This Delegate Platform will contain information about the delegate, including motivation for involvement in the GnosisDAO, areas of expertise, and disclosure of any potential conflicts of interest.
Step 2 - Post Nomination Application
Applicants will post their application to this program as a reply to the application thread.
Completed applications will contain the applicant information and nomination statement supplied in the template.
Any applicant requiring sponsorship should be specified in their application. To be sponsored, an eligible community member who is not applying themselves should reply to their application with the statement, “I meet the eligible criteria, am not participating in this program and sponsor this applicant.”
Step 3 - Snapshot Voting
Following the three-week nomination period, all eligible applications will be put up for a Snapshot vote using the weighted voting strategy. At the conclusion of the voting, the top 10 delegates will be delegated 5k GNO for a period of six months to be used in GnosisDAO governance.
