DelegateKit is a powerful tool designed to enhance Optimism governance participation by leveraging the Farcaster Social Graph. Our mission is to position Farcaster as the hub of DAO participation, offering a seamless and accessible governance experience across the Superchain ecosystem.

DelegateKit is funded by a grant from the Optimism Governance

• Delegate Frames: Campaign for delegations by sharing interactive frames with dynamic information based on your participation history in the DAO.
• Proposal Frames: Bring the homepage of the DAO to the social layer of Farcaster by posting interactive proposal frames and vote directly without leaving Farcaster or spending gas.
• Delegate Messaging Frame: Poll your constituents for feedback and receive kudos for your contributions.

To get started with DelegateKit, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/withtally/delegatekit.git
   

2. Install the necessary dependencies:

   cd DelegateKit/apps/next
   npm install
   

3. Set up your environment variables:

   • Create a .env file with cp .env.example .env
   • Add the required environment variables (e.g., API keys, contract addresses).

4. Start ngrok proxy

ngrok http 3000

5. Copy ngrok url to .env value "NEXT_PUBLIC_HOST"

6. Start the NextJS app:

   npm run dev
   

7. Access the DelegateKit frontend by opening http://localhost:3000 in your web browser.

TBD: DelegateKit is built with builder support in mind. We provide an open API that allows third parties to generate and integrate Farcaster Frames directly into their own applications. This enables a greater number of builders to start working with Farcaster and the OP Governance ecosystem.
