Summary
Following the ratification of Push Delegate Program: Epoch 1 by the DAO, we are making a call for delegates to be selected under the program.
Under the Push Delegate Program, 50,000 PUSH will be delegated to five community members. These tokens will be vested using Hedgey Finance, allowing delegates to vote on Snapshot. The vested tokens will unlock at the end of the first year of Push DAO v2 (May 2025) if a delegate maintains 85% participation rate in discussions and voting.
Responsibilities for Selected Delegates
Selected delegates will be expected to carry out the following responsibilities:
1. Participation in votes
Delegates are expected to maintain a minimum of 85% voting participation rate throughout the entire duration of the program. Maintaining the minimum voting participation rate is also a precondition for delegated tokens to be fully unlocked and vested.
Note: A delegate who fails to maintain a minimum voting participation rate of 85% for 2 consecutive months may be removed from the program.
2. Participation in discussions
Delegates are expected to be actively involved in discussions on the Push Forum. Providing quality feedback on proposals (and even coming up with own proposals) is a crucial aspect of being a delegate. Delegates are to maintain a minimum of 85% participation rate in providing feedback (i.e., commenting) on proposals on the forum.
Note:
- Failure to maintain a minimum participation rate of 85% in providing feedback/comments on proposals for 2 consecutive months may lead to removal from the program
- The use of AI-generated content for comments and feedback will be strictly penalised and can also lead to removal from the program.
- Comments and feedback should be of a high quality.
3. Communicating rationale
Delegates will be expected to maintain a “Delegate Thread” on the forum. Using this thread, delegates will post the rationale behind all their voting decisions. Here is an example of a delegate thread in Arbitrum DAO here. Delegates will also be expected to maintain a minimum rate of 85% in communicating rationale.
Selected delegates will be required to create their own delegate thread on the forum, using the following template:
a. Contact
- Delegate Address:
- Snapshot Profile:
- Twitter:
- Discord:
- Forum:
b. Introduction
Provide a statement about yourself, your skills and experiences in web3 and beyond, involvement in the community, etc.
c. Delegate Motivation
Provide a statement of your core values as a delegate. This section should answer the question of “why should people delegate to you?”.
d. Conflict of Interest
Disclose any actual or potential conflicts of interest. If there are no conflicts of interest, then state so. Conflicts of interest may include holding significant positions in other ecosystems, etc.
e. Waiver of Liability
By delegating to us, you acknowledge and agree that participation is on a best-efforts basis and we will not be liable for any form of damages related to participation in this DAO.
[Copy-paste the above].
