Alchemix Delegate Interest Form

0xFelix

As the protocol becomes more decentralized, it is key that the community’s participation in governance is at a high level, and that each proposal is considered carefully. To that end, Alchemix recently introduced a minimum quorum of 50k ALCX. To aid in achieving quorum for governance, an ALCX vote delegation system has been set up as well.

These days, it is often difficult for people not directly involved in the protocol, and/or for people that are not paying close attention, to properly assess governance proposals. For this reason, we encourage everyone that does not have the time or inclination to participate in governance to delegate their voting power to one of the community delegates.

We also highly encourage community members who want to become delegates to post a short message in this forum post so others know 1) who you are and what you stand for, and 2) to which address they can delegate to. The template is provided below. The protocol will also be compiling a list of active delegates for easy reference. Posting here is not required - anyone wishing to be a delegate may advertise in any way they see fit.

Please note there are no additional rewards, financial or otherwise, for delegates. Alchemix core team members and active DAO contributors are not eligible to become delegates.

How to delegate your ALCX voting power

Delegating your ALCX voting power requires a single transaction. There are no limitations and/or locking mechanisms when you delegate your voting power. You can always use your tokens how you see fit.

Here’s how to set a delegate:

Choose a delegate from the below list. Feel free to ask delegates questions on Discord in case you want to learn more about them.
Go to the governance page in the app and connect your wallet.
Copy your delegate’s ENS name or ETH address and click “Delegate”. This is an on-chain transaction that will cost a small amount of gas.

That’s it! Your voting power is now delegated to the person of your choice.

You can always remove the delegation or change delegates at any point in time. And, if there is a proposal you feel strongly about, you can always cast your own vote on Snapshot - your direct vote will take priority over your delegated voting power.

Apply to become a delegate

Anyone can become a delegate, but active community members are preferred.

Short intro / background: smoll ALCX bag holder who has been following Alchemix for approximately 1.5 years. My main interest as a voter is the long term success of Alchemix. You can count on my votes to prioritize protocol health, security and the sustainability of the core team and its operations.

RoboOdin

Name: (and/or Discord and Twitter handles) Robo-Odin

Delegate address: 0x394b67c6bc05abb14c73a57706dcd5cb85231c4e

Short intro/background: I spend too much time learning about different protocols and how they work might as well put it to use. ALCX was the first thing I ever used in DEFI. I will use my knowledge of other protocols to help offer a potentially outside perspective. I fully support the safe vision that ALCX offers. I believe ALCX is an essential tool for defi.

Other DeFi roles: I try to be active in other protocol governance but just as a holder.

Just want to note 0xderivadev has recently launched a lending protocol similar to Alchemix. Anyone can delegate to anyone, it's permissionless, but I would personally recommend delegating elsewhere due to conflict of interest (unless it becomes apparent in the future that the protocols can work together). Separately full support for robo and bennixius, both have been big voices in governance, properly do research, are involved in DeFi, and I'm happy to have them have a say that represents the effort they put in. (Again this is all my own view, delegate however you want).
