To incentivize delegate participation in governance token voting, DAOs employ financial and reputation-based rewards. Platforms like Uniswap offer monthly stipends in native tokens (e.g., $6,000 UNI) to delegates meeting participation thresholds (≥80% voting rate) and governance contributions. GnosisDAO allocates non-transferable voting权重 (5% of supply) to active delegates, revoking privileges for inactivity. KPI-driven models reward delegates based on proposal quality or community engagement metrics. Embedding incentives into economic design, such as auto-reward systems for voting/delegation, creates self-reinforcing cycles. These strategies boost voter turnout, decentralize decision-making, and align delegate interests with long-term protocol health.
