Description:
Tally is a comprehensive onchain governance platform that enables DAOs to launch, manage, and scale decentralized governance efficiently. As the leading provider of onchain governance, Tally offers secure, transparent, and user-friendly tooling for DAOs to facilitate proposal creation, voting, and delegation. Our platform has integrated Rootstock network since November 2024 and we Rootstock Collective is operated on Tally (see page).
Mission:
Enable efficient credibly neutral onchain organizations that scale to billions of participants and trillions in value
Product:
Tally is the leading onchain governance provider, and Rootstock Collective uses Tally to operate onchain governance. Tally provides an advanced suite of governance tools designed to support DAOs throughout their entire lifecycle. Key features include:
- Proposal & Voting System: Enables onchain voting with full transparency and security. Tally also has a no-code proposal tool, meaning anyone can make a DAO proposal
- Delegate System: Facilitates effective governance participation by allowing token holders to delegate voting power.
- Multichain Governance: Supports DAOs across multiple blockchain networks, including Ethereum, Rootstock, and other EVM-compatible chains. This allows Rootstock-based DAOs to interact with broader ecosystems.
- Governance Analytics: Provides real-time insights into voting participation, delegate activity, and proposal outcomes.
- Staking: Allows DAOs to implement staking mechanisms, with the option to tie staking rewards to governance participation to incentivise better governance.
Tally adds value to the Rootstock ecosystem by offering a fully onchain governance solution that aligns with Rootstock’s mission of enabling decentralized finance (DeFi) and secure smart contracts on Bitcoin. Any DAO built on Rootstock can use with Tally to launch, grow, and manage governance operations efficiently.
Traction:
- $80billion+ assets held in Governor contracts on Tally
- $700million+ transferred on Tally
- 200,000+ delegations made on Tally
- 7,000+ onchain proposals made on Tally
Roadmap:
Our current focus is building out the Tally Protocol, a staking system designed to empower DAOs and their governance tokens.
Beyond staking, we have public plans to introduce Council-based voting mechanisms, allowing DAOs to delegate decision-making authority to elected or appointed representatives. This feature will help DAOs tailor governance structures to their specific needs, making governance more scalable and adaptable.
Looking ahead, we are also working on:
- Improved Multichain Governance: Expanding governance support across additional networks to enable cross-chain participation.
- Enhanced Delegate Infrastructure: Strengthening delegate onboarding, visibility, and engagement tools to improve governance efficiency.
- Better Proposal & Voting UX: Continuing to refine the user experience to lower barriers to participation and make governance more accessible.
Conclusion:
Tally provides DAOs with the tools they need to launch, manage, and scale decentralized and onchain decision-making. By integrating with Rootstock, we extend our proven governance infrastructure to the ecosystem, ensuring DAOs can operate with transparency, security, and efficiency.
With tools for creating proposals, voting, delegation, and staking, Tally empowers Rootstock-based DAOs—including Rootstock Collective—to build strong, decentralized governance structures. We have supported Rootstock network since November 2024.
This proposal aligns with Rootstock’s mission to enable secure, DeFi and smart contract execution on Bitcoin. Strengthening governance infrastructure is key to helping Rootstock DAOs grow and succeed, and Tally is excited to play a part in this!
