Lyra Council Voting

Marking a significant shift in Lyra Governance, the first LYRA token vote is now available on Snapshot. Lyra utilizes a delegative governance structure, where a council of 5 representative council members vote to make decisions on behalf of the DAO and administrate LEAPs on behalf of LYRA holders.

The current council, known as the ‘Lyra Launch Council’ was elected through a vetted internal voting process by active community members in mid-2021. You can read more about the council structure here. A recently approved governance proposal, LEAP-15, outlines a more robust scope for the Lyra Council, and includes more details such as responsibilities, remuneration and expected output. A breakdown of the council election and transition process can be viewed below:

Throughout 2021, we were taken aback by the enthusiasm of key community members in Lyra governance forums. This participation continued over into the council nomination process, with a total of 12 eligible nominations from the Team and Lyra community. Voting will remain open for three days until 00:00 UTC February 1. To view the nominations, head to the #council-nominations channel in the Lyra Discord here.
