Pickle Finance Receives Praises from Butterin
However, the coins’ propulsion could be credited to the dynamic voting mechanism and use case that earned praises from the Vitalik Butterin, as the system allows its token holders to participate in an unusual governance process where a quadratic system of voting is being adopted to limit whales influence.
Pickle Finance, instead of using the nominal votes counting method, takes the square root of votes for each account. This method gives more power to innovators that can earn more attention from crypto enthusiasts.
When Butterin asked the Pickle Finance development team how they intend to prevent individuals from splitting their funds into many accounts to avoid being square-rooted, the development team admitted that the project is still in its infant stage. The team reiterated that they are being cautious and would not allow the desire for perfection to decrease the chances of obtaining a good result; this, according to them, would slacken whales waiting to attack the system.
Howbeit, the Pickle Finance team pointed out that the project is fully prepared and equipped for expansion and would in the course of future development devise a system for better identification of users.
