Disclosure from Bill

Hello,

In the interest of transparency and maintaining disclosures, I am sharing that I have agreed to a 4-week contract with Butter as an Event Coordinator during several events they are hosting in Thailand before and during Devcon. Butter received two grants from AGD, awarded in May 2023 and June 2024.

While I continue to explore a path forward for AGD and am committed to stewarding next steps, since AGD’s wind down in August 2024, I no longer receive compensation from AGD. Butter is building a product and has a vision I am truly excited about and see the potential for significant value add if the Aave ecosystem were to embrace some of their ideas.

Given my commitment to stewarding AGD forward, the previously awarded grants to Butter from AGD, and the possibility of future relationships between Butter and the Aave ecosystem, I thought a disclosure was appropriate.

To be clear, any time spent “working” on AGD related items during Devcon is not covered by this contract with Butter. As I agreed to when AGD wound down, any work done by myself on AGD initiatives since AGD’s wind down will be “pro bono” to align incentives until there is a clear path forward with the community.
