MIP77: Delegates in the Maker Protocol
A brief summary of this proposal has been provided by the MIP Author and is shown below:
"MIP77 provides a base definition of the role of delegates within the Maker Protocol. In addition, it delineates the key distinctions between a Shadow Delegate and a Recognized Delegate. MIP77 outlines how any individual or group may become a Recognized Delegate and the metrics used to monitor Recognized Delegates. MIP77 acts as a foundation for further iteration on the role of Recognized Delegates as the Maker Protocol matures."
