The Optimism Collective utilizes a delegation system to allow members of the community to represent others in Token House governance. Here's a breakdown of the various aspects of being a delegate in the Optimism Collective, based on the information gathered:
- Number of Delegates:
- The exact number of delegates in the Optimism Collective was not publicly available based on the pages accessed.
- Incentive for Being a Delegate:
- Delegates play a crucial role in governance, and there's a significant responsibility associated with representing others who have delegated their voting power1.
- Being a delegate requires a serious time commitment, and the collective appreciates the engagement of delegates. In some seasons, top delegates who meet certain criteria are recognized and eligible to receive rewards2.
- Responsibilities of a Delegate:
- Delegates are expected to represent those who have delegated their voting power to them in an informed manner, especially when voting on proposals1.
- They are also expected to engage actively in the governance of the Optimism Collective for the benefit of its citizenry3.
- Websites with Overviews and Resources:
- The official Optimism Docs provides a guide on how to be a delegate and the responsibilities involved.
- Becoming a Delegate:
- To become a delegate, an individual should first read and understand the delegate responsibilities on the Optimism forum.
- They would then register to be a delegate on the Optimism Governance Portal (Optimism Agora) following a delegate commitment form. Although not required, they might also want to delegate their OP tokens' voting power to themselves, with a note that token grants should not be self-delegated to grant recipients4.
If you are interested in the specifics of the delegate system, you might want to visit the official Optimism Docs or the Optimism Governance Portal for more detailed information and guidelines.
