## Description

Delegation. So hot right now. But… what does it all mean? In this panel, moderated by MakerDAO’s Payton Rose, we’ll explore what it takes to be a Recognized Delegate for a DAO and share some hard-learned lessons for protocols considering a delegation system of their own.

While the line up will feature some heavy hitters from Maker’s Recognized Delegate program, we’ll also be exploring delegation at other protocols by joining forces with Governance nerds across the space. Wherever you’re a prospective delegate, industry OG, or simply Gov-curious, you won’t want to miss this deep dive into governance under the hood.

Frank Cruz
Recognized Delegate
MakerDAO
Originally born in El Progreso, Honduras and now fully dedicated to the DeFi Ecosystem, Frank Cruz has been a dedicated MakerDAO community member since the crypto winter of 2018. Since then he has evolved within the framework of the MakerDAO community as a Recognized Governance Delegate on-behalf of MKR token owners and the greater community. Through the ups and downs of DeFi, Francisco has never given up on the dream of gradual decentralization of DAOs via Scientific Governance and innovative thinking. He is now truly committed to seeing MakerDAO's Endgame Plan come into fruition by committing to the frameworks and the state of mind of the Decentralized Voter Committees.
