# Conviction Voting (Signaling)

**Purpose:** Rank community preferences among several options (e.g. a continuous TCR, as used at [cv.commonsstack.org](http://cv.commonsstack.org)) and generate signals reflecting [dynamic average consensus](https://michaelzargham.medium.com/a-brief-history-of-conviction-voting-ad4ca4eb4aee), an idea referencing from Control Systems Engineering applied in Token Engineering (see more references below in the Resources section). This tool is available, but ***not currently being used by the TEC***, but is ripe for further experimentation so worth mentioning here. Conviction Voting (Funding) is currently being used in the Fund Allocation layer, see more below.

**Voting Type:** Dynamic - One Token, One Vote that grows in weight \[conviction] over time staked

**Future Modifications:** Quadratic and delegation

**Signalling Interval:** Continuous<br>
