GM ZK Nation community,

We believe the strength of ZK Nation comes from all of us. For our shared mission to govern, defend, and grow the protocol to succeed, our governance process must be open and clear to everyone. That’s why we built the ZKnation Delegate Dashboard.

Our goal is simple: to provide a clear, data-driven view of our delegates’ activities. It’s a tool built on the principle of “don’t trust, verify,” enabling any member of the community to see how governance is functioning. This transparency is crucial for the Collective Action needed to keep ZKsync governance effective and truly decentralized.

This thread will serve as:

  • A hub for updates and new features.
  • A space for community feedback to help us refine this tool for ZK Nation.
  • Where we can work together to define what makes a great delegate.

Dashboard Overview

The dashboard provides delegate-centric insights to make ZKsync governance more accessible, reinforcing the ZK Principle of Accessibility and enabling the effective participation of all stakeholders.

Key Features

1. Delegate Tracking

Gain detailed insights into the role of delegates within governance, including:

  • Delegate Name: Displays the name or ENS (Ethereum Name Service) address of the delegate.
  • Delegated Token (% Voting Power): This represent the percentage of total votable tokens that have been delegated to a specific delegate.
  • Delegators: This number of delegators who have delegated their tokens to a particular delegate.
  • Forum Score: This score is designed to provide a quantifiable measure of a delegate’s activity and engagement in DAO governance discussions.
  • Onchain Vote: This represent the participation rate over the first proposal delegate start voting.
  • Most Onchain Recent Votes: Shows the latest 5 onchain voted/not voted/not member by the delegate.

Status:

  • Active: A delegate actively engaged in voting. They’ve either voted on over 50% of the proposals since their first vote or participated in the latest 5 proposals.
  • Inactive: A delegate with limited voting activities, having participated in less than 50% of the proposals since their first vote.
  • Ghost: A delegate who, despite receiving delegation, hasn’t exercised their voting power.

2. Forum Score Integration

To get your Forum Score to appear, you need to link your accounts. It’s a quick process to prove you own both your wallet and your forum profile.

  2. Link your forum account by entering your forum name.
  3. Sign a verification message to confirm your identity with your forum handle.
  4. Post the generated signature text:
    • Copy the message.
    • Go to the forum and post the generated signature text under this thread.
  5. Return to https://zknation.curiahub.xyz/ to complete the verification process

What’s Next

The dashboard today is just a starting point. To make it truly useful, we need your help to shape its future. Here are two key areas where we’d love your input:

  1. Delegate Score

    A meaningful Delegate Score should reflect our collective values. What does a great delegate look like to you? Here are our initial ideas for metrics to start the conversation:

Metric Definition Why It Matters
Voting Participation Score Measures the percentage of proposals a delegate has voted on since their first eligible proposal. Ensures delegates consistently represent ZK Nation, upholding the Reliability of our governance system.
Voting Impact Score Evaluates how often a delegate’s vote aligns with the final passing outcome, adjusted by the voting power they used. Highlights delegates who effectively contribute to securing the protocol and advancing the ZK Credo through governance.
Voting Timeliness Score Tracks how early in the voting window a delegate casts their vote, rewarding proactive participation. Encourages proactive participation, allowing for deeper community discussion and alignment before decisions are finalized.
Rationale Submission Score Assesses how frequently a delegate provides explanations for their votes, both onchain and in forum discussions. Promotes Integrity, allowing any member of ZK Nation to verify the reasoning behind a delegate’s decisions.
Forum Score Quantifies offchain governance engagement, such as forum discussions, proposal feedback, and proposal initiations. Recognizes vital offchain contributions that Strengthen the ZK Community, a primary goal of our governance system.
Number of Votes Cast Simple count of proposals voted on, adjusted for activity windows. Offers a baseline indicator of a delegate’s overall activity level.

  1. Activity Status Definitions

    Are our current definitions for Active, Inactive, and Ghost fair and useful? What would you change?
