The different roles in PoolTogether governance are defined as follows:
Token Holders
POOL token holders govern the PoolTogether protocol. They have the ability to vote on governance proposals or delegate their votes.
PoolTogether governance exists on the Ethereum blockchain and is not limited to the interface. There are many different interfaces you can use to view governance proposals and vote.
Governance Delegates
Delegates are community members who volunteer to play an active role in PoolTogether protocol governance. Everyone can volunteer to be a governance delegate. Nonetheless, you don’t have to be a governance delegate to be able to vote on proposals.
You can read through the Delegate Proposals . Please feel encouraged to post your own delegate proposal.
Contributors
A contributor is anyone who provides value to the PoolTogether protocol and its community. Anyone can contribute to the PoolTogether protocol without asking for permission. It needs no token or say in governance to contribute.
