DAOplomats decided to split our vote equally among the following candidates:
- Frisson
- Jana Bertram
- Patrick McCorry
- A.J. Warner
Our top two choices were Jana Bertram (RARI Foundation) and Frisson (Tally). Having worked closely with both within and outside Arbitrum DAO, we are confident in their competence and ability to excel in this role. Beyond their qualifications, they have consistently demonstrated strong leadership and engagement within the ecosystem.
For our remaining two selections, we prioritized candidates we believe are most aligned with the DAO’s long-term vision: Patrick McCorry (Arbitrum Foundation) and A.J. Warner (Offchain Labs).
- Patrick McCorry has been deeply involved in the DAO since its inception and has an extensive history in the blockchain space. His track record, commitment to community-first decision-making, and ability to manage high-pressure situations—most notably during AIP-1—demonstrate his capability to drive meaningful improvements in DAO operations.
- A.J. Warner has played a pivotal role in shaping the Arbitrum ecosystem. His experience in fostering partnerships and driving ecosystem growth is invaluable. With a strong background in business development and a deep understanding of the community’s needs, we believe he is well-positioned to advance the DAO’s strategic initiatives.
In making these selections, we aimed to strike a balance between strong crisis management and effective execution, as we see these as top priorities for both OpCo and the broader Arbitrum community.
