RARI DAO delegates are responsible for a majority of initiatives coming out of the RARI DAO. Delegates meet on a regular basis to discuss potential opportunities across the RARI ecosystem, and turn ideas into proposals. If accepted by the community, they are implemented in real life.

Below are just a few examples of initiatives brought to life by the Delegate Launchpad participants this year.

• RRC-21: Gas Fee Rebate for Delegates on-chain governance & Gasless voting params

• RRC-23: Framework for setting up a working group

• RRC-24: Empowering Latin American Artists Through Art

• RRC-25: Lock-up revision for Ecosystem Grants

• RRC-27: Repurposing Legacy Wallet

• RRC-28 Implementing a RARI Protocol Fee

• RRC-29: A Clearer Grants Committee Mandate

• RRC-32: [Updated] Trial run a Governance Working Group

It’s a real education & career opportunity

By spending six months with the RARI DAO, you are diving headfirst in the day-to-day, behind the scenes processes of running community-governed web3 infrastructure. Working with experienced delegates and the RARI Foundation team helps you build up the skills that will make you a valuable contributor to any DAO out there. Or launch a brand new community-governed project :)

Besides, some of Delegate Launchpad alumni go on to take paid positions in the RARI ecosystem, i.e. as Security Council members. While paid positions are not guaranteed depending on what the DAO decides, it shows the scope of opportunities available to the active contributors.

It feels like a fam

Web3 is famous for tight communities. If you are still looking for your own, look no further ;) We at RARI DAO strive to create an environment that fosters not only ecosystem growth, but meaningful connections.
