Our reasons for wanting to be a delegate: We at Blockchain at Berkeley believe Hop is core infrastructure for Ethereum’s rollup-centric path to scaling. Hop governance is a method of handing over this key infrastructure to the community. If delegated to, our organization will take an active role in community discussions, and work closely on initiatives or proposals that further decentralize and activate community governance.

Our web3 qualifications / skills: We are a 100+ student organization involved in blockchain research, development, and governance. We have been around since ~2014, and have done projects for major Web3 protocols. We are active delegates for AAVE, Uniswap, Compound, dYdX, and Tribe; and have pushed through multiple proposals. Our hop delegation will be run by a specialized team with dedicated focus on Hop governance.

What voters can expect of us: The community can expect all of our voting decisions to be publicized via our Twitter account. Additionally we will take on projects we believe to benefit Hop overall: whether it be developer work to improve meta-governance, writing proposals for Hop, or proposals on external protocols that benefit Hop.
