TechFlow news — After being followed by Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin on Twitter, the emerging liquidity mining project Pickle Finance saw its governance token, Pickle, surge 1330%, currently at $80. The aspect of Pickle Finance that caught Vitalik's attention is its governance model, which employs quadratic voting to prevent whale accounts from exerting excessive influence. For example, the following two scenarios carry equal voting power: 1. One whale casting 100 votes; 2. Ten regular users each casting 1 vote. (Note: Quadratic voting has long been advocated by Vitalik.)
In response, Vitalik asked: How do you ensure individual identities to prevent people from splitting their funds across multiple accounts? The team replied that, at least for now, they cannot achieve this perfectly. They don't want perfection to be the enemy of the system, but they are excited about promoting the idea of quadratic voting.
