Participating in Token House governance can require a serious time commitment. For this reason, people are able to delegate their OP to community members who have explicitly volunteered to play an active role in Token House governance.

Being a delegate is an important job that comes with a lot of responsibility. Therefore, before deciding to become a delegate, you should be familiar with:

• The Working Constitution (opens new window).
• The Operating Manual (opens new window).
• The Delegate Code of Conduct (opens new window)

# Ready to be a delegate?

This is the process to become a delegate:

# Step 1: Commit

• Read the delegate responsibilities on the forum (opens new window) and make sure you understand the responsibilities.

# Step 2: Set up your profile

• Register to be a delegate on the Optimism Governance Portal (Optimism Agora) (opens new window) following the delegate commitment form (opens new window).
• It is not required, but you probably also want to delegate your OP tokens' voting power to yourself (opens new window). Please note that the expectation is that token grants will not be self-delegated to grant recipients.
