My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: As one of the earliest supporters of the Optimism ecosystem, Kwenta’s is well positioned and incentivized to make decisions that fosters the growth and adoption of the Optimism protocol.

My view on the Optimistic Vision : Although Kwenta operates with a higher degree of utilitarian principles, we are a protocol pioneering true decentralization for a user-facing product; this unwavering dedication to decentralization is in complete alignment with the ultimate goal of the Optimistic Vision which is to empower users to control the tools they use.

My view on the first three articles of the Working Constitution:

This is a “working” constitution: As we navigate through a constantly changing world, it is important for our blockchain governance to be flexible and adaptable to reflect the evolving nature of human behavior and lifestyles. To achieve this, we must embrace innovation and continually seek out new ways to improve and refine our framework. OP Citizens and OP Holders will equally coexist within the Collective: In order to ensure the success of our governance model, it is essential that we align short-term incentives with long-term visions. We are excited to explore the potential of the bicameral model, as exemplified by Sparta, through the experimentation of OP Governance and OP citizenship. By balancing the needs of the present with a clear understanding of our ultimate goals, we can make informed decisions that move us towards a brighter future. The Optimism Foundation will be a steward of the Optimism Collective and its early governance model: We believe in progressive decentralization and welcome the OP Foundation as early leaders in the OP Collectives governance model.
