Description: Layered voting is a consensus mechanism that operates on multiple levels or layers, allowing participants in a system to distribute their voting power more flexibly and efficiently. This approach is based on the idea that not all votes carry the same weight, and the importance of a vote can vary depending on the layer it is in. In this system, decisions are made through a tiered process, where each layer can represent different interest groups, levels of authority, or decision-making criteria. This allows for greater granularity in decision-making and can help mitigate issues such as power centralization and vote manipulation. Layered voting is particularly relevant in environments that require a high degree of participation and where decisions must reflect a diversity of opinions and needs. Furthermore, this mechanism can be implemented in various contexts and platforms, from governance systems in blockchain to voting applications in organizations and communities. Its modular and flexible design makes it a powerful tool for fostering collaboration and consensus in complex environments.
