Push DAO

Overview

In November 2024, Push DAO launched the Push Delegate Program: Epoch 1, aiming to strengthen governance participation by delegating 50,000 PUSH to five selected community members. The delegated tokens are vested via Hedgey Finance, granting voting rights on Snapshot.

To ensure active governance engagement, the vested tokens will only unlock in May 2025 (the end of the first year of Push DAO v2) if a delegate maintains 85% participation in both discussions and voting.

Compensation Structure & Eligibility

Voting Participation

  • Maintain at least 85% voting participation throughout the program.

  • Failure to meet this threshold for two consecutive months may result in removal.

Forum Discussions

  • Engage actively in the Push Forum, providing high-quality feedback on governance proposals.

  • AI-generated content is strictly prohibited and will lead to removal.

Communicating Rationale

  • Maintain a delegate thread explaining voting decisions.

  • Follow a structured format covering contact info, delegate motivation, conflicts of interest, and waiver of liability.

Selection Criteria

  • Push DAO/community involvement

  • Prior governance participation

  • Relevant experience and skills

  • Understanding of Push DAO’s governance challenges

Governance & Oversight

  • Delegates failing to meet participation requirements for two consecutive months risk removal from the program.

  • Community accountability is enforced through public delegate threads documenting governance decisions.

Implementation Plan & Timeline

  • Q4 2024 – Push Delegate Program: Epoch 1 launched with 50,000 PUSH delegated via Hedgey Finance.

  • Q2 2025 – Vesting period ends; tokens unlock only if delegates meet the 85% participation requirement.

  • Ongoing – Governance monitoring, participation tracking, and enforcement of accountability measures.

Key Takeaways

  • Push DAO introduces vested delegation, ensuring long-term commitment from selected delegates.

  • Strict participation thresholds (85%) enforce governance accountability and prevent inactive delegates.

  • Emphasis on discussion quality, banning AI-generated content to maintain governance integrity.

  • The delegate selection process prioritizes community involvement, ensuring alignment with Push DAO’s long-term vision.
