VitaDAO's one token one vote structure leaves it susceptible to the 51 percent or whale attack, a vulnerability made worse because the VITA token is primarily purchasable.

Because Vita uses a one token one vote, they are susceptible to the 51% problem, or "Whale Attack." This problem is further exacerbated because the Vita token is primarily a purchasable token.
