Contact Information: pedro_breuer (Telegram)

Current Occupation: Legal Counsel & OAT Committee Member
-
Country of Residence / Time Zone: Buenos Aires, Argentina (UTC-3)
Applicant / Nominee Qualifications and Experience
- Identify one of the domains described within the Desired Qualifications section in the OpCo - Oversight and Transparency Committee (OAT) Application Process Overview forum post in which you have the most experience and describe that experience:
Strategy & Operations: - Crypto Law - Compliance. I am an attorney specializing in intellectual property at one of the leading firms in Argentina and Latin America in this field. Additionally, I have been involved in the Web3 industry for more than six years, giving me deep knowledge of the most relevant regulations affecting the space, including financial, corporate, and, of course, IP laws.
As a current OAT Member, optimizing operations and guiding strategic initiatives across cross-functional teams has been the core of the focus over the past year. Our efforts have centered on resolving operational friction, establishing robust working structures, and empowering the OpCo Team to execute effectively.
- Describe your network and reputation within the blockchain/technology industry. Have you previously represented a crypto brand and/or navigated DAO governance:
DAO Governance: Between 2021 and 2024, I was a core member of SEED Latam (formerly DeFi Latam), where I actively participated in various DAO governances and initiated my involvement in the Arbitrum ecosystem.
Arbitrum Delegate: Since July 2024, I have been actively contributing to the Arbitrum DAO as a dedicated delegate.
Oversight & Transparency Committee: Since May 2025, I’ve served as an OAT member alongside A.J. Warner, Patrick McCorry, Tyler Bench, and Gavin Wang.
Ethereum Argentina: I was part of the core team of Ethereum Argentina, organizing the largest Ethereum conference in the region, which connects local talent with global Web3 leadership. As a consequence, I have acted as an informal liaison for LATAM projects looking to work with Arbitrum, streamlining their connection to the appropriate teams at the Arbitrum Foundation and OCL.
- Detail your experience in advisory, governance, and/or oversight roles:
Prior to joining the OAT, I held various roles within the DAO, which you can review in my previous application. Those include active participation in several DAO programs, such as incentive programs and working groups.
Currently, in my role as an OAT member, I have been deeply involved in operationalizing the OpCo from the ground up. This includes setting up the legal structure, hiring the OpCo Team, designing and implementing our strategy alongside them, and managing budget approvals.
More broadly, over the past year, the Arbitrum DAO has undergone a structural evolution: from a governance body driven by delegates into a network of Arbitrum Aligned Entities. By virtue of its composition, members with diverse professional backgrounds and deep roots across the Arbitrum DAO’s stakeholder base, the OAT has operated as a multidisciplinary and cross-functional body. Sitting at the intersection of delegates and AAEs, the OAT has been a point of convergence, providing strategic and operational support where needed.
- Have you previously contributed to the Arbitrum DAO? Describe any relevant experiences through which you’ve gained an understanding of the DAO’s current structure, contributors, and programs:
I’ve been serving as a delegate since the DAO’s inception in 2023, first through SEED Latam, and independently since July 2024, and as an OAT member since May, 2025. My previous experience gave me a valuable perspective as an external stakeholder deeply committed to Arbitrum’s success. Transitioning into a formal role as an OAT member complemented this dedication by providing me with firsthand context on how the organizations managing day-to-day operations function. Consequently, I believe I have a comprehensive understanding of the structure, organization, its frictions and remaining challenges ahead.
Furthermore, I’m an Arbitrum maxi. Arbitrum has strong teams, best-in-class technology, and a solid business model. With the transition to the AAEs model nearing completion, I believe the ecosystem is well positioned to leverage Arbitrum’s talent and distinctive standing in the market, and to translate that into measurable ecosystem growth.
- Given the scope of OpCo is relatively broad in its current form, describe how you view OpCo’s role within the DAO and what it should accomplish to deem the entity a success over the next 3-5 years:
The thesis I proposed in my application a year ago remains unchanged. I’ve stated that the OpCo will be successful if it:
-
Manages to establish a team that properly understands the DAO’s vision and efficiently executes the necessary action items to implement that vision.
-
It aligns and coordinates Arbitrum stakeholders, creating synergy for leveraging the available resources to drive ecosystem growth.
-
It positions the Arbitrum DAO as the go-to place for doing business in and with Arbitrum.
-
In coordination with the Arbitrum Foundation and Offchain, position Arbitrum as the leading L2 across all metrics. Arbitrum is already the best place to build. It should also be the leading L2.
I believe the direction of both the industry and the market has validated it. Over the past year, the focus has been on resolving operational friction and coordination challenges among different stakeholders. Today, we see a DAO operating as a business, much more focused on cost-effective, revenue-generating initiatives that grow the treasury in order to reinvest in Arbitrum’s core business.
With the OpCo close to being fully operational and key hires in place, the focus can shift toward translating the vision into initiatives that drive measurable growth.
So after one year of OpCo’s existence, I’ll add:
- It’s capable of spinning up new business lines that bring revenue to the DAO treasury.
