Abstract

This proposal requests approval for the disbursement of Q2 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.

Eligibility Criteria:

To qualify for rewards in Q2 2025 under the RRC-40 Delegate Incentive Program, delegates were required to meet the following conditions:

  1. Minimum Voting Participation:
    Delegates must have voted on at least 5 out of 7 proposals this quarter. This satisfies the 60% minimum voting participation requirement set in RRC-40.

  2. Voting Power Requirement (Amended):
    Per RRC-40, delegates must have at least 2,000 veRARI delegated to them on Ethereum Mainnet. However, to account for the dual-governance model introduced with Rari Chain, this requirement has been amended to also include delegates with at least 2,000 RARI voting power on Rari Chain.
    Mainnet Snapshot: Tally – RARI Foundation
    Rari Chain Snapshot: Tally – RARI DAO

  3. Active Delegate Thread:
    Delegates must maintain an active Delegate Thread on the RARI DAO governance forum, posting rationale for each vote during the quarter. Forum activity was reviewed to confirm compliance.

  4. Not already paid for delegate services by Foundation

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.

Thank you so much, @jarisjames for completing the report for Q2 of the Delegate Incentive Program. I did notice that my Delegate wallet address is incorrect in this report. I posted an update on the Forum with my new (and correct) wallet address here, and I’ve also updated my Tally profile with my new wallet address here.

Can you please correct the receiving wallet address with: 0x6a39677F216D8Ea21BE5F95798Cd23d0c454E818

Hi @jarisjames , I do also have a question. With RARI V2 (RARI Chain) being live, are we voting on V2 or V1 for this Q2 proposal?

No problem, @coffee-crusher. The wallet address has been updated. Appreciate you.

Great question! Since the RARI treasury still resides on Ethereum mainnet, this Q2 proposal will be voted on using RARI V1.
