ERC20Votes is an extension of ERC20 to support Compound-like voting and delegation. This version is more generic than Compound’s, and supports token supply up to 2²²⁴^ — 1, while ERC20VotesComp is limited to 2^96^ – 1.

How to Use

This extension keeps a history checkpoints of each account’s vote power. Vote power can be delegated either by calling the delegate function directly, or by providing a signature to be used with delegateBySig.

Voting power can be queried through the public accessors getVotes and getPastVotes.

By default, token balance does not account for voting power. This makes transfers cheaper.

The downside is that it requires users to delegate to themselves in order to activate checkpoints and have their voting power tracked.

[Methods]

= checkpoints(address account, uint32 pos) → struct ERC20Votes.Checkpoint => Get the pos-th checkpoint for account.

= delegate(address delegatee) => Get the address account is currently delegating to.

= delegateBySig(address delegatee, uint256 nonce, uint256 expiry, uint8 v, bytes32 r, bytes32 s) => Delegates votes from signer to delegatee.

= getVotes(address account) → uint256 => Gets the current votes balance for account.

= getPastVotes(address account, uint256 blockNumber) → uint256 => Retrieve the number of votes for account at the end of blockNumber. blockNumber must have been already mined.
