Wow! Truly impressed by everyone who stepped up for the OAT elections! Every single person here is qualified and would do a good job, it was a really hard to choose how to vote…
To make my vote count as much as possible, I’ve distributed it between the three candidates who I believe would be the best trio. They bring complementary stakeholder insights to the table, representing the most critical voices in Arbitrum. My only worry is that they all have a lot on their plates, but I trust they can hire assistants or something so that their oversight can be impactful, without them having to sacrifice too much from their other responsibilities.
Cupofjoe 70% – A true builder shipping non stop. Joe understands the problems builders face because he has been in the trenches with tooling, funding, and coordination challenges. Having this perspective will reflect what builders on the ground really need.
AJ 15% – Best rep for OCL interests. AJ really gets the DAO operations at a practical level. He is my go to person for understanding OCL’s perspective. have shown to take good care of his duties while staying connected to what the ecosystem actually needs.
Patrick 15% – Patrick brings that irreplaceable perspective that only comes from seeing the ecosystem through all its phases. He represent the foundation’s viewpoint while staying connected to the community - exactly the balance we need to keep Arbitrum’s vision on track.
I gave Joe more than AJ and Patrick because I assume the other 2 are for sure going to get in anyway, and only the third slot is under contention (my assumption). Joe is more of a long shot, so I gave him a big bump.
Also, I want to say, Frisson has been an incredibly valuable delegate and would do a fantastic job on the committee. It was really hard not to vote for him. It was hard to decide between him and Joe, but Joe just slightly edged him out, so I pushed all in there.
