FAQs

Q: Isn't MetaPoll just the same thing as normal Polls?

A: No. They differ like an excavator differs from a shovel.

Both move dirt. The scale separates them. You use a shovel to plant flowers, but you build highways and highrises with an excavator.

Normal polls ask limited questions. MetaPoll processes hierarchical decision trees, encodes tradeoffs explicitly and produces a clear map for the community, reducing coordination costs by over 500x. Normal polls capture a single result once and then die. MetaPoll maps preference landscapes continuously.

MetaPoll handles mass coordination problems that would melt trad polling. Think real-time preference mapping across millions of participants. Think collective intelligence for AI alignment. Think decision-making that scales beyond human cognitive limits.

We've been building with shovels. MetaPoll is the excavator. Different problems. Different tools. Different futures become possible.

Q: Is MetaPoll easy to learn?

A: Yes. MetaPoll is designed for humans, not data scientists.

If you can use a smartphone, you can use MetaPoll. The interface feels familiar - think of it like rating restaurants or movies, but for community decisions.

The interactive tour takes about 5 minutes and walks you through everything hands-on. No manuals to read, no technical jargon to decode. You'll be contributing meaningful input to your community's decisions before your coffee gets cold.

The complexity happens behind the scenes. What you see is simple, intuitive, and gets out of your way so you can focus on what matters - expressing what you actually want for your community.

Q: Existing voting is time consuming, how much time does MetaPoll need from me?

A: MetaPoll flips the script on voting time commitment.

Traditional voting demands hours of your life repeatedly - researching candidates, understanding ballot measures, standing in lines, then doing it all over again next election cycle.

MetaPoll asks for 5-10 minutes once to set up your preference profile. That's it.

After that first session, your influence runs on autopilot. The system learns your values and applies them to new decisions automatically. You only need to check in for 1-3 minutes annually to confirm your preferences haven't shifted.

Think of it like setting up autopay for bills, but for democracy. One setup, ongoing influence, minimal maintenance.

You will spend more time deciding what to watch on Netflix this weekend than MetaPoll requires in a year. Yet your impact on community decisions becomes continuous and proportional to how much you care about each issue.

Less time voting. More time living in the community you helped shape.

Q: Does MetaPoll work with DAOs? What chains do you support?

A: Yes. MetaPoll was built to work with DAOs through their governance token. MetaPoll works with all ERC-20 and ERC-721 (NFT) token types.

We currently support Ethereum and all major L2s. However, MetaPoll isn't strictly an Ethereum only tool, it's just a launch pad. If your project would like an integration with a different chain, reach out to us and ask.

Q: What's the cost?

A: Free for most communities. Affordable for the rest.

If your community manages less than $500k, MetaPoll costs nothing. Zero. We believe every community deserves better decision-making tools, regardless of budget.

For larger communities, we charge 0.005% of assets under management per month. That's about $50 monthly per $1 million managed - less than most communities spend on coffee for a single meeting.

Consider what poor decisions cost your community. A single misaligned project can waste more resources in a month than MetaPoll costs in years. Bad coordination burns through budgets, fragments communities, and kills momentum on important initiatives.

MetaPoll pays for itself by helping communities make better choices faster, with broader support, and fewer costly do-overs.

Pricing is negotiable because we're more interested in seeing communities thrive than maximizing our revenue. If cost is a barrier to better decision-making for your community, let's talk.

Q: What will MetaPoll give our community?

A: MetaPoll gives your community a complete map of what everyone actually wants.

Today's voting tools are like trying to navigate with a map full of holes. You see scattered landmarks but miss the pathways connecting them. You know some people want Option A and others want Option B, but you can't see the nuanced terrain between positions or discover unexpected routes that will create more harmony.

MetaPoll fills in those holes. Instead of binary choices, you get the full preference landscape - where people stand on interconnected issues, what trade-offs they'll accept, and which compromises create genuine consensus.

Your community gains:

Clarity on complex multi-faceted decisions
Discovery of solutions that satisfy more people than anyone expected
Confidence that decisions reflect actual community sentiment, not just the loudest voices
Efficiency - less time arguing over false choices, more time building what people actually want

You wouldn't plan a road trip with a map full of holes. MetaPoll ensures your community never has to navigate important decisions blind again.
