About the Obol Collective Governance

📍These are the two primary goals of the Obol Collective governance system: 📍Capture resistance. Governance plays a key role in securing the anti-capture and censorship resistance of the DV protocol. Governance should a) make it possible for operations to continue without reliance on any individual entity in the longer term b) prevent any one entity or small group of entities from being able to control or censor the protocol or its functions. 📍Resource allocation. Governance´s second primary responsibility is to allocate resources effectively to support the Collective’s vision and accrue sustainable value to the Obol Collective. Vision & value may often be in conflict, and allocating resources effectively involves a blend of short-term and long-term thinking. This includes allocation of both the token treasury and protocol revenue. 📍The Obol Collective is governed by two houses, the Agora and the Obol RAF. 📍In the Agora, $OBOL holders are responsible for submitting, deliberating, and voting on various types of Obol Collective governance proposals. They may do so by either voting with their $OBOL tokens directly (after delegating their $OBOL voting power to their own address), or by delegating their $OBOL voting power to an eligible third party. Addresses with delegated $OBOL voting power are called “Delegates”. 📍In the Obol RAF, $OBOL tokens Delegates are responsible for allocating funds in the Obol RAF Fund to projects and teams from the Obol Collective that provide value to it through a process called “retroactive funding” (RAF).
