Delegate Statement

Boiler Blockchain is Purdue University’s student-run blockchain organization. We have forty active members in our first semester on campus, and we’re rapidly growing as this exciting space comes to the forefront of technology.

We’re interested in pursuing the vision that has been laid out by the Optimism Foundation, and followed by the Optimism community. We have both the technical and human capital necessary to contribute to the Optimistic future: our dedicated research team publishes articles on ambitious blockchain projects like Helium and Radix DLT 1, and we currently manage a governance delegation from a16z for dYdX.

My view on the Optimistic Vision:

We see public goods funding, and more generally the manifestation of selfish incentives through human-controlled power structures, as the root issues which cause many of the symptoms seen in modern society. Blockchains and similar decentralized technologies enable the redirection of human incentives in a way that no technology has enabled in the past. We must capture this opportunity to reinvent society for the better, and ensure that the technology does not fall into use for evil.

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

The initial governance period will be highly dynamic. Progression towards a stable system is natural and necessary for long-term governance. We would like to see and/or contribute to a more fleshed-out definition of what “bedrock” constitution means, as we do not believe four years will be quite enough for a stable governance system to emerge. (This period covers only a single Bitcoin halving cycle: from a macro perspective, we cannot hope to capture all cyclical effects on society in just four years.)

We believe in progressive decentralization as the path forward in web3. We are hopeful that blockchains and similar technologies will lead to a fairer and more equitable system for all, and we are eager to contribute our efforts to that future.

My Web3 interests: DeFi, Economics, Governance, Identity, Social Impact

Languages I speak and write: English (en), Spanish (es), Chinese (zh), Hindi (hi)

My skills and areas of expertise: Smart contract & full-stack development, web3 content creation and curation, blockchain course instruction and consulting

My favorite Web3 projects: Bitcoin, Lightning, Ethereum, Starkware/ZKSync etc, DID
