Governance infrastructure for distributed organizations

Likwid is a modular governance engine designed for communities that need structured decision-making, transparent moderation, and flexible delegation systems.

Not a social network. Not a simple polling tool. A complete governance layer for complex, distributed organizations.

Built for organizations that take governance seriously

Open Source Projects

Maintainers, contributors, and communities making technical and organizational decisions together.

Associations & NGOs

Member-driven organizations requiring transparent voting, delegation, and accountability.

Political Movements

Parties, civic lists, and grassroots movements needing structured collective decision-making.

Federated Networks

Distributed organizations coordinating across chapters, regions, or working groups.

Core Capabilities

Advanced Voting Methods

Schulze, STAR, Quadratic, Ranked Choice, and Approval voting. Each method is a plugin that can be enabled per community.

Liquid Delegation

Global and community-scoped delegation that is always revocable. Delegate your voice to trusted members while retaining control.

Structured Deliberation

Inform → Discuss → Decide workflow. Ensures members understand proposals before voting begins.

Transparent Moderation

Every moderation action is logged with reasons. Cryptographic audit trail ensures accountability.

Privacy-Preserving Voting

Separate civic and voting identities. Participate publicly while voting privately.

Federation Ready

Connect communities across instances. Share decisions while maintaining autonomy.

Modular governance, explained

Likwid is built from composable modules. Communities enable what they need: voting methods, delegation rules, moderation tools, and integrations.

Liquid delegation

Delegate by trust network. Vote directly anytime to override your delegation.
