Welcome to the platform. Just a heads-up—the application deadline for participation in the rally was August 25th (details here), so your profiles won’t be included in the UI presented list of delegates or other rally materials. However, this doesn’t prevent you from participating in the Delegate Incentivisation Program if you meet the criteria, and it certainly doesn’t block you from being a public delegate on the platform!
