Delegate Statement

The top 12 delegates hold >51% of the voting power! Support small delegates by delegating to me! šŸ˜Š

The top delegates are overweighted on people with a large following rather than people who are most capable and dedicated to the optimistic vision. Governance needs to be more decentralised, for the good of Optimism!

Why you should delegate to me:

  • I am highly qualified. I am a crypto native (since 2014), and am the founder of Brighton Blockchain, a local community meetup group. It's one of the most active and successful groups in the UK outside of London. I have a wealth of knowledge and experience that I'm keen to put to good use.
  • I am highly engaged. I have a great voting record since I started participating, with explanations of each vote for maximum transparency.
  • I am aligned with the optimistic vision. I even gave a talk on public goods funding in April 2022!
  • I am an independent voice in Optimism governance. It is vitally important that Optimism doesn't have a small minority controlling decisions, or suffer from groupthink.

My view on the first 3 articles of the working constitution:

  • I strongly support principle #1 in the working constitution (experimentation), as the lessons learned are more valuable than the cost of learning.
  • I support #2 in the working constitution - a bicameral system is taking what worked for old governance systems and using that is a reasonable starting point - but experimentation is welcome.
  • I also support #3 in the working constitution (backing the core optimism team). I believe in supporting teams with a strong track record. This goes for grants and governance proposals too - I will back good teams wherever possible!

Public goods funding is the most important job of Layer 2s, and Optimism has the most credible claim to prioritising it. Optimism must succeed. LFG!

Developer Advisory Board Foundation Mission Team Elections

Abstain
Reason: It's really hard to choose between these candidates, because they're all great. I can't choose two. So I've voted for the one candidate that I'd be most upset if he wasn't elected.

Season 7: Chain Delegation Program Amendment

Reason: Voting for. I think it's right that the chain delegation program should only be open to chains satisfying the standard rollup charter criteria.

Decision Market Mission [Onchain]

Reason: I believe in experimentation. That being said, this is an expensive experiment, and I'd like to publicly record my pessimism on its success. Markets are only efficient at a large scale, when participants have matured over enough time to have redistributed capital to those who are best at allocating it. Small, young markets are easily manipulated and inefficient. But go ahead, prove me wrong, the potential reward is greater than the risk and this is the time to experiment.

Grants Council Mission [Onchain]

Reason: I'm a little hesitant, it seems like quite a big budget for what it is. The metrics arenā€™t necessarily what Iā€™d have chosen. But interoperability is important for the superchainā€™s network effects, which is the most important property of the superchain right now, so I wonā€™t oppose the risk.

Season 7: Anticapture Commission Amendment

Reason: A sensible extension to the anticapture commission, it seems reasonable to keep this going.

Season 7: Intent Ratification

Reason: I think interoperability on this level is necessary to strive for, although there are many other paths towards interoperability too. I would, however, like to see more focus on apps too; there should be more intents.
