Hey friends, at DeepDAO.io we looked at the data we have on top delegates in the ecosystem, and their interconnections. Check out this thread: https://twitter.com/DeepDAO_io/status/1790390075404038445
Most of the top delegates – in the ecosystem at large – are getting delegators from Arbitrum and Optimism. A longer report is coming, and for now we looked at the top 5. A few insights are emerging:
- Many of the top delegates are active in multiple DAOs. Clearly a good way to facilitate communication and partnerships, and also a potential source for conflict of interests.
- Looking at the top delegates is a good way to identify lesser known, up and coming DAOs, which draw their interest. See an example in the tweet.
- An open question. Are the top delegates the new financial elite, managing 10s of billions of USD value in top tokens?
- Another open question: are we seeing delegation as a force of centralization, or the opposite, are they a 2nd power center, balancing the power with the original team and the foundation?
We’re working on more data and insights. Stay tuned.
