RRC-XX: Q1 2025 Delegate Incentive Program Report

Date of Submission:

May 4, 2025

Authors

jarisjames (Founder of daospace)

Abstract

This proposal requests approval for the disbursement of Q1 2025 rewards under the RRC-40 Delegate Incentive Program. The program aims to reward RARI DAO delegates for active onchain participation, rationale posting, and proposal authorship. This proposal includes a transparent point-based breakdown of qualifying delegates, final payout calculations in RARI based on the spot price at disbursal time, and allocation of the admin fee for managing the program.

Motivation

The Delegate Incentive Program was launched to ensure the sustainability and quality of RARI DAO governance. It rewards delegates who demonstrate consistent voting behavior, provide rationale, and contribute to shaping the DAO’s future. This payout proposal ensures trust in the program and incentivizes meaningful participation.

Rationale

The program aligns with RARI DAO’s goals by reinforcing transparency, decentralization, and consistent engagement. The incentive structure encourages thoughtful governance participation and empowers delegates to contribute long-term. Publishing a clear rewards breakdown also strengthens community trust in how governance rewards are administered.

Steps to Implement

Timeline

  • April 1–30, 2025: Grace period to complete rationale threads

Overall Cost

  • Admin Fee (daospace): $1,500 in RARI

TOTAL COST: $31,510 in RARI

Note: Final rewards totaled $30,010 due to rounding in the Proposal Author Bonus. The 200 bonus points allocated for proposal authors did not divide evenly among 3 co-authors (Sixty, Cr1st0f, Bitblondy), resulting in a minor $10 overage.
