Please share your stance on overall goals for the DAO:
-
Arbitrum DAO is one of the few to move past governance theater and enable genuine permissionless contributions from strangers on the internet. I am personally an example, coming out of nowhere to shepherd the 35 million ARB STEP proposal to grow the RWA ecosystem on Arbitrum while diversifying 1% of our treasury. Before anything else, I would strive for us to maintain this ethos.
-
I am an investigative reporter by background, and my personal values are speaking truth to power and giving a voice to the voiceless. These beliefs serve me well as a delegate in giving impartial reviews on proposals, empathizing with ARB stakeholders who are not active in governance and voting freely without favors or influence.
-
My focus for Arbitrum DAO currently is how we can enable ecosystem growth via treasury diversification. My conversations with protocols building on Arbitrum lead me to believe that the best teams do not want grants, so much as the DAO to be a customer or participant in their ecosystem. The STEP proposal and token swaps are examples of how we can be sustainable and smart in the way we do ecosystem support.
