Welcome back to the Tally newsletter, your monthly source for DAO governance insights in the Tally ecosystem. It’s only the first week of February and we’re already off to a very busy 2025. We can't wait to share all the exciting updates with you, so grab your favorite treat and let's dive into what's been happening so far this year at Tally!
✦ Major Protocol Launches
First up, we're thrilled to announce that The Obol Collective has officially launched their governance token! If you're into proof-of-stake infrastructure (who isn't these days?), you'll want to check out their innovative approach to decentralized governance. We worked closely with their team to create a unique two-house governance system that's now live and running smoothly.
But wait, there's more! Adventure Gold (AGLD) has also joined the Tally family with their governance launch. For those who haven't been following AGLD, they're doing some incredible things in the gaming and NFT space, and now their community has a robust governance system to match their ambitions.

✦ New Chain Integrations
The Tally ecosystem just got a whole lot bigger with these game-changing chain additions:
Flow Chain
Remember when everyone said Flow was just for NFTs? Well, they're proving to be so much more, and we're here for it! Flow is now fully integrated into the Tally platform, bringing their unique take on blockchain architecture to our governance toolkit.
Viction Chain
Speaking of exciting integrations, Viction Chain has joined our ecosystem! This brings another powerful option for DAOs looking to leverage their unique features for governance.
✦ Webinar: How to Successfully Launch a Token
Did you miss our latest webinar? Tally CEO and Co-founder, Dennison Bertram shared invaluable insights on what makes a token launch successful, drawing from extensive experience working with the leading protocols in crypto. From governance structure design to community engagement strategies, the session was packed with practical tips and real-world examples. Don't worry if you couldn't make it – we’ve got the live recording right here so you can catch all the golden nuggets of wisdom at your own pace.
✦ ARB Staker Audit Complete
We're excited to share @sherlockdefi's security audit of Tally's Governance Staking System: Staker is complete. As the backbone of protocol governance managing over $60 billion in assets, we understand that security isn't just a feature – it's fundamental. We're excited to share the results of our recent Staker system security audit, which affirms the robustness of our implementation.
The comprehensive audit, conducted by an expert team including renowned security specialists @cergyk1337, @0xSpearmint, and @jokrsec, thoroughly examined our Staker system's architecture and codebase. Their findings confirm what we've always strived for: a secure, reliable foundation for protocol governance.
Our engineering team has meticulously reviewed and addressed all identified issues, most of which were low-level optimizations and documentation improvements. For complete transparency, we've documented our reasoning and solutions for each finding, with corresponding pull requests available for review. This attention to detail, even for minor improvements, reflects our commitment to maintaining the highest security standards in the industry.
The successful audit outcome reinforces our position as the trusted partner for protocol governance. However, we view this not as a destination but as another step in our ongoing journey to enhance and fortify our platform. We remain dedicated to continuous improvement and rigorous security practices as we develop new features and systems for the ecosystem's most crucial protocols.
For those interested in the technical details, we encourage you to review the complete audit report, available on our GitHub repository. Your trust drives us to maintain the highest standards of security and transparency in everything we do.
✦ Looking Ahead
We're just getting started! Our team is already working on some exciting features that we can't wait to share with you. Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, we'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback.
