Applicant summary–briefly explain why you’re interested in applying for this Delegate Reward Initiative:
Event Horizon is designed to enfranchise the long tail distribution of tens of thousands of smaller voters found within the citizenry of every DAO.
Uniswap Metrics: The Event Horizon Community has participated in 31 Uniswap proposals (on-chain and off) with zero downtime
General Metrics & Traction: Event Horizon is already live within both the Gitcoin and Arbitrum ecosystems and has mobilized >$60,000,000 of voting power across ~500 proposals on over 6 DAOs all on behalf of retail voters at no cost to the user. This is $560000,000 of voice amplification for the low-capital, high-conviction citizens which would never have been possible prior to the Event Horizon’s product.
Most recently, Event Horizon officially partnered with Gitcoin to leverage the Gitcoin Passport and received a 150,000 GTC community delegation: x(.)com/EventHorizonDAO/status/1773075757759127818?s=20
Event Horizon is in the process of conducting a similar proposal for a 7,000,000 ARB (~$5m) community enfranchisement delegation – forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/delegate-to-a-public-access-public-good-citizen-enfranchisement-pool-through-event-horizon/21523 – This proposal is overwhelmingly supported by the community and is inclusive of Gitcoin’s Passport solution as a partner product:
Event Horizon was also endorsed by the CEO of SushiSwap, Jared Grey: twitter(.)com/jaredgrey/status/1766196631630663956
Voting is the first step to onboarding new DAO contributors and/or delegates. But without meaningful voting authority, new and existing DAO citizens will remain sidelined and the DAO will remain worse off compared to competitors who optimize top of the funnel.
Event Horizon allows DAO citizens to vote with meaningful authority through its novel governance mechanism: Implicit Delegation: medium(.)com/hvax/implicit-delegation-event-horizons-governance-solution-3815d61ded12
Event Horizon slots into the broader DAO ecosystem in a similar fashion to a standard delegate. However, rather than the pool voting based on the decision of one individual or group, it votes with the collective cognition of hundreds of individual Event Horizon Voter Pass holders. This serves two functions:
- Enfranchise Community Citizens: It provides a clear and designated voice for smaller, retail voters.
- Increase Meaningful Retail Participation: It drives participation through a game theoretic process called Implicit Delegation. Whether 10 people show up to vote, or 10,000 people do, the full retail voter allotment is mobilized in support of the community’s desired outcome:
When participation is low… each voter receives a larger slice of the public access pie. This means the fewer people there are voting, the more incentive there is for someone new to come and participate.
When participation is high… there are more voters splitting the same pie, however, retail participation is high, which is a great win for the ecosystem.
This is all done without the need to pay delegates with inflationary token rewards, which would attract the wrong crowd anyway. Event Horizon’s model attracts people who are strictly interested in governance, not payment.
