Picture this

Who it is for

Amara Nwosu votes for 640 delegators in two DAOs from a shared desk in Lisbon, and she keeps missing the rationale post after an onchain vote, so her delegators feel ignored. Delegate Desk puts every Snapshot and onchain proposal in one inbox, publishes her rationale the moment she votes, collects signed feedback from the people who delegated to her, and keeps a public report card of participation, rationale rate and the times she changed her mind.

Why it is new

What exists today, and what this does differently

Why own your own

Karma already scores delegates on participation and forum activity, Tally shows delegate pages with Karma scores, and Arbitrum's delegate programme counts rationales by hand. Delegate Desk is built for the delegate's own workflow rather than for scoring from outside: one inbox across Snapshot and onchain governors, a rationale composer that publishes with the vote, a feedback channel limited to the delegate's own delegators, and a report card that records changes of mind with the reason.

Closest things out there

Karma delegate dashboards and scores, Tally delegate pages, Agora on Optimism, Boardroom. They track and score delegates; none found that combines vote plus rationale publishing, a delegator only feedback channel and a change of mind record in one tool for the delegate.

Checked with web searches in October 2026. A search is not proof that nothing similar exists, and the market moves fast, so we recheck before every build.

What it unlocks

The human in it

Delegates are trusted with other people's voice; this makes that trust visible both ways.

What you own

The whole app, not a starter kit.

A complete delegate desk you own: delegates vote with a published rationale across Snapshot and onchain governors, hear from their delegators and keep a public report card, while your console runs plans, desk rules, growth and the proposal watcher.

BLUEPRINT

Why it matters and how it really works

The recipe (how it is built, the data, costs, risks, build order, the pitch and the demo script) is unlocked when your app is paid in full.

The need

Delegates vote on behalf of hundreds or thousands of token holders across Snapshot and onchain governors. They juggle deadlines in several tabs, often forget to post a rationale after an onchain vote, and have no channel to hear from the people who delegated to them besides public forums full of noise.

What exists and what is new

This largely exists. Karma scores delegates on participation and forum activity and powers dashboards for Arbitrum, Optimism and others; Tally and Agora show delegate pages; Boardroom aggregates proposals. Delegate Desk is an incremental take built for the delegate's own day: one vote inbox, a rationale composer that publishes the moment the vote is cast, a feedback channel limited to verified delegators, and a public report card that also records changes of mind with the reason. Research verdict: exists, low novelty.

The data it runs on

Unlocked when your app is paid in full

1.The mission

Make a delegate's reasoning as public as their vote, and make the people they represent part of the conversation.

2.Why people can't resist it

Vote and reason together The vote button publishes the rationale in the same step, to the forum, IPFS and an EAS attestation. No more 'I will post my reasoning later'.

Hear your delegators Only wallets that delegate to you can write, each message shows its weight, and you can run a quick sentiment poll before a big vote.

Report card with changes of mind Participation, rationale rate, on time rate and every time you changed your vote, with the reason. Changing your mind is shown as a strength, not hidden.

4.Pricing

Cost per use: unlocked when your app is paid in full.

Solo Free

Two DAOs, vote inbox, rationale publishing and the public report card.

Delegate $15 per month

Up to ten DAOs, delegator feedback channel and polls, reminders, and report card exports for incentive programmes.

Council $60 per month

For delegate teams and organisations: shared drafts, a reviewer before publishing, several signers and a team report card.

5.Growth loop

Every published rationale links to the delegate's report card, and every report card has a 'delegate to me' link. Delegators who like what they see share the card. DAOs with incentive programmes point delegates to it because it makes rationale counting easy.

8.Where this is going

Now
A delegate's votes, reasons and delegators in one place, with a report card anyone can check.
Next
Delegate teams draft together, delegators get a digest of their delegate's votes, and DAOs read report cards straight into their incentive programmes.
Later
Delegators compare delegates by the reasons they give, not just by how often they vote, and move their delegation with that in mind.
The world it builds
Representation onchain becomes a two way relationship where reasoning is public and the represented are heard.

Why own Delegate Desk

Delegates carry other people's voice in DAOs worth billions, and most of them run it from a dozen browser tabs and a forum account. Owning Delegate Desk means you run the tool they open every morning: one inbox, a vote that publishes its reasoning in the same step, a channel to the people who delegated to them, and a report card they are proud to share. Karma and Tally already score delegates; this is the desk the delegate actually works at, and it links to them.

What’s stopping you?

“Karma and Tally already do this. Why would anyone switch?”

They score delegates from the outside, and they are good at it. Delegate Desk is the delegate's own workflow: drafting, voting with the reason attached, hearing delegators. Link to Karma scores rather than compete, and sell to delegates who feel the daily pain.

“I am not a governance expert.”

You do not need to be. The desk never tells anyone how to vote. Your job is to keep the inbox accurate, the publishing reliable and the report card honest. Talk to five delegates before you change anything.

“Delegates are a small market.”

It is a focused one: a few thousand active delegates, many paid through incentive programmes that already count rationales. A small number paying $15 to $60 a month is a real business, and delegate organisations pay more.

“What if a delegate uses it to spam forums or pressure people?”

Posting only happens under the delegate's own account after they vote, with no automated replies. Only real delegators can write in the feedback channel, with rate limits. Those rules are in the product, not just in the terms.
