I have read and understood the Delegate Commitment Process: Yes

I understand that becoming a delegate is a significant commitment: Yes

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate:

As active participants in 0x Protocol’s governance (which itself is continually changing), we are excited about this unique opportunity for immersive learning and giving back, which ideally helps the Optimism Collective on its governance journey, while also leveling up the value we bring back to our “native” community. It’s inspiring to see all of the experimentation happening across the ecosystem — Optimism’s dual house structure and working constitution are particularly ambitious and interesting to us, in addition to this new experiment in “visiting delegation” that leverages idle OP to create new value.

My view on the Optimistic Vision:

We share the vision that web3 will enable new economic models built on decentralized public goods that benefit the communities that create, maintain, and govern them — thus dispelling the myth that public goods cannot be profitable. As a public good itself, 0x Protocol builds under a similar vision of serving as a propellant for growth within the larger blockchain economy that leads to a virtuous cycle of impact-driven expansion.

My view on the first three articles of the Working Constitution:

1. These are still very much the early days of the blockchain ecosystem, and we expect that new paradigms will emerge that will make change necessary — we think that it is a very sensible approach to have an iterative working constitution that supports experimentation and innovation before ossifying to a bedrock constitution.

2. We agree that a thoughtful, incentive-based system of checks and balances is fundamental to ensuring the integrity and legitimacy of a sustainable governance structure.

3. Tying in with the first point of this being a period of many changes, we concur with the need for the Optimism Foundation to fulfill the role of prime mover for governance experimentation and support its stewardship of the Optimism Collective in its early forms.
