Matchmaker Voting

Website on: https://preprod.dao.muesliswap.com/matchmakers

The Matchmaker Voting system is the foundation of our DAO-based governance for managing matchmaker licenses on MuesliSwap. It gives DAO members the power to decide who can operate as a matchmaker by voting on license issuance and renewal.

Each license is valid only for a fixed time period (in our case around 7 days). When this period ends, the matchmaker must request a new license. If the matchmaker does not receive enough votes from DAO members, the license simply expires and cannot be renewed. This creates a natural, transparent way to phase out underperforming or inactive matchmakers — without needing a separate revocation process.

Through this time-based voting mechanism, the DAO ensures that only trusted and actively supported matchmakers can continue to operate, keeping the system decentralized, accountable, and community-controlled.

How the Matchmaker Voting Works

Before you can participate in matchmaker voting, you first need to stake your governance tokens in the DAO staking section. Once staked, you can use your staked tokens to support one or more matchmakers.

Support is infinite, meaning that your staked tokens continue to count as votes for a matchmaker until you manually withdraw them. Before you can unstake your governance tokens, you must first remove your support from all matchmakers you are currently voting for. This ensures that every active vote is fully backed by locked governance tokens.

1. Active Licenses

Here you can see all matchmakers who currently hold a valid license. Each entry shows the matchmaker’s name, address, renewal interval, and the total amount of voting support received.

If a matchmaker has reached the quorum, their license is shown as Active, along with the total number of tokens supporting them. You can use the buttons below to:

• Add Support – increase your voting weight for the matchmaker.

• Withdraw Support – remove your existing support.

• View Details – open the detailed matchmaker page.

2. Pending Licenses

This section lists matchmakers who have applied for a license but have not yet reached the quorum. They are still collecting votes from DAO members.

As a DAO participant, you can review pending matchmakers and decide whether to add your support. If a matchmaker reaches the required number of votes before the interval ends, they will automatically receive an active license for the next term.

3. Matchmaker Details

The detail page provides a full overview of a specific matchmaker’s current status, including:

• Wallet Address – the main address of the matchmaker.

• Approval Votes – how many votes the matchmaker has received versus the required quorum.

• License Status – whether the license has passed or is still pending.

• Performance Overview – (to be added) shows transaction and profit statistics once the monitoring API is integrated.

You can add or withdraw your support for a matchmaker directly from this page.
