Hidden Hand
Governance Incentives · Ethereum, Optimism, Arbitrum +1

Service Nervous Systems
Governance Incentives · ICP
Service Nervous Systems (SNSs) are the Internet Computer's framework for handing a dapp over to token-based community governance. It is infrastructure for DAOs rather than a single app, so the value depends on which project uses it.
