  • Research/Governance: Voting and building proposals for delegated protocols including Compound, Uniswap, Aave, and Optimism. Also run whitepaper circles and initiatives to answer research questions in the space.

Governance Voting Methodology:

  • The governance department meets in person weekly to discuss updates. Members sign up to the protocols they want to be active on, with a lead being assigned to each. Throughout the week, members voice their opinions about proposals and governance changes in our internal Slack channel. After internal consensus is achieved, we vote on proposals and aim to explain our positioning on the forum.
