DAO governance often faces participation fatigue, voter apathy, and dominance by large holders. Efficiency can be measured by proposal throughput, average decision time, and implementation follow-through. Excessively granular voting slows progress; overly concentrated power reduces legitimacy. Review quorum settings, delegation mechanisms, and off-chain signaling tools like Snapshot. Check governance history: delays in passing budgets, repeated failed votes, or low turnout indicate structural inefficiency. Balanced frameworks use tiered decision rights, sub-DAOs, and incentives for consistent participation. Efficient DAOs resolve conflicts without paralyzing progress.
