gov-tools

Requirements:

• Python 3.8+
• Web3.py
• Access to ethereum node

Parameters

• List of voters (.csv file) - e.g. all addresses that voted for a specific option
• Node address - URL for Ethereum node RPC calls
• Ethereum block number - block for which the total Voting Power is calculated

How-to

1. Install Python >= 3.8: https://www.python.org/downloads/

2. Install web3:

   $ pip install web3

3. Get access to ethereum node (e.g. by using https://www.alchemy.com/)

   URL may look like this: https://eth-mainnet.alchemyapi.io/v2/AaaAaAAa1AaaaA-1A-AAAAA_AaAA1aaA

   Alternative providers of node services: https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/nodes-and-clients/nodes-as-a-service/

4. Prepare a list of voters in CSV file format (one address in a row, no header). Save the .csv file in gov-tools directory.

5. Select a block number for which you want to count the total Voting Power.

6. You're all set and ready to launch the script:

   $ python count_voting_power.py <file.csv> <HTTP node address> <ethereum block>

   Example:

   $ python count_voting_power.py voters.csv https://eth-mainnet.alchemyapi.io/v2/AaaAaAAa1AaaaA-1A-AAAAA_AaAA1aaA 13048140
