Automated Democracy ($AUTODEM) - This Yale University paper argues that decentralized autonomous organizations can power “automated democracy” by using blockchain smart contracts for transparent, enforceable governance and quadratic voting to align outcomes with the intensity of citizen preferences. It frames DAOs as a trust-building liberal “Leviathan” while examining recognition models and legal challenges DAOs must navigate. 1) DAOs coordinate communities through code, enforcing rules via smart contracts and bringing transparency to political decision-making beyond finance. 2) Quadratic voting mitigates the tyranny of the majority by weighting preference intensity, while acknowledging practical drawbacks and design limits. 3) Proposed model: participatory DAOs with upgradeable contracts that use QV for policy votes and elections.
