Boardroom

• Name: Boardroom
• URL: https://boardroom.io/
• Category: governance indexing middleware / DAO governance intelligence platform / governance interoperability infrastructure
• Summary: Boardroom is governance indexing and interoperability middleware. The useful part is not the dashboard. It is the adapter and metadata layer that decides which DAOs are covered, how proposal and delegation data get normalized, and what downstream apps can query.
• What it does:
  • Aggregates governance data across many DAOs and chains into a dashboard covering proposals, delegates, voters, resources, and protocol metadata
  • Offers a Governance API for querying DAO, proposal, voter, vote, delegate, and delegation data across 175+ DAOs according to the docs
  • Maintains a protocol-agnostic Governance SDK for normalized integrations with governance systems such as Snapshot, OpenZeppelin Governor, Compound, Aave, Nouns, Moloch, and Uniswap
  • Uses public protocol-information and adapter repositories so projects and contributors can add or update metadata and integration coverage
  • Ships bot and portal surfaces that extend governance monitoring and community coordination into Discord and contributor workflows
• Key claims:
  • The docs position Boardroom as a DAO governance and intelligence platform that helps decision-makers access accurate community information and act faster
  • The Governance API docs say Boardroom exposes the same core governance data that powers the Boardroom dashboard and that developers can query DAOs, proposals, voters, votes, delegates, and delegations
  • The Governance SDK repo describes a portable, protocol-agnostic interoperability framework built around adapters, transports, and protocol-registration functions
  • The supported-DAOs docs and public metadata repo show Boardroom relying on a shared integration layer plus public metadata maintenance rather than a closed dashboard-only model
  • Some docs pages contain broken references or older wording, which is itself a useful signal that the docs/GitHub corpus is the real source of truth and should be read together rather than trusting the sparse marketing surface alone
• Whitepaper: No canonical Boardroom whitepaper or litepaper surfaced in this pass. The clearest current source of truth is the official docs, Governance API docs, Governance SDK repo, and public protocol-information repo collected in ../whitepapers/boardroom-primary-sources-2026-04-27.md.

Internal linkages

• Strongest governance-console comparison: tally
• Best offchain vote-network sibling feeding the same observation layer: snapshot
• Middleware contrast once the question shifts from observation to cross-platform policy routing: metagov

Control surface

• Practical authority sits in adapter coverage, metadata curation, identity and proposal normalization, API access, and the maintenance process that decides which governance systems remain legible to downstream users.

• So treat Boardroom as governance data plumbing with a dashboard attached, not as a canonical governance venue.
