JokeRace Eligibility

Tying hat eligibility to the results of a JokeRace Contest

Overview

JokeRace enables communities to make, execute, and reward decisions onchain. Hats can read the results from a JokeRace contest and ensure that only the submitters of the top-voted proposals can wear a given hat and hold the powers associated with that hat. This removes the need for a trusted group of executors to accurately implement the results of a contest or election.

Built into a Hats-powered election is a term limit function. Once the specified term ends, the hat and its associated powers are automatically revoked and a new election can be triggered.

The module's code is open source and is available here.

See below for instructions on how to implement this eligibility module.

Example

Using this module enables the wearers of the "Elected Role" hat to be the winners of a chosen JokeRace election:

Any JokeRace election can be used for any hat, even elections that were held in the past or ones scheduled in the future. Following is the election for the "Elected Role" hat:

The top 5 most voted candidates in the election are the ones eligible for the role, for a term period of 1 year, as defined in the module.
