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