Sylvain Leroux Yes indeed. Especially considering that other tokens will join the ecosystem in addition to RealToken (the Y token, for example, and probably others, as far as I understand RealT's long-term goals—we may also imagine other commercial organizations joining the ecosystem).
I must admit that the concept of DAO is relatively new to me. And despite my readings, the relationship between the DAO and RealT is still nebulous. My best understanding is that they form a joint venture, or should be considered two entities implied in a win-win collaboration.
Anyway, for now, I still believe that having somehow invested money in the ecosystem-related "assets" (RealToken, RWA, Y token, etc.) should boost voting power.
I hope I made myself understandable, as obviously, I still have not mastered all the required vocabulary yet. I must state that RealT investment was my entry point into the blockchain and DeFi world. I suspect it could be the same here to discover the world of decentralized autonomous organizations. Thanks for making it accessible to novice users.
The relationship between RealT and the DAO could be explained as people who live in a building, the REG holders, and for the maintenance of the garden, the building, the residents mandate RealT.
Thus each resident according to the surface of their apartment can vote on the proposals related to the maintenance, improvement of the building, if approved then RealT carries out the work (change of boiler, add a swing ....)
In our case the building is replaced by applications on the blockchain, which are usable by tokenized assets.
Giving voting power to RealTokens (or other tokenized assets that would be part of the ecosystem) poses some problems.
Firstly it will remove the interest in having REG to decide the future of applications, to block it in a contract, it totally changes the paradigm.
How to calculate the voting power of a RealToken in the DAO, maybe the value in $, but in this case buying assets that do not gain value compared to those that gain value will give a disadvantage.
So compared to the number of tokens?, here too depending on the value of a token we have an imbalance.
This will add confusion, today the power is separated REG for the DAO therefore the applications, and REALTOKENS for the votes on the assets that are linked to it.
This would give great power to the Balaine who already have a lot of REALTOKENS, you will tell me he could buy all the REG, I would say yes but if you sell, it is therefore your decision.
Complexity to perform the calculations for the voting power, currently there are 500k balance of RealTokens, it would be necessary for each update of the voting power to calculate each balance, and this will continue to increase.
Participation rate, if REALTOKENS gives voting power then there will be a lot of people not interested who would not use it, so a lower participation rate, this can also be the case with REG but it is simpler.
Disadvantage for those who could participate in the DAO (because they like it) but would not want to invest in tokenized assets because for them it is too centralized
In v2, maybe it will be possible to have a boost in voting power for REALTOKENS that would be held by one of the NFTs, but it would remain a Boost, not voting power directly linked to REALTOKENS
