Decent Labs, the development team behind the end-to-end onchain operations platform Decent, has acquired the governance automation platform Nance. This strategic acquisition will enable Decent Labs to integrate both onchain and offchain technologies to make decentralization a more user friendly process, creating a comprehensive end-to-end DAO operations platform for onchain organizations and their communities.
Key Details
The Decent platform is known for its clean UI/UX design and seamless onchain functionality that empowers teams to execute while remaining decentralized and compliant. Nance, with its established offchain governance and community tools, brings a robust backend complete with features that will enhance Decent's existing offerings and facilitate deeper community engagement and collaboration.
The End-to-End Operations Platform
When integration of Nance and Decent are complete, in addition to existing deployment, tokenization, governance, and payments features, it will offer:
- Compliance On and offchain parity in common digital asset jurisdictions such as Cayman, BVI, Switzerland, and the US.
- Collaborative Proposal Editing – The ability for community contributors to create and refine proposals before formal submission with token-gated access and version control.
- Community Discussions – Rich, token-gated interaction between community members to foster collaboration and dialogue without an outside forum.
- Time-based Proposal Cycles – Automated timeframes for proposal submissions, discussions, and decisions that make coordinating governance predictable.
- Advanced Markdown Editing – The ability to craft well-formatted, engaging content within the platform.
- Decent Oracle Artificial-intelligence powered context and verification for DAO health and governance history.
Strategic Vision
With this acquisition, Decent Labs is expanding its platform’s capabilities beyond operations for core teams. The goal is to transform Decent into a collaborative platform that supports entire communities, engaging users earlier in the governance lifecycle, even before the formal governance process begins. This expansion will allow Decent Labs to offer a more comprehensive, community-driven approach to governance, benefitting trade organizations and their broader ecosystems, ultimately serving onchain organizations from deployment to M&A.
Conclusion
By combining the strengths of Decent’s onchain features with Nance’s offchain tools, Decent Labs is positioning itself as a leader in governance technology. This acquisition will play a key role in the evolution of Decent as a unified platform for seamless collaboration, governance, and decision-making across the entire lifecycle.
