The Recognized Delegate Compensation Program continues to deliver - incentivizing the delegates who consistently show up, vote thoughtfully, and push Rootstock’s decentralization forward.

Huge appreciation to all our delegates for closing the year strong. Your continued participation and quality governance contributions are the foundation of this DAO’s momentum heading into 2026.

**Next step →** The payment proposal will be posted on-chain via the Rootstock Collective dApp today, the first week of January 2026 for community and delegate approval, followed by fund transfers.

**Full transparency. On-chain accountability. Strong finish to the year.**

Here’s to scaling this flywheel even further in 2026. 🚀
