Delegate Onboarding:

- Read about and join the ZKsync Delegate Announcements Telegram channel
Working Group Roll Call:
- @Tekr0x.eth and @cap discussed how they are curious to start thinking about developing “grant” ideas for ZKsync - reach out to them if you want to get involved.
- Link to State of Web3 Grants Report shared in chat
- Link to blog outlining different ways to think about grants frameworks shared in chat.
- There was a shared sentiment that it would be great if working groups would share threads or updates on ideas/work on the forum for visibility for other Delegates.
Token Programs vs Grants Discussion:
- Try to rethink how you know “grants” from other spaces - the typical standard for grants in this space does not align with the guidelines for Token Program Proposals (TPPs). Think how can “grants” be reimagined to align with this new standard.
- Token Program Proposals should deploy smart contracts - or creating “pipes” to distribute ZK throughout the ecosystem - so you need to define the program in terms of the smart contracts you are deploying.
- As of right now, proposals should deploy already developed smart-contracts + include retroactive funding for work upon approval, not ask for funding to build a speculative solution that hasn’t been tested.
- Delegates should look at the past 2+ years and find the best programs that have had the most impact, ZKsync should adopt the ones that work for the protocol and ecosystem
- Examples of possible TPPs include autonomous ZK token emissions based on onchain data like a liquidity pool NFT or token-curated-registry.
- @drnick, Hats, Hedgey, and MetaLeX have been working on these types of contracts
- The Governance Systems Team is working on a post to provider further context and examples to help clarify TPPs more.
Delegate Compensation:
- We didn’t really get into this one, but someone could start a thread on the forum to start a discuss.
