Tally provides the infrastructure and guidance to launch and operate tokens at any stage. Whether you’re shipping tokens with governance on day one or rolling out in phases, Tally's platform is built on years of helping the industry's largest protocols successfully launch tokens . We’ve supported launches like Hyperlane, , Arbitrum, ZKsync, and more.
Tally's system is designed with flexibility in mind. You can launch just the token, pair it with staking and governance from day one, or progressively enable those components later. This modularity ensures technical teams aren’t locked into premature decisions while still laying a foundation for future expansion.
From contract deployment to governance activation, Tally supports your team across every phase of launch:
ERC20 token contract deployment (mint/burn, cap, upgradeable, etc.)
Optional components: transfer restrictions, vesting, lockups
Multichain support (bridged or canonical setups)
Progressive rollout flows: e.g. claim site + staking before transferability
Optional governance setup and delegation frameworks
Tally's contracts are widely used and actively maintained. They're deployed across Ethereum mainnet and major L2s and used in production by protocols like Hyperlane, ZKsync, Wormhole, and more. Security and regular audits are first principles in Tally's deployment process.
Tally offers branded, custom-built claim and staking frontends tailored to your protocol. UI and UX are developed in close collaboration with your team to ensure brand alignment and user clarity.
Tally helps your team prepare for a clean launch:
Pre-launch links and interfaces
Educational and onboarding materials
Page scaffolding
Tally offers protocols the ability to launch tokens with governance from day 1. Launching with governance includes everything in the traditional token launch package. Teams can also add governance at a future date.
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.
Gnosis Safe Management: Gnosis Safe integration for secure and efficient management of community funds and assets.
Wallet Support: Native support for a wide range of wallets, ensuring accessibility and convenience for all community members.
Public API: Tally's comprehensive public API can power custom governance applications and integrate with other tools and platforms within the Ethereum ecosystem.
Tally will deploy your governance smart contracts, including Governor with Flexible Voting extension and Timelock. These will operate with your governance token seamlessly.
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
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.
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.
Tally has the largest media presence in the onchain governance space, with DAO Talk podcast, The Tally Newsletter, our Twitter, and the Tally blog. We are excited to leverage these platforms to spread the word about the protocol's launch, vision and strategy, and needs for delegation.
Additionally, Tally can integrate with tooling like , or other vesting and lockup providers depending on your needs. Some components may require coordination across teams.
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. 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 . The Governor contract facilitates the proposal and voting process, while the Timelock contract enforces a delay between the proposal's passage and its execution.
Our flexible voting setup prepares you for more advanced governance structures. With flexible voting, you can implement sophisticated governance models, such as 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.
