Launch Governance

Launch once, build forever.

Tally's platform is built on years of helping the industry's largest protocols successfully launch governance. Tally provides a streamlined launch process to anticipate and solve common governance challenges before they arise to ensure the protocol governance structure is robust, scalable, and built for long-term success.

5 Features of Launching Governance with Tally

End-to-end Governance Application

Tally provides a comprehensive governance solution. These features are complete and ready to be used by the community.

Custom Domain: A version of our governance platform that can be hosted at a custom domain.

Voting: Secure, transparent, and efficient voting mechanisms to ensure that all governance decisions reflect the will of the community.

Proposal Execution: Automated execution of approved proposals.

Proposal Drafting and Collaboration: Collaborative proposal creation through tools designed to enable multiple contributors to work together seamlessly.

Proposal Creation with Arbitrary Executables: Proposals can be created with customizable executable actions, allowing for a wide range of governance activities and decisions to be automated and enforced onchain.

No-Code Transfers: Easy and secure fund transfers within the community without requiring any coding skills.

Notifications: Real-time notifications about important events, proposals, and decisions within the community.

DAO Analytics: Detailed analytics and insights into community activities, member engagement, proposal outcomes, and overall performance.

Public API: Tally's comprehensive public API can power custom governance applications and integrate with other tools and platforms within the Ethereum ecosystem.

Governance Smart Contract Development

Tally will deploy your governance smart contracts, including Governor with Flexible Voting extension and Timelock. These will operate with your governance token seamlessly.

Token with ERC20 Votes Deployment: Tally will deploy your token, a non-fungible, non-transferable token that can be minted and revoked by the Governor. ERC20Votes extension ensures that your governance token supports vote delegation and efficient tracking of voting power over time.

Governor and Timelock Contracts Deployment: Tally will deploy the Governor and Timelock contracts. The Governor contract facilitates the proposal and voting process, while the Timelock contract enforces a delay between the proposal's passage and its execution.

Flexible Voting: Our flexible voting setup prepares you for more advanced governance structures. With flexible voting, you can implement sophisticated governance models, such as MultiGov and partial delegation, in the future. This adaptability is crucial for evolving governance needs, ensuring that your system can grow and adapt as the community scales.

Advising on Governance Parameters: Establishing robust governance parameters is essential for effective decentralized governance. Tally will provide detailed guidance on setting the following key parameters to ensure smooth and effective operation of your governance system:

• Proposal Threshold

• Quorum Requirement

• Voting Period

• Voting Delay

• Execution Delay

Delegate Registration (Demo)

Tally provides a comprehensive Delegate Registration flow, designed to streamline delegate acquisition.

Governance Launch Announcement: Tally will launch a targeted campaign ~1 week prior to the launch, with a dedicated launch page (e.g.,https://www.tally.xyz/gov/DAOname) to build awareness.

Delegate Sign-up Process: Tally will implement an intuitive sign-up flow for users interested in becoming delegates.

Newsletter Announcements: Tally will feature the protocol's call for delegates in The Tally Newsletter, reaching an audience of over 1500 governance enthusiasts and potential delegates.

Claim and Delegation Experience (Demo)

When delegation is not part of the initial claim process, the likelihood of subsequent delegation diminishes significantly. Inactive tokens sitting in wallets hinders active governance participation and that’s why we really recommend delegation go hand in hand with airdrop claim flow.

To ensure a smooth and convenient transition from token claim to active governance participation, Tally provides a post-claim delegation experience.

Custom Token Claim Interface: Tally will create a custom UI for users to claim the governance token and immediately delegate their tokens to ensure governance participation from the onset.

Seamless Delegate Discovery and Selection: Tally will develop a user-friendly interface that guides token holders through the process of discovering and selecting delegates, immediately following the token claim experience.

Delegate Profile Pre-population: Tally will automatically populate delegate profiles with information gathered during the call for delegates phase, streamlining the selection process for token holders.

Transparent Voting Power Display: Tally will provide users with clear insights into their voting power alongside detailed information on incoming and outgoing delegations.
