Delegate

In this week's episode, we had an insightful conversation with the co-founder of Butter, a pioneering start-up working to enhance governance structures by offering delegate incentives. We delved into Butter's significant impact on protocols like AAVE, discussing how their innovative approach reduces the cost of governance delegation, increases the number of delegates for protocols, aligns interests with the protocol rather than external factors, and ensures accountability through reporting and communication. Don't miss this engaging discussion on the future of governance!

This week we are covering one of the biggest governance proposals in DeFi - MakerDAO’s MIP 101: The Constitution. We speak with two of the top delegates over at MakerDAO, PaperImperium and CodeKnight, to understand the proposal in more detail, what its implications are for token holders, users, and participants, and how you can get involved with voting. 

Voting kicked off on 14th March and will go on until the 28th March - if you can vote we urge that you do as this proposal will change MakerDAO at its very core.
