Rootstock Collective Delegate Race - Rules of the Game

General
1

For those who want to participate, here’s an in depth explanation of how the delegate race works.

:red_question_mark:1. Where is the race held?

The race is held on the Rootstock Collective Forum — right here!
→ :thread: Official Race Thread – Post Your Delegate Pitch Here (link to actual post)

Each delegate candidate submits their application as a reply to the main Delegate Race thread. This is where the community can read your vision, ask questions, and decide who to support.

:scroll: 2. What are the rules of the race?

It’s simple and fair. The race is designed to spotlight high-quality governance contributors.

Basic rules:

  • You must post your delegate pitch in the forum thread within the application window (until 14 May 2025 midnight UTC)

  • Pitches should include: who you are, what you stand for, and how you’ll serve Rootstock governance

  • You must register a .rsk domain for your delegate identity (e.g. stablelabdelegate.rsk)

  • You must be available and willing to actively vote and communicate with the community

  • We’ll host optional intro calls and provide onboarding support

:trophy: 3. How do you win the race?

Delegates are selected based on:

  • Total delegated stRIF received (visible in the dApp or on Tally)

  • Clarity and quality of your delegate pitch

  • Community support, visibility, and engagement

  • Bonus: previous contributions to Rootstock or other DAOs

:pushpin: At the end of the race, the top 5–6 candidates with strong delegation and good standing will be onboarded as official delegates — and may receive loaned voting power or other support to get started.

:writing_hand: 4. How do you enter the race?

  1. Register a delegate wallet and get a .rsk domain like stablelabdelegate.rsk

  2. Write your delegate pitch (name, values, priorities, experience)

  3. Post your pitch as a reply to the Delegate Race thread

  4. Share it with your network, call for support, and get stRIF holders to delegate to you!

You can delegate voting power directly via:
→ https://gov.rootstockcollective.xyz/latest
 → Tally | RootstockCollective

:megaphone: We’ll also run a short campaign on X and Discord/Telegram to help raise visibility for all delegate candidates. Don’t be shy — we’re here to help you succeed.

Have more questions? Drop them in the thread or DM a member of the Shepherds or StableLab team.

Let the race begin :chequered_flag:
