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: I want to further support the important work that Optimism is doing on scaling. I’m also passionate about public goods funding and governance experimentation.

My view on the Optimistic Vision 17: I align strongly with the vision. I’m excited about the new model focused on optimizing for positive impact and providing retroactive incentives for public goods.

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

1. Agree, I think the collective should be open to experimentation and be dynamic in the early days as we grow and learn
2. Agree, I’m supportive of checks and balances
3. Agree, I’m glad to see the Optimism Foundation be a steward of the collective early on
