Tally: firefly808.eth’s Delegate Profile
About
I’ve been a RARI DAO delegate since the beginning—Fall 2022. My focus has always been on building something sustainable for artists and collectors, not just chasing trends. I care about long-term thinking, rewarding real contributors, and creating systems that make participation worthwhile.
I come from a background that blends culture, governance, and DeFi. I’ve worked on a number of proposals aimed at aligning incentives and helping creators get the visibility and support they deserve. RARI is one of the few places in Web3 where art, community, and governance actually meet—and I want to make sure we protect that.
Core Values
• Transparency – make it make sense to the people using it
• Creativity – give artists tools, space, and a voice onchain
• Integrity – reward effort and impact, not gaming the system
• Longevity – we’re not here to farm short-term hype
Goals
- Back proposals that support genuine creators and collectors
- Build out infrastructure that actually helps contributors stick around
- Expand the tools we have for storytelling, identity, and cultural coordination
- Support community-led initiatives with real purpose—not just noise
- Help RARI DAO become a long-term cultural engine in Web3
Disclosures / Conflicts of Interest
I contribute to a few other DAOs and Web3 orgs. If there’s ever a conflict, I’ll call it out before voting.

Active governance is the backbone of a strong DAO, and right now, too many delegates are doing the work with zero support. This proposal fixes that with a simple, fair incentive model tied to real participation — voting, sharing rationale, and proposal writing.
It’s not over-engineered, it’s transparent, and it encourages consistency without being a cash grab. Feels like a necessary step if we want governance to grow and decentralize over time.
Easy yes for me.

This proposal directly implements the DAO’s directive from RRC-39 by establishing a clear, multi-chain fee collection system managed by the Foundation. It ensures secondary fees are properly aggregated and bridged to the treasury with transparency and efficiency. This is a necessary step to operationalize the DAO’s intent — I’m voting yes.

I’m voting YES on RRC-39 because it directly strengthens the financial foundation of the DAO by unlocking missed revenue opportunities and formalizing Rari DAO’s role in the evolving multichain NFT economy.
With over 66% of Rarible’s secondary trading volume occurring outside Ethereum mainnet—and no DAO mechanism to capture protocol fees on those chains—we’re leaving significant value on the table. This proposal empowers the Foundation to close that gap by expanding fee collection across all supported chains and introducing a fair, DAO-controlled fee on primary mints.
Not only does this bring alignment between Rarible’s growth and the DAO’s sustainability, but it also positions the DAO to benefit from future NFT innovation and cross-chain activity. The estimated $33,000 in additional revenue may be modest today, but it sets up long-term infrastructure for scalability and better treasury health.
RRC-39 is low-cost, high-impact, and aligned with our mission. It’s a clear step forward.

RRC-38 is a strong step forward, and the best part is the clean move to RARI Chain. It drops vote decay to match the new system, brings active delegates over without skipping a beat, and sets future cohorts up to run fully on RARI. The Event Horizon model is a nice bonus to strengthen governance, but really—it’s the shift to native-chain coordination that makes this worth supporting. Voting YES to keep momentum and build where it matters.

This proposal funds the core team that’s been driving real progress—RARI Chain, treasury diversification, governance upgrades, and more. The budget scales with the ecosystem, stays transparent, and focuses on what matters: growing the protocol and supporting the DAO.

Sydney’s original draft introduced a multisig for fund custody, but in practice that added complexity and no real benefit. I’ve reworked the proposal to:
-
Remove the multisig entirely. Funds flow directly from the Foundation treasury under existing safeguards.
-
Add clear due dates for each deliverable, so there’s a hard timeline and accountability.
-
Make all funds clawbackable if milestones aren’t met, protecting the DAO from wasted spend.
What Happened on Tally
I attempted to publish my revised version at https://www.tally.xyz/gov/rari-foundation/draft/2488092694971156438, but I was 540 veRARI short of the 1,000 veRARI threshold and couldn’t submit. It looks like StableLab ended up putting Sydney’s original draft on Tally instead.
Key Improvements
-
Simplicity: Dropping the multisig streamlines execution.
-
Accountability: Due dates and clawbacks ensure deliverables—or your RARI back.
-
Fairness: No new on-chain guardianship—this sits squarely under our existing treasury and grant process.

Delegate Thread: RRC-42 – Q1 Delegate Incentive Payout
I’m voting YES on RRC-42.
This proposal executes what was already approved in RRC-40: the Q1 payout for the Delegate Incentive Program. It rewards active RARI DAO delegates for:
-
Onchain voting
-
Posting rationale
-
Authoring proposals
This round includes a full breakdown of who earned what and why—me included—and uses a transparent point system and spot pricing for conversion. No surprises, no backroom deals. Just proof-of-participation → proof-of-payout.
Why this matters:
DAO governance often talks about sustainability, but RRC-42 delivers it.
This is exactly the kind of loop we should be reinforcing:
Show up. Contribute. Get paid.
It’s not speculative. It’s not delayed. It’s not based on social clout.
It’s earned.
My Take:
It’s fabulous that this proves participating in governance earns.
As someone who consistently votes and posts rationale, I believe this is a model worth doubling down on. We’re making it clear that showing up and doing the work isn’t just respected—it’s compensated.
This is what credible DAO governance looks like.

I’m voting YES on RRC-43 because I strongly support introducing staking on Rari Chain. This initiative will not only encourage current $RARI holders to migrate and actively use Rari Chain but also attract new users to the ecosystem. By bringing staking to Rari Chain, we’re boosting governance participation and significantly enhancing the utility and value of the $RARI token.
