Thanks for your interest in becoming a Hop governance delegate and helping shape the multichain future!
If you have any questions about the process feel free to hop in the Hop discord and ask.
Important Note: You only need to submit yourself as a delegate if you want to appear in the list of delegates shown when Hop users claim their tokens. You do not need to submit a delegate profile if you only want to claim your airdrop, or if you only intend to delegate your voting power to yourself!
The cutoff date for applications is June 7th at 23:59:59 UTC. If you submit your application after this date, users will still be able to delegate their votes to you manually but your profile wonât show up in the default delegate list.
Delegates are not awarded extra tokens for being delegates.
It is encouraged to set-up an on-chain profile with ENS as part of the application process as this worked well for other DAOs and it makes it easy for Hop users to look-up relevant information about each delegate.
Step 1: Reply to this forum thread using the following template:

Step 2: Add the following text records to your ENS name:
Go to app.ens.domains , search for your name, ensure you have an ETH Address record set, and then set the following text records by clicking âADD/EDIT RECORDâ:
- âavatarâ: an image URL (do NOT put OpenSea, Twitter, imgur URL or anything that is NOT an
image url) or an NFT you own - âcom.twitterâ: your Twitter handle (optional)
- âcom.discordâ: your Discord handle (optional)
- Any other field that you want! Email, URL, description, etc, anything to share about yourself with the Hop community (optional)
Once all records are entered, scroll down and click âConfirmâ to save it to the blockchain.
Step 3: Set your Primary ENS Name
Make sure you have set your Primary ENS Name (formerly Reverse Record) to the ENS name you posted on the forum. Do this at app.ens.domains > My Account.
âŚand youâre done!
Thatâs it! Youâre all set to become a Hop delegate. Start publicizing your delegation to get support from the community.
Good luck for your campaign!
