Snapshot vote: ARDC V2 Elections
Risk: Nethermind Research
Nethermind holds enough expertise and experience assessing technical and financial risks. They also has a broad scope in experience with topics in DeFi and protocols. We liked their approach in structuring research both in depth but also keeping community members informed on complex topics; and their focus on projects of risk modeling and management, restaking analysis and post-deployment impact of staking.
Security: OpenZeppelin
OpenZeppelin reputation needs no introduction. They have provided security services in the past and have held active roles in Arbitrum, as well as held a position in ARDC V1. We trust that they are well positioned to hold a spot in ARDC V2.
Research: 70% Blockworks + 30% PYOR
After careful consideration, reviewing again candidates presentations and applications we decided to split our vote.
Blockworks past experience and deliverables were the main reason behind our support for them. Beyond their scope of research into incentives, we are interested in the inclusion in scope for their additional initiatives of a developer centric framework, and a timeboost allocation framework and financial audits (as we believe not all focus should be placed in incentive frameworks).
PYOR: We’ve explored their research in the past, and appreciate their approach in analysis. We particularly align with their proposed verticals in revenue analysis, liquidity attraction and analysis of tooling and cross chain infrastructure to improve developer experience.
Supervisory Council Election
Operations Role: Entropy + Tamara
The only candidate for this role, but we look forward to see results of this collaboration!
Comms role
We split our vote between James and JuanRah + Alex Lumley.
Jameskbh has had great experience in Karpatkey collaborating with DAOs as well as a delegate. Overall great candidate.
We also voted for JuanRah + Alex Lumley for the Communications role. We believe they hold the necessary experience and priorities in planning, executing and coordinating communication strategies across the DAO.
