Initiative description
As outlined in the SEP #16 proposal, there are limitations in delegating voting power on Snapshot. The Split Delegation feature offers several advantages, including:
Delegating to multiple participants simultaneously.
Transitivity of delegated voting power.
Delegation term limits.
At Goverland, we aim to enhance this functionality by enabling delegation on mobile and increasing transparency in delegate performance. Goverland app users will be able to configure flexible notifications about their delegates’ voting participation and receive alerts about events such as:
How delegates vote on proposals.
If delegates ignore certain proposals.
If delegates create new proposals.
The outcome of this work will be increased participation of SAFE token holders in governance and improved awareness of SafeDAO updates.
Current status
We have successfully implemented DAO updates and voting functionalities within the Goverland App. Additional work is required to introduce convenient delegation features and enhance transparency and accountability of delegate activities.
Risks
With the Split Delegation feature expected to be available on Snapshot soon (the PR is open and should be integrated in the coming weeks), we do not anticipate any significant technical risks in integrating it into the Goverland App.

This task will be handled by one designer and two engineers from the Goverland team.
Additional support/resources
The Goverland team is in contact with Gnosis Guild and Snapshot teams to ensure a smooth and high-quality integration of the Split Delegation feature. No additional support is required.
Hi @sche - while I think having additional insights into Governance participation, I don’t think moving that to a separate iOS app. I believe the outcome would be better if a proposal integrates into the existing SAFE mobile app and improves that.
Hey @LuukDAO ,
Thank you for your comment. Just to clarify, the Goverland App already exists. By integrating a split delegation feature specific to SafeDAO, we can make SafeDAO governance more accessible and convenient. It would be nice to have delegation as part of the Safe mobile app, but do you think it makes more sense to limit delegation to Safe App users using mobile only?
My argument is more related to Delegate usage of Goverland App (which I don’t think they use currently) vs the Safe Mobile app (which I assume most have downloaded and use at least monthly). From that perspective I don’t think moving them to an additional app would create the UX benefits we look for.
I truly think that re-scoping this to make improvement to the Safe Mobile app would have higher ROI
Thank you for your feedback, @LuukDAO.
The target audience for this feature is Safe token holders, not delegates. This integration makes it easier for Safe token holders to (re)delegate their voting power and follow delegates’ participation, which helps keep them more accountable. Delegates can also use Goverand to vote in SafeDAO (which is already available), but this specific feature would bring them value only if they decide to transfer their voting power to another delegate. I understand your point about the Safe App, and I believe the Safe team will eventually implement such integration. For better accessibility, we need integrations in different places that benefit SafeDAO users.
Would you also implement that delegates can redelegate?Some token holders delegate for opsec reasons to a delegation EOA and would then partially delegate from there.
