Advanced Delegation Rollout Plan

Posted on: Feb. 8, 2024, 3:36 p.m.
Content: Hey OP delegates :wave: Kent from Agora here and I wanted to share some updates on the rollout of the advanced delegation feature on vote.optimism.io 1 . Wanted to make a thread, place for feedback, and quick primer to the advance delegation rollout plan! Why did we build advanced delegation? The idea of a more powerful delegation functionality was brought up by many folks in the Discord and forms asking for “split votes” or “re-delegation” over the last few seasons. As a result, this request came up as a RPF during Season 4 Intent to improve governance accessibility 1 . As governance builders, we believe this idea will help both: Increase in votable supply, and Increase the number and diversity of delegates in the ecosystem. Ultimately, advanced delegation allows an OP token holder to delegate their vote to more than one address with the click of a few buttons. Instead of forcing people to pick A or B to delegate to, we have a more fluid form of delegation here. Functionally, the advanced delegation enables: Partial delegation - delegate to multiple addresses And redelegation - allow delegates you delegate to, to delegate again or, in turn delegate to multiple addresses. This will help solve many of the issues brought forth in the forms and community, enabling folks to not only delegate to multiple parties at once, but also allow delegates to “retire” or “pass on the baton” gracefully without reducing the active votable supply or causing that chunk of tokens to be frozen as their tenure ends. How does advanced delegation work? All of our code is open-sourced and you can see all the details on: github.com/voteagora/optimism-gov 2 . It’s also been audited by OpenZeppelin. But here’s the quick summary: First, you delegate to your own proxy via a contract called Alligator From there, you are able to set allowances for others to receive voting power and ultimately vote with that power This means that your voting power now comes from two places, the standard OP token contract and the advanced delegation voting power via Alligator. The Governor has been upgraded to accept and count each of these when you vote, and https://vote.optimism.io has been upgraded to handle all of this on the front-end to create a simple and smooth voting experience for everyone. Once delegated, it will look something like this on your delegate profile page! image 2000 × 335 57 . 6 KB When can I get access to advanced delegation? We launched partial delegation back on December 18 th, 2023 to a limited beta group. On January 18 th, we had our first voting cycle with advanced delegation and advanced voting. On Feb 8 th (today), we plan to expand that group to anyone with over 100 , 000 OP, with the goal to progressively decentralize and battle test this new functionality over the next several voting periods. Given how big of a change this is both culturally and technically, we want to make sure that we iron out all of the kinks before releasing to everyone. In fact, during our first round we identified a few edge cases are currently auditing a few changes to Alligator to make it even easier to vote in subsequent rounds.

Delegate Discovery Initiatives

Posted on: July 11, 2023, 5:55 p.m.
Content: Wanted to give a quick update! We just launched a new sorting feature: “Weighted Random” One of the items to tackle was more sorting options, so we decided to start with a random sort to start (also inspired by RetroPGF) Weighted Random: Instead of pure random, it’s a random sort where your probability of appearing is proportionally higher based on your voting power. Argument for this is that this ordering is provably fair, because if token holders always delegate to the first person on the delegate list this ordering mechanism results in the replication of the existing distribution. (Credits to @Jonas and Vitalik for the sort logic, thank you! :pray:) Screenshot 2023 - 07 - 11 at 10 . 22 . 38 AM 1920 × 1331 199 KB This is just the start, but figured we start tackling some items from the feedback list. We got lots more to do of course, we’re also seeing and getting feedback and paying attention to the “Season 4 feedback” thread. Excited to keep improving on this – lots more to build :heart: :mechanical_arm: And please, if you have any feedback for this or ideas, don’t hestiate to drop them here, in the doc, or DM me anytime!
