This article was originally published on Medium on August 17th 2021. It has been republished here with minor updates for clarity.Tally is excited to support Open Zeppelin’s Governor framework! If your protocol uses or is planning to use this framework, here’s how you can easily be listed on the Tally site:1. Deploy your Open Zeppelin Governance contracts.You can learn more about the deployment process in the Open Zeppelin documentation here. If you have additional questions about the contracts or deployment process, feel free to discuss in the Open Zeppelin forum.2. Fill out our project onboarding form here.We’ll ask for basic details like the protocol name, token ticker, logos, and the addresses for your deployed token and governor contracts.3. Get in touch with us in our Discord to check on the status of your request or ask any other questions.Generally, it takes around 3 business days to onboard a new protocol to Tally. In some cases it can take longer, depending on the length of time your token has been live and certain other factors. We’ll get in touch once your governance is ready to be added to the Tally site.4. Share your new governance page with the community and encourage voter participation.After your project is listed, we can help with public announcements, co-branded media assets, addition to our governance wiki, and tailoring our user documentation to serve the needs of your community. Here’s an example of some of our content from onboarding Rari Capital DAO. Token holders must set up delegation (to themselves or another address) to be counted in on chain votes, so you should plan to inform your community and rally them to get involved. The governance launch period is a great time to do this, as you’ll naturally have peoples’ attention and better engagement with your call to action. And that’s it — we’ll try to make the onboarding process as simple as possible so you can focus on advancing your core protocol!t
