"The Web3 ecosystem is incredibly diverse on many dimensions, on the types of problems being solved, locations of the teams, economic models they’re employing, and more.

I opted for "continuous voting" rather than "conviction" because I think that term sets the idea apart a bit more from other methods. I would think of conviction voting, perhaps, as a variant of the broader continuous type. Does that seem right? @mZargham @abbey_titcomb
"The main principles of dynamic governance are known as consent, circles, and double-linking. In contrast to consensus, where everyone must agree on a decision, consent is reached when there are no remaining paramount objections. When a policy change is proposed, any objections are discussed, and if needed the proposal is
