You need to own ARB tokens in your wallet and you need to delegate those ARB tokens to yourself if you would like to cast votes yourself. If you don’t feel like participating in votes yourself, you may also delegate your voting power to someone else. Whether you want to delegate voting power to yourself or someone else, you need to do it on [www.tally.xyz](https://www.tally.xyz) If anyone would like, please delegate some voting power to me at Castun.eth 🙂 ---

As answered above, just delegate your tokens to yourself or anyone else you choose at tally.xyz to participate in governance. I am also accepting voting power to anyone who would like to delegate to me at mrboard.eth Check my profile on tally.xyz or my application by searching for mrboard.eth in this forum if you are considering a delegate to use ---

Ok I’ve been trying to be involved in arb ecosystem for awhile and I did all that, delegated my tokens and such, now I’m unsure what to do in the case of all my arb tokens were sent out of my wallet, so my understanding is that now I can’t continue participating? How to get my tokens back? This is just so upsetting because I’ve never had this kind of thing happen and in which case what is it that a person, (newbie) can do to fix the situation? I do work hard not only in this community but a few others and never once asked for anything, compensation, rewards and such, in other words I do this voluntarily and so I guess my question is then, how to get my tokens back? It’s not like I can just buy them, and I’ve been trying to keep up with reading this forum and seems to me there are quite a few other people besides me with the same problem.
