Day in the life of a professional delegate
summary
Quick rise from newcomer to leading a Stablelab governance team that manages delegated voting across ~15–20 DAOs including Aave and Maker, running 20–30 votes a week with a 4–5 person analyst team. Daily work is tracking Snapshot ballots, researching proposals, coordinating with core teams and grants committees, using Snapshot and June Analytics and manual tracking. Voter turnout often sits <10% (Compound <5%), compensation is rare (Optimism exception), and delegates also draft proposals and reshape governance processes.
