Delegate Expectations

Thank you for joining as an active delegate in Optimism Token House Governance.

As a delegate, you should:

• Join the conversation in the below channels in our Discord (opens in a new tab):

  • #gov-general (opens in a new tab): This channel is for general governance discussions.
  • #delegate-discussion (opens in a new tab): If you are a Top 100 delegate, join the conversation with other larger delegates to discuss proposals & the governance process. You can check your ranking here (opens in a new tab)

• Provide feedback on draft proposals in the Proposals Discussion (opens in a new tab) section of the Forum

  • If you are a Top 100 delegate then you can also approve non-grant proposals. You can check your ranking here (opens in a new tab). Non-grant proposals need at least 4 approvals to move to a vote. To approve a proposal post this phrase in a forum comment on Discourse:

    I am an Optimism delegate with sufficient voting power and I believe this proposal is ready to move to a vote.

• Vote on non-grant proposals via the Optimism Governance Portal (opens in a new tab).

• Post your voting rationale in a Delegate Communications Thread (opens in a new tab)

• Join the community calls, which occur every other Tuesday at 1pm ET. The governance calendar (opens in a new tab) shows which Tuesdays, and how to join the call. You can also check which Season and Cycle we're in on the calendar.

• Stay up to date with voting cycles and general governance updates in the Governance section of the Forum (opens in a new tab).
