Linking to DReps, governance actions, and votes

Last updated 2026-08-02

Pages on DRepTalk have readable URLs, but you never need to know them to link somewhere. Wherever you have an on-chain id, from a wallet, an explorer, or a document, you can build a DRepTalk link from it directly and the site resolves it for you. That makes DRepTalk easy to reference from forum posts, tweets, rationale documents, or anywhere else ids circulate.

Governance actions

Append any governance action id to dreptalk.com/ga/:

DRepTalk looks the id up and redirects to the action’s page. If the id does not match an action on the current network, you land on search with the id prefilled instead of an error page.

DReps

Append a DRep ID to dreptalk.com/dreps/:

Every registered DRep has a profile at that address, whether or not they have ever used DRepTalk. DReps with a display name get a friendlier profile URL, and the id form then redirects permanently to it, so an id link never goes stale. You can copy a DRep ID from any wallet, from an explorer, or with the copy button on the profile itself.

Individual votes

Sometimes you want to point at one specific vote rather than a whole action. On an action’s Votes tab, every row has a copy-link button that gives you a direct link to that vote. For votes with a rationale, the link leads to the vote’s own page showing the vote, the full rationale, and the on-chain reference, and it renders a rich preview card when shared on social platforms and in messengers.

DReps sharing their own votes: this is the best link to circulate when you explain a decision, since readers see your reasoning first and can delegate from the same page. More in Promoting your DRep.

Ids inside posts

The resolver also works in the other direction. When you paste a gov_action1… id into a post or a vote rationale on DRepTalk, it is rendered as a compact linked chip with a copy button, pointing at the action’s page. You do not need to build a link by hand; the raw id is enough.

Sharing previews

DRepTalk pages render rich preview cards when links are shared: governance actions, DRep profiles, and individual votes each carry their own card with the key facts. A pasted link in a chat or on social media shows what it points to before anyone clicks.

Frequently asked questions

Put the action’s id after dreptalk.com/ga/. The bech32 gov_action1… form and the explorer hex forms both resolve and redirect.

Use dreptalk.com/dreps/ plus the drep1… id. If the DRep has a named profile URL, the link redirects there automatically.

What if the id is not on DRepTalk?

You are redirected to search with the id prefilled. Ids from the other network (mainnet vs preprod) will not resolve, since each deployment serves one network.

Yes: use the copy-link button on the Votes tab, or share the vote’s own page when it has a rationale.
