It is safe to delegate. The StarkNet Token contract implements standard delegate
and delegateBySig
functions from the Compound delegation module. These functions are standard and do not transfer tokens, they only delegate the voting power.
Who are able to make proposals? What will happen when community rejects council’s proposals?
it is totally true, if you want someone represents your interests you are able to delegate him/her your tokens. If you trust the delegated person, you can do it without any doubt
will be sessions of the Builder Council public or private?
I dont get how to participate in governance
It is neede to hold The StarkNet token, but it is not distributed yet, so as i understand, token distribution will be firstly and after that we can participate in governance module
As explained in the Medium post, only the Foundation itself is able to propose topics for now. These topics, during the First Phase of Governance will only be about protocol upgrades.
Should the community decide not to go forward with a protocol upgrade, it will not be implemented on StarkNet Mainnet.
We’ll hold meetings, record them, post them here and on the dedicated Github repo. Finishing out the final details soon.
Delegates, token holders and members of the Builder’s Council can participate in governance at the moment. When the StarkNet network decentralizes its consensus the StarkNet token will flow and anyone will be able to get tokens and vote.
Good job Starknet, good luck team and devs
The article says that the first vote will take place in the coming weeks. Is there a more exact date yet?
Is it online governance or offline governance?
I think this is what you are looking for ser:
Governance is based on voting using the StarkNet token. Voting is done “Off-chain signal vote (Via Snapshot)”.

At the moment no, more to come in the next weeks.
Hello sir.
Your reply here says Starknet token is locked for a year, so it is safe to say that the token and announcement for full decentralization will be 4th Qtr of 2023?
Decentralization as in “when will anyone be able to participate in consensus and block-building” is still being worked on, recommend reading this: Starknet Decentralization Day Summary
i opened delegate.starknet.io and saw some amount number of delegate (near 9k). But only a little amount of delegate have have token STARK and only they have voted on Snapshot. You have a strategy for decentralization and governance DAO, but it is not being implemented. It is big issue for Starknet, its development and all community
Very much looking forward to the governance of the committee
Are there any recordings available?
We haven’t published them but wrote down a report on the v0.11 vote: [Proposal] Starknet Alpha v0.11.0 - #39 by s0lness
