ODG Governance Nominations

There’s still time to step up or nominate your choice for Open Dollar delegates. Holders of ODG may choose to create proposals or vote independently, or assign their voting power to their delegates of choice on the governance page.

Electing experienced and reputable delegates will ensure efficient DAO operations and has been shown to increase voting participation rates versus DAOs without delegation functions.

If you know an ideal candidate who embodies the qualities needed to represent you and your interests on the Open Dollar platform, now is the time to extend an invitation to them.
