What is a Threshold delegate?

A Threshold delegate is a DAO member who aligns strongly with the mission of the Threshold Network to leverage cryptographic tools that ensure full control of users’ digital assets.

Delegates provide ETH addresses that other Threshold token holders and Threshold stakers can delegate their vote weight to. This never involves the transferring or custody of assets but rather just the vote weight those assets represent in the Threshold DAO. Furthermore, vote weight can be redelegated at any time.

Delegates are responsible for voting on Threshold governance proposals with this vote weight that others have assigned to them.

Why do delegates exist?

Delegates exist because not everyone is able to fully commit to following Threshold governance and spending enough time considering every single DAO proposal. Allowing DAO members to delegate means they can still have an indirect say in the DAO, without having to be involved with day-to-day governance. Instead, they select active DAO members who have demonstrated solid commitment to Threshold to make decisions with their token weight and stake weight for them.

What do delegates do?

Delegates are volunteers who actively participate in Threshold governance and wish to grow their influence over key decisions in both the Threshold Token Holder DAO and the Threshold Staker DAO.

Delegates are expected to actively participate in all Threshold governance proposals while ensuring to make well researched and informed decisions.

Essentially, becoming a delegate means that other people are trusting your ability to make great on-chain decisions for the entire network.

Time commitment?

Voting on proposals is easy. Taking time to participate in governance discussion and ensure a proper understanding of what each proposal means… not as much.

Becoming a delegate does not require a hard time commitment to the DAO. For reference, so far there have been around 21 Threshold Improvement Proposals. The amount of time required is directly correlated to the amount of proposals that go through our on-chain governance system.

Compensation?

Delegates are volunteers, and there’s no established compensation for their contribution to governance.

If you are interested in earning T to help build the Threshold network check out our DAO guilds under the #daocontribute channel in our Discord server.

Who should be a delegate?

Anyone who understands the commitment to the DAO a delegate is making, is excited about Threshold governance and wants to directly grow their influence on the future of the network. This can be existing Threshold DAO contributors or members of other web3 communities.

Why I want to be a Threshold delegate: I have a strong commitment to the Threshold DAO and community. I started bridging the NuCypher and Keep Network communities in April of 2021 and have been a driving force of all community led initiatives. I currently lead the Threshold Marketing Guild and am an inaugural member of the Threshold Marketing Guild Committee.

While I am still learning more every day and might not be capable of forming the right conclusion independently, I have an acute ability to hear others and ask the right questions to make informed and educated decisions for the network. I am not afraid to send my favorite community members a line asking them to explain something to me like I’m 5. The great part is that our community is filled with people that will take the time out of their day to help others learn and grow.

Why I want to be a Threshold delegate:

My personal views on privacy and desire for a decentralized financial future are aligned with the Threshold Network. I am a fan of the approach of ensuring that each tool is a thoughtful “beautiful machine” as opposed to rushing to catch a wave of quick price increases. I’ve been following crypto tools since 2017 and focused most of my attention on Nucypher and now Threshold since Q2 of 2021.

Excited to grow with the Threshold DAO to become an industry leader in privacy and financial decentralization.

Thanks for stepping up, @JP1 and @beemeeupnow!

@ZeroInFo56 (a Threshold OG, member of 2 guilds and delegate with a lot of vote weight) has noted that it would be great to have enough delegates that none has more than 5%.

Who else is interested in being a delegate? I’m considering it, but at the moment not to get over-extended given my Marketing and Treasury guild commitments.

Why I want to be a Threshold delegate:

I am an active member of the Threshold Discord and Twitter Communities, T -holder, avid project enthusiast, and currently hold an elected to position to the Marketing Guild. I would like to continue my contributions and participation by self-nominating to the Threshold Council.

I originally learned of the Threshold Network as a member of the KEEP Community and participated in the historic on-chain merger and DAO Formation. This involvement has taught me great deal about the project and community, the long term product vision, and shared web3 values of the community, and I am very interested in joining the Threshold Council.

I understand that delegates are unpaid volunteers. Being a delegate does not qualify me for immediate payment in tokens: (Agree/Disagree/Comment)

Threshold DAO and / or other web3 qualifications:

I originally joined the KEEP Project as a test nest participant, learning about node operation, decentralization, and the day to day operations of onboarding and (digital) community management.

I was elected to the Marketing Guild in the Fall of 2022 and continue to serve and contribute to the DAO. My primary role is to host and coordinate Voice Calls, organize campaigns, and participating in Eth Denver.

I additionally work as a Moderator, host, and Sheppard (community onboarding) for the Tally Ho Wallet. We have built our community from a mere 200 to over 70,000 members. I host a weekly call and manage discord.

I have personally been involved in crypto since 2018 when I began following Etherium, early NFT projects, and learning about smart contracts. I feel that these qualifications, alongside my professional practice experience will lend themselves to my continuing contributions to the DAO.

Why I want to be a Threshold delegate: It has been more than two years since I operated a node for the Nucypher worklock and now for the Threshold network. I have always believed in the project’s prospects and future, holding tokens and participating in governance. The only weakness was in the Chinese community’s content and marketing, and my English is only at the level of written communication, so I was not able to deeply participate in the contribution to the DAO. After this suggestion from @MrsNuBooty on Twitter, I also realized that I might be able to take this opportunity to start from self-nomination and voting to represent, and more deeply participate in the contribution to the Threshold network. As we all know, China is a huge market, and there are countless people in the Chinese region who believe in the future of web3 and are like-minded, which can also allow friends in the Chinese community like me who are not very proficient in English and want to learn more about T to communicate and pay attention to the progress of the project, and expand consensus.

I confirm that: I’m willing and able to participate in governance of the upcoming DAO. I understand this is an ongoing role that requires active participation: (Agree)
I understand that delegates are unpaid volunteers. Being a delegate does not qualify me for immediate payment in tokens: (Agree)

Threshold DAO and / or other web3 qualifications: I entered the blockchain/web3 field in 2017. I have operated a Nucypher node and have been an active PRE/tBTC node staker. I worked as an operation manager for Odaily, one of the top three blockchain industry media in China, for more than three years.

As an active member of the Threshold community, I represent an ethical and engaged node in our decentralized governance. I am aligned to Threshold’s longterm mission, and believe in the essential services that the protocol offers to the decentralized ecosystem.

Why I want to be a Threshold delegate:

I am confident my experience with Threshold and beyond can be beneficial to people who may not have as much time to devote to following the myriad opportunities and questions facing this project now and in our exciting future.

I identify with Jake’s statement above regarding committing blood, sweat and tears to Threshold. As you see listed below, I’ve been involved with Keep for nearly 6 years and Threshold since inception. I significantly increased my activities starting in October 2022, and since mid-November I’ve spent 30-40 hours a week between roles on the Marketing and Treasury Guild committees, as well as on other DAO-wide activities (I’m currently compensated as a guild member and for up to 22 additional hours/week spent on a temporary role leading multiple Marketing Guild workstreams).

I commit to voting on every issue, as well as posting my reasoning on this forum, so anyone considering delegating can determine how well my views reflect theirs. I also welcome dialog here, in Discord and on twitter (including direct message).

Why I want to be a Threshold delegate:

As an active member of the Threshold community, I am deeply invested in the project’s mission, and I’ve held several roles within the DAO along the years, including an elected position in the Threshold Council last year, and Keep Network multi-sig member. Given my dedication and contributions to the community, I self-nominate for a position on the Threshold DAO delegates to continue my work towards supporting the network’s long-term vision.

My involvement with Threshold started through the KEEP Community, and I have been actively engaged with the project since its inception, participating in various on-chain events and DAO-wide activities. Through my experience, I have gained a comprehensive understanding of the project, community, and shared values that are central to Threshold’s long-term vision.

As a delegate, I will protect the DAO’s credibly neutral platform long-term vision. My voting decisions will reflect these goals, and I will make sure to post my reasoning on the forum to encourage constructive dialogue with the community. I am passionate about advancing privacy technologies and decentralized finance, which aligns with the Threshold network’s mission.
