DAO governance has become increasingly complex and overwhelming in last 6 month
But who actually focuses on it?
There is a new trend: some started participating full-time in gov to help protocols succeed
We call them “Pro Delegates”
Breaking down the Pro Delegate landscape🔽
The latest trend in DAOs: Delegation
But with chaotic info out there,
how do you find right delegates to entrust with your votes?
I spent last 2 weeks summarizing 100+ active delegates across DAOs

damnnn first onchain corp is born
@primodiumgame
players providing in-game values to in-game needs. this is totally different from 2021's crypto games, a real game economy popping onchain
after building dapps for almost 4 years, my perspective on how to build a crypto app people actually want has completely changed.
tldr
- f*ck crypto-nativeness
- f*ck degen
- build uncool web2.5 products

@makerDAO
released "Maker Operational Manual" which is a set of doc that summarizes everything about MKR governance to day to day protocol operations
info about gov and ops are fkn scattered and takes ages to catch up at most DAOs
but dis 🤯

StarkNet is attracting so many quality delegates lately
community members who have deep understanding on the protocol (core architecture) n its ecosystem are becoming a delegate
Attracting n engaging gov community is one of the hardest so really cool to see dis
Despite the promise of Autonomous World - anyone can build on top of and extend the world
we haven’t seen many plugins built so far
I wrote about why plugins aint built in AW, and how to change this situation
Love to hear what y'll think about it 👇

No oracle or human inputs in market resolution
This is the future of esports 🧵
sharing sad news: Senate is closing its doors. To all the gov nerds who loved using us, we're truly sorry 🙏
Though we're saying goodbye, all our work is open source so we hope it can be useful for the further development of crypto gov.
DeGov n DAO aint dead so lets keep buidl.
From today, I’m working from

Thanks sm for such a kind offer
@damor_eth

Super excited to be surrounded by onchain game builders and get inspiration from you guys!!
DAO Ice Age was back in 2023
DAOs & DAO tools closed down one after another
For past 3 months I was having doubt about its future
But
@0xPARC
's concept "Autonomous World" sparked hope - New use case of DAO governance to mainstream
Thread intersection of Autonomous World x DAO🔽
some of my frens are spending a whole night playing
@primodiumgame
this is insane. we now have a dapp people interact with for hours and hours straight, not for money but for fun.
huge shout out to the team 🫡
World computer is slowly realizing its true possibilities
proposal at Maker to onboard hats protocol to manage social structures n permissions in a crypto native way

It provides flexibility on setting up D2D token-swap deals, while proposing and executing deals by community members through onchain voting.

4/ That’s why we need people committed to DAO governance full-time with a team of domain experts.
Pro Delegates, AKA Protocol Politicians.

finally so happy to share that we are launching the app in 48 hours! lfggggggggg
im not sure why ppl aint taking about this, but clearly
@zkp2p
is the best example of headless marketplace thats live in production now
its cheaper, faster (usually) and no trusted third party. 10x better than trad marketplaces.

💌 Our daily bulletin email got a few upgrades.
It shows you:
👉 if a proposal in ⚡️off-chain or 💠on-chain
👉
@MakerDAO
past proposal results 💯
👉 if a past proposal has not reached Quorum ❎
Go to and add your email address to check it out!
As a DAO delegate, it would be nice to be able to temporarily delegate votes to another delegate when OOO or during periods not able to be as responsive (in the same way a colleague helps take over some work). Crypto being 24/7 makes it difficult when you always have to be on
submission completed, we did itttt

I'll throw up a pic of us from yday when we realized that our plan was screwed, look at this dead faces LMAO
Im a huge fun of
@GnosisGuild
, cuz of their principle = Not building moat
all the repo is public and if you wanna get alpa you can literally go to their github and get it. its build out open and anyone can repurpose it. what they build really embodies open source public goods.
first ver of
@0xNightMarket
for
@primodiumgame
alliance war went pretty well. ppl liked it and it made the gameplay way more intense
but we found lots to improve as well. one of them is the lack of incentives for early bettors
our first ver was based on parimutuel betting: ppl

Brussels and learned tons from
Her take might be controversial (forget about composability, learn from p2e games, build offchain) but all of them are “The Real Learnings”from actually building and iterations,

@hi_Reverie
A governance team led by
@lsukernik
and
@derek_hsue
from Reverie (Protocol advisor corp)
They participate in governance by leveraging their own experience in supporting DAOs.
e.g. launching a grants program, new asset Listing group, sub DAO and more
9/
@Llama
A governance team led by
@HelloShreyas
and
@Matthew_Graham_
from Llama (service DAO)
They are a team of experienced contributors in the DAO space. So with input from members of various DAOs across DeFi, they participate in governance with high context and engagement
8/
@labsGFX
A governance team led by
@getty_hill
and
@ImperiumPaper
from GFX (DeFi product dev corp)
They are the DeFi maxi team. They have authored half of the successful proposals on Uniswap, the majority of proposals on Hop, and have listed several assets on Compound
2/ But, why do we need Pro Delegates?
Governance apathy is the biggest pain for DAOs.
At the same time, DAO gov is becoming much more complex and overwhelming
- number of proposals keep growing
- the scope of proposal coverage is getting wider
and gov won’t stop 24/7, 365
