Clique as a delegate is dedicated to supporting the building of sustainable identity and reputation systems across ecosystems. We aim to bring our expertise in decentralized identity, cryptography, and game theory design to Optimism governance. One of our representatives, Kydo, is also actively participating in Uniswap governance and leading the grass-root effort on MMA (MultiMessageAggregation) for cross-chain governance message passing.

Our reasons for wanting to be a delegate: Clique was one of the first few protocols to launch on Optimism AttestationStation and has since then become a cornerstone for the Optimism identity ecosystem. As of today, we take up 90%+ of the overall attestations issued on ATST, and have consistently been one of the top 5 DAU apps.
Participation in OP governance establishes a substantial commitment to long-term cohesion between Clique and Optimism. Optimism is at the forefront of innovations around digital identity and on-chain reputation systems. Our involvement in governance is a determined effort to steer the Optimism protocol towards its envisioned objectives of building open, transparent, and composable on-chain identity systems.
Our view on the Optimistic Vision: The Optimistic Vision of creating a digital democratic governance system is fully embraced by us. Building public goods and making sure the actual impactful projects get rewarded properly aligns with our overall beliefs in cyberspace. In fact, one of the purposes of innovating around AttestationStation is to further enhance retroPGF with a robust identity system and supply the voting/delegation process with a dynamic parametrization based on real user identity and behavior data.
Our view on the first three articles of the Working Constitution:
Our skills and areas of expertise: We build identity oracles that allow users to prove arbitrary web2 private data to third parties by using cryptographic primitives like TEEs, ZKPs, and MPC. Anything cryptography-related is within our expertise. We are also experienced in designing decentralized identity systems, reputation systems, and data analytics layers.
Our favorite Web3 projects: Lattice, TLS Notary, Flashbots
