  • Time Zone: SGT (GMT+8)

Professional Background:

  1. Current Occupation: Core team, Engineering Lead @ Jones
  2. Relevant Work/Educational Experience (Please list any relevant experience in governance, DAOs, and multi-sig operations): Working in SE for the past 10 years, I’ve been in the Jones core team since inception, leading engineering efforts and innovation. My main areas of expertise there are smart contract development and blockchain software architecture planning. I’m also an Arbitrum delegate with 2M+ votes at this time.

My multisig specific experience include:

  1. Jones multisig wallet ($5m+): Deploy and batch transactions for our multisig wallet to deploy new contracts and transfer of funds for rewards program.
  2. STIP Jones grant recipient ($2M+): Managed the disbursement and distribution of ARB rewards for STIP program, Distributed over 2M in ARB tokens for a 4 month period with bi-weekly audit reports
  3. STIP.B Jones grant recipient ($1M+): In charge of the upcoming STIP.B where I will be leading the efforts to distribute over 1M ARB tokens for the upcoming 3 months, producing bi-weekly audit reports.
  4. Isekai multisig wallet ($1m+): Deploy and batch transactions for multisig wallet to deploy new contracts and transfer of funds.
  5. I’m a signer on different treasury multisigs across smaller DeFi projects.
  6. I’ve been creating different kinds of scripts to process transactions and batch together payments, contract calls and more to then post on Gnosis Safe.

Technical Skills:

  1. List any technical skills that are relevant to multi-sig operation: I’ve used Gnosis Safe to set up normal transactions, transaction builder, batching of transactions, different applets and safe CLI. I’ve deployed multisigs on different chains at the same address by copying tx data.
  2. Experience with EVM that makes you well suited for this program (SAFE, Using a module, etc):
    I’ve had to create different off-chain scripts to pre-compute call data for gnosis safe to queue up more complex interactions. I’ve had to self-host a Safe app frontend when one of the app services was down. I’ve deployed contracts via Safe. Still have not played around too much with modules yet as it is still a bit of an experimental feature.

Conflict of Interest Declaration:

  1. Have you been involved in any projects or proposals funded by the DAO? I am part of the Jones team, which was funded by the DAO during STIP and STIP.b. I was also part of Isekai before it shut down, which received a grant.
  2. Do you have any interests that might be seen as a conflict of interest if you are selected as a multi-sig signer? None besides my work at Jones. I do sometimes advise different projects on their technical choices and the engineering side. If any conflict was to arise I will inform the program managers.

Motivation:

  1. Why are you interested in joining the MSS and what do you believe you can contribute to the MSS? Being an almost day-one builder on Arbitrum, I’m often looking at opportunities in which I can contribute back to the chain which allowed all the projects I worked on to thrive. I was happy to see this initiative go up for voting and discussions on the forum as it is something that is very much needed. I’m generally a chronically online individual, have deep technical skills and have used different multisigs as a power-user for the past 3y+. I’d love to contribute in this initiative.

Disclaimer

I am applying as an individual, and NOT as a member or a representative of L2BEAT’s governance team. While a lot of my relevant experience and a big part of my presence in Arbitrum’s governance are associated with my role as a governance representative for L2BEAT, the below application is submitted in my capacity as an individual contributor to the DAO. L2BEAT does not stand to benefit in a financial, or non-financial way by my tenure as a member of the MSS, should my application be accepted.

Prerequisite:

  • You must possess a hardware wallet capable of generating a fresh address specifically for this election.
  • This hardware wallet should be dedicated solely to activities related to the MSS, and not used for other applications.
  • Ensure the wallet is funded with sufficient ether to cover transaction fees on Arbitrum One. All fees will be refunded at the end of the MSS term.

Personal Information:

Full Name:
Anastassis Oikonomopoulos aka Sinkas

Applying as organization:
No

Contact Information (if applying as organization, please designate one point person):
t.me/Sinkas5 and oikonomopoulos.an@gmail.com

Country of Residence / Time Zone:
Greece (UTC +3)

Professional Background:

Current Occupation:

Governance Representative at L2BEAT (though I’m applying to MSS as an individual)

Relevant Work/Educational Experience (Please list any relevant experience in governance, DAOs, and multi-sig operations):

  1. I’ve been a contributor of MetaFactory DAO since early 2020, and a signer of its multisig since it was established in late 2020. At the peak of the 2021 bull market, the multisig has ±30,000,000 in AUM. Right now, it secures ±400,000.
  2. Since joining L2BEAT in July 2023, I’ve been working on governance full-time, participating on the day-to-day matters in various DAOs, including, of course, Arbitrum. Since January 2024, I’ve also been publishing a weekly ‘Governance Review’ covering governance related news.
  3. I’ve been the host of Arbitrum’s monthly ‘Open Governance Call’ for the past few months, and I’ve been helping maintain Arbitrum’s Governance Calendar.

Technical Skills:

List any technical skills that are relevant to multi-sig operation:

  1. While not a developer or a very technical person, I understand how multi-sig wallets operate, how to read transactions, and how to use the transaction builder if needed.
  2. A testament to my soft technical skills is the fact that my main wallet (sinkas.eth) has never been compromised despite using it regularly for the past 5.5 years.

Experience with EVM that makes you well suited for this program (SAFE, Using a module, etc):

  1. I am familiar and comfortable with using SAFE, and I have used on-chain spending management tools for teams (e.g. Parcel) in the past.
  2. I know and feel familiar with executing all the basic actions that the multisig could be required to execute, such as bridging to a different chain, providing liquidity, executing swaps, etc.

Conflict of Interest Declaration:

Have you been involved in any projects or proposals funded by the DAO? If yes, please specify.

I have not been involved in any project or proposal that has been funded by the DAO, and through which I have benefited financially as an individual contributor. (Disclaimer: L2BEAT receives delegate compensation, as well as a compensation for our role as DAO Advocate).

Do you have any interests that might be seen as a conflict of interest if you are selected as a multi-sig signer?

I do not currently have any personal conflict of interest if selected as a multi-sig signer (disclaimer: I am part of L2BEAT’s governance team, which is eligible for and receiving delegate compensation—that compensation, however, does not go to me personally). In the unlikely event that a COI arises in the future, I will abide by the rules set forth in the original proposal regarding conflict of interest.

Motivation:

Why are you interested in joining the MSS and what do you believe you can contribute to the MSS?

On the theoretical side, I agree with the core thesis of the proposal that multiple separately funded multisigs are redundant and add more operational friction and financial overhead than necessary. On a practical side, given my proximity to the DAO’s day-to-day activities, my connection to multiple stakeholders through my job, and my being terminally online, it makes perfect sense to join the MSS. I will be in a position to sign all necessary transactions in a timely manner, and I will always be up-to-date with what is happening in the DAO, both inside and outside the MSS.

  2. Time Zone: UTC+1

Professional Background:

  1. Current Occupation: Governance Services
  2. Relevant Work/Educational Experience (Please list any relevant experience in governance, DAOs, and multi-sig operations):

We are a professional governance-as-a-service organization, specializing in professional delegation, governance consulting, and advisory across multiple DAOs. Our team is in several multisigs which include but are not limited to:

  • 1inch DAO Operations Multisig
  • RARI Foundation Grants Council Multisig
  • BanklessDAO Core Multisig

Technical Skills:

  1. List any technical skills that are relevant to multi-sig operation:
  • We have experience managing multi-sigs, utilizing transaction builder, batching, queuing and signing multiple transactions, manually submitting governance proposals across different stacks, plus, we are always timely with signing transactions.
  1. Experience with EVM that makes you well suited for this program (SAFE, Using a module, etc):
  • Extensive experience using SAFE multi-sigs across multiple networks, deploying same address SAFEs on various chains, and Snapshot/Tally wallet interactions.

Conflict of Interest Declaration:

  1. Have you been involved in any projects or proposals funded by the DAO? If yes, please specify. No.
  2. Do you have any interests that might be seen as a conflict of interest if you are selected as a multi-sig signer? No.

Motivation:

  1. Why are you interested in joining the MSS and what do you believe you can contribute to the MSS?
  • Over the years, we have seen how wrong multisigs can be damaging for DAOs. From individuals carelessly signing transactions to a greater number of bad actors in one multisig resulting to embezzlement of DAO funds. It is for these reasons we are interested in joining the MSS as we believe the more good actors we have serving as a multisig, the better off a DAO is. This is a huge responsibility requiring utmost diligence and we are happy to raise our hands for the position.

  2. Relevant Work/Educational Experience (Please list any relevant experience in governance, DAOs, and multi-sig operations):
    - I started the first workstream in GitcoinDAO in 2021 - spun out the DAO operations workstream which included building out multisigs, payroll, and treasury management techniques with our team

    An answer to questions 1 & 2: I am a member of Thrive Protocol which is running the pluralist grants program. I don’t believe it is a conflict unless there is a question regarding the delivery of funds for my or my team’s grant - of which I could easily excuse myself.

I believe that Arbitrum is going to continue to be a leader spearheading the evolution of decentralized technology and governance. This role is very important to me.

Experienced multi-sig signers with strong, proven governance knowledge and ethics are critical to avoid capture. Additionally, I’m always one of the quickest signers on every multisig I’ve been on which include many over the past 4-5 years.

Personal Information:

  1. Full Name: Lindsey Winder

  1. Contact Information: lindsey@hedgey.finance
  2. Country of Residence / Time Zone: United States, EST

Professional Background:

  1. Current Occupation: CEO at Hedgey
  2. Relevant Work/Educational Experience: At Hedgey we’ve worked with Arbitrum for the STIP, STIP-Bridge, and LTIPP grants. I am a member on the current incentives multisig and work closely with other DAO members on creating, reviewing, and executing large transactions for the DAO.

Technical Skills:

  1. List any technical skills that are relevant to multi-sig operation:
  • Experience creating, reviewing, and executing Safe transactions
  • Implementing security and review practices with other multisig signers.
  • Reviewing Tenderly reports
  1. Experience with EVM that makes you well suited for this program (SAFE, Using a module, etc):
  • Frequent use of Safe, Safe apps, and creating custom Safe apps

Conflict of Interest Declaration:

  1. Have you been involved in any projects or proposals funded by the DAO?
  • Hedgey is used by the DAO to distribute grants for the STIP, STIP Bridge, and LTIPP grant distributions. I frequently create those transactions on the Safe. Hedgey itself has not been funded by these proposals.

Motivation:

  1. Why are you interested in joining the MSS and what do you believe you can contribute to the MSS? I’ve been a part of multiple multisig teams for Arbitrum and generally think can create a stronger framework for managing security around distributing and managing funds on behalf of the DAO. In addition to having more signers and a higher threshold to execute transactions (which this proposal will do,) we need to incorporate better wallet security management for signers, standardized public and nonpublic security procedures which the multisig adheres to, and implement a more robust system for managing, executing, and reporting on transactions we execute on behalf of the DAO. I’d like to contribute to all of the above.

  • I’ve been a long time supporter of Arbitrum as a network both as a user and researcher in the space. With the ability to directly assist on something as critical as the multi-sig signing process that determines large decisions made by the DAO, it would be a natural progression of taking greater action to support the network. The Block is broadly seen as one of the more trusted sources of information and resources in the space, and with the selection of us as an organization to be representatives, it would add greater legitimacy to an already well respected operation.
