Delegate Statement

I co-founded Layer2DAO because I knew that the future of the Ethereum network relies on the success of layer 2 solutions. But, like so many others, I felt frustrated by the slow adoption of these projects. In being a delegate I see another hands-on opportunity to grow the success of the ecosystem—in this case by helping guide Optimism protocol decisions. As the founder and owner of several technology businesses I understand the importance of having a strong advisory board, which I would consider myself part of for Optimism. One of my businesses is also a PoS validator operator, so I am already familiar with the responsibility of being delegated tokens and voting responsibly on behalf of my delegators.

My view on the Optimistic Vision: I believe the invention of blockchain technology and web3 will be one of the most important milestones in human technological progress. But only if the citizens of our young and fragile community can steer the technology into the right direction and keep it ahead of profit-driven corporations and bad actors. The Optimistic Vision lays out one such approach, and I would be honored to help guide the Optimism community into the right direction.

My view on the first three articles of the Working Constitution: As someone already working to transform a relatively new DAO with 5,000 members into a truly decentralized organization, I am well aware of the need to iterate collective governance. It takes a steady hand at the steering wheel until the organization has learned to steer itself, and the Optimism Foundation’s role and leadership is critical until true decentralization is reached.

My skills and areas of expertise:

DeFi investor and rehabilitated degen

Founder of a software business that also does dApp and Solidity development

Co-founder of a web3 infrastructure provider, operating proof-of-stake validators for several blockchains and already serving as delegatee for thousand of users

Co-founder of Layer2DAO, an organization focused on driving adoption of the L2 ecosystem and investing in promising projects

My favorite Web3 projects: Layer2DAO, Convex, MOBIX
