gm RARI DAO fam,
This quarter, we launched the Delegate Incentive Program to reward delegates who participate in onchain voting, publish thoughtful rationale, and help shape the DAO’s future through proposal authorship. This report outlines who qualified, how points were calculated, and the exact payouts based on Q1 activity.
Eligibility Clarification
To qualify for rewards this quarter, delegates had to meet all of the following requirements:
-
Have at least 2,000 veRARI delegated at the start of the quarter
-
Maintain an active Delegate Thread on the governance forum
-
Vote on at least 60% of onchain proposals (3 out of 5)
-
Not receive direct compensation from the RARI Foundation for governance services
This follows the original RRC-40 proposal exactly, no mention was made of decaying voting power or fluctuating thresholds throughout the quarter.
The program is designed to reward participation, not penalize technical mechanics like veRARI decay, which are outside of a delegate’s control.
Grace periods were added to help more delegates qualify (e.g. for rationale submissions), but no retroactive slashing logic has been introduced.
Point System Overview
Rewards were distributed based on a total of 2,061 points earned across all eligible delegates. The Q1 reward pool was $30,000 in RARI, making the price per point:
$14.56 per point
(Rounded to the nearest cent)
Delegates could earn points through:
- Onchain Voting
-
Max 100 points
-
Each vote = 20 points
- Delegate Thread (Rationale Writing)
-
Max 100 points
-
Each rationale = 20 points (only for proposals they voted on)
-
Must include: vote decision, reasoning, and constructive feedback
-
Rationale must be posted before the grace period closed - April 30th, 2025
- Proposal Author Bonus
-
200 bonus points total, split among authors of passed proposals
-
In Q1, RRC-40 was co-authored by sixty, bitblondy, cr1st0f
-
Each author received 67 bonus points (rounded up from 66.66)
Transparency Notes
-
The content of each rationale is hyperlinked to the original delegate thread (not copied in full here to keep the report clean).
-
Technical issue exceptions (e.g. coffee-crusher) were only granted when clearly documented and tied to onchain wallet errors or Tally malfunction.
-
Missed votes for reasons outside of technical issues were not eligible for points or exceptions.
