How to be a delegate
Participating in Token House governance can require a serious time commitment. For this reason, people are able to delegate their OP to community members who have explicitly volunteered to play an active role in Token House governance.
Being a delegate is an important job that comes with a lot of responsibility. Therefore, before deciding to become a delegate, you should be familiar with:
- The Working Constitution (opens new window).
- The Operating Manual (opens new window).
- The Code of Conduct (opens new window)
