Hello Arbitrum Community,  
WakeUp Labs is pleased to announce its official application to join the Arbitrum Security Council.

#### Motivation to sign up

WakeUp Labs is an engineering team recognized in the ecosystem for building mission-critical infrastructure alongside major players such as Arbitrum, Optimism, Coinbase, Starknet, Aztec Rootstock, Velora, among others.

We focus on infrastructure, security, and protocol development for EVM-compatible ecosystems, working across governance tooling, staking systems, bridges, RWA platforms, and node infrastructure.

Our continuous collaboration with Arbitrum, through SDK contributions, governance proposals, and developer tools, positions us as a valuable partner to strengthen its security and resilience.

WakeUp Labs views security as the backbone of Arbitrum’s success. Joining the Security Council is a natural extension of our ongoing work: securing infrastructure, automating governance, and contributing tools that reinforce decentralization.

#### Our value fit is clear:

- Engineering Expertise: Proven ability to deliver and maintain secure infrastructure across multiple ecosystems.
- Arbitrum Track Record: Direct contributions to the SDK, DAO proposals with over 99% approval, and development of a force-inclusion interface to mitigate sequencer downtime.
- Infra & Security Culture: Operating validator and sequencer nodes, building RaaS templates, and embedding security reviews into every deliverable.
- Trusted Collaborator: Recognized by leading ecosystems for transparency, technical excellence, and reliability.

With this foundation, WakeUp Labs is prepared to bring an infra-driven, security-first perspective to the Council.

#### Relevant experience:

- Infrastructure & Nodes: Running Aztec sequencers, deploying RaaS infra with SST, validator operations.
- Protocol Development: AAVE forks, staking systems, bridges, auto-compounding vaults, APIs.
- Governance: Proposals and tooling across Arbitrum, Optimism, Velora/ParaSwap, Rootstock, Sandbox DAO.
- Security: Products consistently passing third-party audits; internal frameworks for code reviews and best practices.
- Ecosystem Recognition: Engineering partner in initiatives with Coinbase, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Rootstock.
