**2021**

- [3931933-038](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3931933-038) [mechanism/asserted] -- Governance decisions such as network upgrades follow a simple vote that mints no reputation, yet reputation in the SDAO can still be lost through a governance vote because each vote follows the DEVxDAO MVPR logic moving from loosely coupled to tightly coupled voting.
