Overview
Tempo DReps is a directory that helps ADA holders find and compare DReps (Delegated Representatives), the people and groups who vote on Cardano governance decisions for everyone who delegates to them1. Visitors can rank DReps by delegators or voting power (the ADA delegated to them), search by name2, open a profile to see how each one has voted, and delegate from a connected wallet3.
The page is part of Tempo, a Cardano governance site whose stated mission is helping ADA holders "easily find suitable DReps and understand the impact of each Governance Action before delegating"4. On Cardano, any ADA holder can register as a DRep or hand their voting rights to one, much like choosing a stake pool5. Tempo says its data comes straight from the blockchain, with no outside data provider in between4.
Key Features
- Four ways to rank DReps. Leaderboard tabs sort DReps by number of delegators, by voting power (the ADA delegated to them), by how many large holders with 1 million ADA or more back them, and by how much their voting power changed from one epoch, a roughly five-day period, to the next3.
- Search past the leaderboard. A search box finds a DRep by name or by its on-chain ID, the long code that starts with drep1, so smaller DReps outside the top rankings are still easy to reach2.
- Voting records on each profile. A DRep profile shows voting power, delegator count, share of total voting power, and the percentage of governance votes the DRep took part in, plus a paged history of each past vote6.
- The DRep's own pitch. Profiles carry each DRep's statement, split into objectives, motivations, qualifications and references, so delegators can set stated goals beside the actual voting record6.
- Delegation from the profile page. A Delegate button builds the delegation transaction automatically; the holder signs it in their own wallet, and voting power moves to the chosen DRep once the network confirms it3.
What to Expect
ADA holders choosing a DRep land on a ranked table with columns for delegators, active voting power and influence, meaning each DRep's share of total voting power2. Clicking a name opens the profile, where the voting history lists each vote with its governance action type, the epoch in which it was cast and the choice made6.
Delegating needs a browser wallet that supports CIP-30 and CIP-95, the standards that let a wallet connect to websites and sign governance transactions; the user guide names Eternl, Lace, Yoroi, Flint, NuFi and GeroWallet3. The only cost is a small Cardano network fee, not a Tempo charge, and holders can switch to another DRep later3. Tempo says the private key never leaves the wallet: the site builds the transaction and the wallet signs it4.
People who want to become a DRep can start registration from the same section, using a wallet that supports CIP-95 such as Eternl, Lace or Yoroi7. Cardano's GovTool documentation lists Tempo among community governance tools, noting that it gives ADA holders insight into DRep voting behavior through their profiles8.
