[DISCUSSION] PUSH Delegate Program - Epoch 1
In Push Delegate Program Epoch 1, we will allocate 50,000 PUSH tokens to incentivise governance participation within Push DAO. Five community members will be selected as delegates, and the tokens will be vested using Hedgey Finance, enabling the delegates to vote on governance proposals via Snapshot.
[PROPOSAL] Upgrading Push DAO Governance
This proposal seeks to change the DAO’s governance in order to improve Sybil resistance and the threat of potential governance attacks. This includes the ability of the DAO Council to veto any votes they deem to be detrimental to the DAO and the implementation of a dynamic quorum mechanism.
Devcon & Push for Social Impact
This proposal is designed to provide an opportunity for outstanding Push India Ambassadors to engage with the Ethereum ecosystem and represent Push Protocol at Devcon 7 and ETH Bangkok, Thailand. As residents of India, they need to apply for a Builder Discount ticket to the conference through the highlighted methods.
Key Dates

Upcoming Votes 
[PROPOSAL] Upgrading Push DAO Governance
This proposal is completely non-technical, and the changes proposed will take place after this proposal has passed. There is also no financial cost to this proposal, and it is purely a change to the current Push DAO governance system.
