🔧 CuteHive Proposal Voters Logic Upgrade: Fixing Voting Discrepancy

While using CuteHive to browse proposal data, I recently noticed a significant issue — a major discrepancy between the total voting weight of a specific proposal and the calculated result from its voters list.

This prompted a deeper investigation, which ultimately led to identifying a critical logic flaw.

🧩 The Issue: Inconsistent Voting Weight

CuteHive provides a very useful feature:

👉 View voters of a proposal, sorted by voting weight, along with a calculated total.

In theory:

The total voting weight shown in the proposal list ≈ the sum calculated from the voters list

However, in practice:

• The difference was massive ❗
• This seriously affected the accuracy of evaluating proposal support

🔍 Root Cause: Ignoring the Proxy Mechanism

After further analysis, the issue turned out to be related to a core feature of the Hive blockchain — proxy voting.

In Hive:

• If a user sets a proxy
• Their governance voting power is delegated to that proxy account
• Their own direct votes no longer count

⚠️ However, in previous versions of CuteHive:

• ❌ Proxy status was not checked
• ❌ Voting weight from proxied users was still included
• 👉 This led to significantly inflated and inaccurate totals

🛠️ The Fix: Rebuilding Proposal Voters Logic

I have updated the calculation logic to align with Hive’s on-chain governance rules.

✅ Key Changes

1. Logic Update (ProposalList.tsx)

• Added a check for the proxy field
• Applied the rule:

  If a voter has a proxy set, their voting weight (HP) is counted as 0

2. Type Definition Update (types.ts & ProposalVotersModal.tsx)

• Added an optional proxy field to the VoterData interface:

  proxy?: string;

3. UI Feedback Enhancement (ProposalVotersModal.tsx)

For invalid votes caused by proxy settings:

• An orange warning is displayed under the username:

  Proxied to Hive account@username (Vote Ignored)

• These accounts are automatically sorted to the bottom (HP = 0)

🎯 Result

The updated Proposal Voters list now:

✅ Accurately reflects real, effective voting weight
✅ Clearly distinguishes between:

• ✔️ Direct support (valid votes)
• ⚠️ Ignored votes (proxied users)

✅ Improves transparency and trust in proposal analysis
