Delegate your Tokens
Delegate your voting power on Tally
Delegation is required for KITE token holders to participate in HAI governance both directly and passively. Token holders have the option to vote directly on proposals through self-delegation, or to delegate their voting power to a representative. You can delegate your voting power to another address whether or not you have enough tokens to submit an on-chain proposal. (Please refer to Delegation for more information).
NOTE: To participate directly, follow the instructions below and select your own wallet address for self-delegation.
To delegate your voting power, you will need an Ethereum wallet that holds KITE tokens, such as MetaMask. Once you have your wallet set up, you can follow these steps:
Go to the HAI governance page on Tally, the decentralized governance tool that the HAI community uses.
Connect your wallet to Tally by clicking on "Connect Wallet" and selecting the address that holds your KITE tokens.
Click on the "Delegate" tab on the top menu.
Search for the delegate you want to vote for by typing their Ethereum address or their name in the search bar.
Click on the "Delegate" button next to the delegate you've chosen.
Confirm the delegation by clicking on the "Delegate" button on the pop-up window that appears.
Once your transaction is confirmed, your voting power will be transferred to the delegate you've chosen. You can also check your delegation by going to the "Votes" tab on Tally and looking for the delegate you've chosen.
When selecting a delegate, it's essential to consider the following:
The delegate's values, as outlined in the HAI governance documentation and positions held in previous proposals.
The delegate's track record, if they have one.
The delegate's level of engagement with the community and their willingness to listen and respond to feedback.
The delegate's level of technical expertise and experience in the space.
By following these steps and considering these factors, you can ensure that you're delegating your voting power to a trustworthy and competent delegate who will work to further the goals of the HAI community. If you have any questions or concerns, visit the HAI governance forum or Discord.
