Transparent ICE Delegate Selection System
Aquarius governance proposal introducing a transparent, merit-based delegate selection system for ICE liquidity vote delegation. Establishes objective eligibility criteria (ICE holdings, liquidity provision history, governance participation), public applications, and community voting to replace the current opaque process and ensure fairness.
The proposal addresses concerns about opacity in current delegate selection, which has lacked publicly defined criteria. Under the new system, delegates must meet objective criteria: minimum 1M ICE holdings, six months of liquidity provision ($1K+), participation in five governance votes or two proposals, and twelve months of community membership. Applicants submit wallet addresses and statements via a public portal. The community votes on candidates using ICE tokens; the top five become delegates. Delegates must file quarterly reports and can be removed for failing responsibilities or engaging in manipulation. Implementation spans four phases over approximately three months: approval, development, testing, and launch.
