Below is the thread to gather discussion topics for the upcoming call. To stay on the existing call cadence, the next standing Delegate call will be in Tuesday, December 10th.
Please drop discussion topics for the call in this thread! The goal is to collaboratively curate the agenda by having Delegates propose discussion topics (with reasoning) in this thread. Others can āupvoteā a topic by liking the different posts, which will help prioritize the items for the agenda.
I will update this forum post the day of the call with a proposed agenda based on results from the forum. I will use that agenda as a guide to help facilitate the call.
I would like to propose implimenting a standing āProposal Review Callsā every other Tuesday (alternating with Standing Delegate Calls). Read more & leave feedback here!
Hi Shelby! Excited for the call today. Iād like to add a note to talk about the ZKsync roadmap and how we can potentially ratify the key priorities for 2025.
This is really important. And itās the main reason why I asked the question of the top 5 short, mid, and long-term priorities. It simply brings clarity and helps us orient our thinking for ZKsync.
Thanks to everyone who joined the Standing Delegate Call on Tuesday! Below is a collection of summarized notes and links shared in the call from yesterday.
Tekr provided an overview of the discussion happening on the forum, why he wanted to start it, and what possible next steps could be.
Attendees then dropped questions and topics they wanted to discuss into a Slido. The main part of the discussion focused on āresponsibilitiesā vs āworkā of Delegates. See timestamps in video description to listen to this discussion.
All of the questions from the Slido can be found hereš
What will be the responsibiliites?
- How to run rewards as an automated smart contract?
- Isnt it too early?
- What would be the requirements to get the incentive? Voting %? Amount of ZK delegated? etc.
- What sort of behaviours (eg. governance activity, providing feedback, other contributions) should be prioritized through the program?
- I think balancing between big,.med and small delegates is.important
- When should we implement incentive program?
- Who will run the program?
- What exact activities you would reward?
- Do we expect delegates to provide work for the DAO (like research, oversight, accountability) or just make decisions?
- What is the opinion of ZK Chains and partners?
- Today, just 9 biggest delegates could decide if there shall be an incentive program or not. If you want to do it fair at the end, top 10 delegates shall abstain
- How to balance automation with manual oversight
- A lot of examples are about ecosystems with incentive programs as stipends or rewards directly, what about ecosystems where they donāt have these? Did they fail
- How can we define the responsibilities that are meaningful to ZKsyncās vision so we donāt just reward āparticipationā?
- What time commitment do we expect delegates to provide?
- Aside from voting and being active in the discussion around the proposals, what should delegates do?
- Who do you see benefiting the most from this program? Who will these rewards attract?
- I think incentivising delegates is a wrong thing to do in the first place. We shall rather look into ways to incentivise direct participation by all ZK holders
- Does anyone know any strengths/weaknesses from other DAO programs that we can learn from?
- What ecosystem milestones should be met and maintained to keep this program active? Is this only a program thatās active if Era has 3B in TVL?
- Is there evidence that these program examples produced impact?
- How do you measure meaningful/well informed contribution?
