Hey! Philip is here.

I am opening this topic cause I believe we should start to pay more attention to the decentralization of voting power. Today we have less than 170 active delegates with 1.14k delegates profiles. It’s less that 15% of the total number of profiles. IMO this number should increase to at least 50% by the end of current year.

I am not saying that everybody in the list: [https://delegate.starknet.io/](https://delegate.starknet.io/) is relevant to vote but I am certain that we have much more active and passionate contributors around the globe.

So what can we do to improve decentralization of voting power?

- review one more time delegates profiles
- announce to the community (via discords of dapps/projects on the ecosystem) that we’re looking for delegates
- wait one moth and then pick up the best profiles

## I am saying it’s only way but IMO these are possible steps. I’ll be super thankful for each comment/reply and ideas.

Hello friend. That’s a good topic that you raised. But here’s the thing.  
in the [Delegate Onboarding announcement](https://community.starknet.io/t/delegate-onboarding-announcement/4047) topic, one Starkian already picked this up.

**He proposed to change the distribution system** , because ordinary members of the community still can not participate in the voting

Regarding this [topic](https://community.starknet.io/t/starknet-foundation-delegation-for-the-first-vote/11820) WE have to:

1. Submit your delegate profile on this website:[Delegate Profile Thread](https://community.starknet.io/t/delegate-profile-thread/4049)
2. Delegate profile will be updated on this website: [https://delegate.starknet.io/](https://delegate.starknet.io/) later, Token holders will delegating you voting powers based on your profile
3. When you have the voting powers , you can vote on this website:[Snapshot](https://snapshot.org/#/starknet.eth)

But it doesn’t work & here are some points that will make sense 👇

I have gotten 0 voting power this month  
Many people in Starknet community know me, I work and help more than in 5 projects on Starknet ecosystem _(ZKX, JediSwap, SithSwap, myBraavos and StarknetID)_ 🚀  
But these token holders simply don’t care to spend their time on sharing tokens based on user profiles 🤷

I know this system already and I see similar issues. Thanks for pointing out!
