I’ll be gently using the collective expertise and huge experience of our community builders of all these projects in order to serve as a Domain Allocator.

  1. What would you like to see built on Arbitrum in your domain and what a good grant proposal looks like for you

I’d like Arbitrum to be not only an abstract technological solution but also a friendly community where members are friendly and supporting each other, where there are many possibilities of engagement and people are looking forward to participating in new events.

In order to achieve that I’d like to see applications that have clear value for Arbitrum and it’s members.

What I need to see in an application:

Alignment with core principles of Arbitrum ecosystem
Vibrant out-of-the-box ideas
Online and offline events
Inclusion for all and everyone
Big dreams and clear KPI
Education for different levels, including developers
Not only action but also celebration: community building must include great parties as well
Quality networking
Vision of how the idea is supporting the greater image of Arbitrum Ecosystem

  1. Time commitment

I’m comfortable being active 15 hours per week as a Domain Allocator. And if it’s necessary it could be more. I’m flexible.

  1. Declaration of Conflict of Interest

I don’t have any conflict of Interest as of now.

Thanks for reading my application. It would be my honor to become a Domain Allocator to serve the community.
