How do DAOs know the exact start/end time of on-chain proposals when it goes by block number vs timestamp? Is it just an estimate like (# of blocks * 12s block time) or am I missing something?
Looks like an estimate based on 12s block time is the answer. Thanks @dot for the source https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/lilnounsDAO/lilnouns-monorepo/-/blob/packages/nouns-webapp/src/components/Proposals/index.tsx?L42-48
How do governments decide that your “exactly 18 and eligible to vote” on Election Day? Interesting similarity.
Not sure about the specific case, but a smart contract can decide based on the time a tx is included in a block if a call is valid or not.
At tally we estimate the time based on average block times. The estimate improves as the block approaches
