About Us

Areta Governance specializes in supporting DAOs and foundations to establish and grow decentralized governance structures. We develop tailored solutions in governance inception and optimization, ecosystem growth, and service provider selection. Our connected investment bank with deep strategic expertise, enables us to serve our partners holistically, rather than working in isolated governance silos.

Our Experience

We have had the privilege to work for some of the leading companies and DAOs in the crypto space. Examples of our work on the governance side include leading the first cross-ecosystem growth initiative for Uniswap and Arbitrum, leading governance optimization initiatives for Arbitrum, Safe, and dYdX. On the transaction side, we led the first acquisition of Coingecko, the sale of Solscan to Etherscan, and the strategic wind-down of Gro DAO.

Our Core Tenets as Delegates

Areta’s core tenets as delegates are as follows:

• 100% Voting Participation - we are deeply invested in the ecosystem and our goal is to meaningfully support its direction via thoughtful, educated governance decisions.
• Independent and Impartial Voting - our voting is strictly informed by critical analysis and years of experience and is not based on bias or external influences.
• Communication of Voting Rationale - we will communicate the rationale behind our votes through frequent updates to our delegate forum thread, making us accountable to the community

Conflict of Interest/Waiver of Liability

Areta currently does not have any material conflicts of interest. We agree to keep the Obol community updated should any conflicts of interest arise. Our work in other DAOs is solely focused on supporting structural projects that are advancing the overall DAO space, are open-sourced across DAOs and will not influence any decision-making.

By delegating to Areta, you acknowledge and agree that Areta will participate on a best efforts basis and will not be liable for any form of damages related to participation in this DAO.
