Apologies for the messy code, I was on a deadline! :) Improvements coming soon
Assemblies
Assemblies are decentralized, self-governing communities on Ethereum. One of the key values of this project is flexibility: community "founders" are free to dictate initial governance structure, with anything from a "************" (complete control by one person) to one-person-one-vote democracy to completely random decision-making being possible. Some additional possibilities include:
- Voting power allocated based on ETH balance or ownership of some token
- Proposal adjudication based on a randomly selected subset of users ("jury system")
- Quadratic voting with auto-generating "vote credits"
- Liquid democracy: users can delegate voting power to other users
Smart contracts
All contracts can be found here.
The Social contract defines a set of standard social features and accepts a governance contract as a constructor argument.
The GovContract is an abstract contract that all governance contracts implement. Governance contracts handle both governance proposals and user permissions.
See these contracts for example implementations:
************.sol: only the contract publisher and those he pre-approves may postGerontocracy.sol: any non-banned user may post; voting power for ban proposals is allocated based on account age.Plutocracy.sol: voting power can be bought with ETHLiquid.sol: liquid democracy; voting power can be delegated to a different user

All of these demos use the Kovan testnet.
Apologies for the somewhat unintuitive UI. Demo video coming soon.
Future work
- Deploy on a sidechain for scalability
- Create a social "factory contract" and intuitive UI for people to launch their own communities
- Discoverability
- UX improvements
