For the consideration of the DAO,
I’m Daniel Goldman (DZack.eth / @DZack23). I’m former Senior Blockchain Engineer at Offchain Labs, where I worked full time for four years (2020-2024). At Offchain Labs, I led the design and implementation Arbitrum’s smart contract components, including the core protocol contracts, the token bridge, the cross-chain governance system, and, indeed, the contracts responsible for this very Security Council election. I also contributed to technical documentation, protocol design/research, web-dev, and client side tooling. I have, in short, spent a lot of time thinking about Arbitrum.
On top of my four years at Offchain Labs, I have an additional ~4 years working full time in the crypto space. I cofounded Abacus, a web3 consulting company, where I provided technical guidance about scaling infrastructure and security best-practices. I’ve also contributed to a number dapps and protocols in both the Ethereum and Bitcoin ecosystems, and written extensively about Blockchain tech, with a focus on layer 2 systems. I have ample personal experience with hardware wallets, gnosis safe multisigs, and operating node infrastructure, I take opec very seriously, and I rarely sleep.
Your consideration for this role is much appreciated, happy to answer any and all questions. Thanks!
