Working Groups

FranklinDAO is University of Pennsylvania's premier student-run blockchain organization, representing over 300 members across undergraduate and graduate programs. As one of the most active university blockchain organizations globally, we maintain governance delegations across major DeFi protocols including Uniswap, Compound, Optimism, and many others.

Our governance process combines rigorous weekly discussions among committee leads with full membership debate before executing votes. We maintain specialized committees covering Governance, Research, Education, Investments, and Development, ensuring comprehensive protocol analysis and informed decision-making.

Core Values

Our governance philosophy centers on preserving DeFi's foundational principles:

Transparency: We commit to open decision-making processes and independent analysis free from external influence. All voting rationale is publicly documented and we actively engage with community questions about our positions.

Sustainability: We prioritize the long-term health and viability of protocols over short-term gains, focusing on decisions that strengthen ecosystems for sustained growth.

Inclusivity: We believe diverse perspectives drive better outcomes and actively work to ensure protocols remain accessible and fair for all participants.

Why Delegate to FranklinDAO

We bring unique value through our combination of academic rigor and practical governance experience. Our discussions blend graduate-level expertise across multiple jurisdictions with undergraduate innovation and fresh perspectives. We maintain a 95%+ participation rate across all delegated protocols and are committed to active, thoughtful engagement in Arbitrum's governance evolution.
