The new “Meet the Delegates'' series by the governance ambassadors helps the dYdX community to get to know their delegates! We have Vitalii for this episode, who is an Endorsed Delegate for the dYdX community!
In addition to this blog, Vitalii has kindly prepared a presentation with his introduction and details.
What is delegation?
As the dYdX protocol moves towards full decentralization (read the V4 announcement here and the announcement of the dYdX Chain here), delegates are needed to help ensure community-led growth, development, and the self-sustainability of the dYdX protocol.
Delegation provides an opportunity for more community members to get involved with governance, and when you delegate the voting power of your tokens, you retain 100% ownership of the token itself. There are no changes to the way you use or hold the token. You can choose anyone who you believe will participate in dYdX governance and can represent what you want this ecosystem to become.
Currently, $DYDX and stk$DYDX holders have control over market listings, capital allocations to market makers, allocation of the community treasury, and much more (see the full list of governance parameters here). Community-controlled governance parameters will increase in the future, and competent delegates are essential to push the dYdX protocol forward.
If you hold DYDX and/or stkDYDX but have no time to review proposals, or you don't have enough information about potential delegates, consider delegating the proposing power and/or voting power of your tokens to an Endorsed Delegate to support decentralization and better decision-making on the dYdX protocol. You can review the Endorsed Delegate's profiles and pitches here and delegate voting power and prosing power here.
In the third episode of this series, Vitalii presents a background of himself and how he can contribute to the dYdX community.

Quotes from Vitalii's endorsed delegate profile:
'At the beginning of 2022, I found out about the dYdX project and from that moment I have been in love with it. I see great potential in the project, a great future and I want to help the project gain global market leadership.
