the voting math for all future proposals.

Question 4

How do I sign in?

Accepted Answer

Click Connect Wallet on any page, choose MetaMask, Rabby, Brave, or a WalletConnect-relayed wallet (Trust, Ledger, OKX), and sign the SIWE message. The platform never sees your private key or seed phrase.

Question 5

What are the tier classifications?

Accepted Answer

Eligible wallets are classified into seven tiers by historical $OMNOM balance: Kraken (≥1B), Whale (≥100M), Dolphin (≥10M), Shark (≥1M), Octopus (≥100K), Crab (≥10K), Seahorse (<10K). Tier affects voting weight under the tiered and quadratic math options.
