Hi, I’m Daniel / DZack23. I’m an independent engineer, writer, and researcher, and 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 of Arbitrum’s smart contract components, including the core protocol contracts, the token bridge, and the cross-chain governance system. 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. Delegating to me ensures that your votes will be in the capable, steady hands of someone with wide and deep understanding of how Arbitrum functions, who will always nudge the community in the directions of transparency, decentralization, and security, and who has a vested interest in seeing Arbitrum succeed.
Will probably usually post voting rationale on the appropriate thread and link back to it in this thread; may sometimes add more additional info here where useful.
Getting this thread up to date in this post:
ArbOS Version 50 Dia:
Voted FOR; keeps Arbitrum Equivalent with Ethereum changes, uncontroversial. Verified state changes with seatbelt before voting.
Raise the gas target, min L2 base fee, & implement improvements to the pricing algorithm
Voting For after getting rationale for ability to lower adjustment window:
Security Council Election Process Improvements
Voting For, in favor of all proposed changes, tho in need of clarificaiton on planned cadence w/r/t March election (since skipping it may actually impose additional overhead if current members are planning on leaving, requiring a de facto election anyway)
Rewarding Active Delegates (RAD) Program
Voting For; some comments and suggestions, tho generally understood that this is only the first step (and a good one)
AGV - 2026 Council Elections
John Kennedy / Tim Chang AVG Council Reconfirmations
Voted Abstain both as I couldn’t get enough context / information to make an informed vote within the timeframe.
