Hey folks! Some of you might already know that I’ve been a big fan of Aave for quite a while now, and I’m an active participant in this governance forum, snapshots and AIPs. My journey started back in May 2017 when Stani was on the hunt for some help with EthLend, a few months before it hit the mainnet. Since then, I’ve been all in on DeFi, especially Aave.
Why You Should Delegate to Me
First off, it’s just me here – no fancy service provider or big institution. I’m just another Aave holder, like many of you. The thing that sets us apart is that I’m really active in this community, and I’m eager to help more people get into the governance game and make the tough stuff easier to understand. I get it; for a lot of folks, voting on every AIP can be a bit pricey. That’s where you come in. I’m asking for your delegation so I can vote on your behalf and make your voice heard in these important governance decisions.
What Voters Can Expect from Me
Here’s what you can count on from me:
I’ll vote in a way that reflects the interests of Aave holders like you.
I’ll work to make the governance process even more decentralized.
I’ll do my best to break down complex topics into easy-to-digest info.
Some Closing Thoughts
Just to be clear, I’m not connected to any individuals or organizations, and I’m not getting paid by anyone for this. This is a one-person gig. I’m doing it because I believe it’s time to get more people involved, even if you only have 1 Aave in your wallet. By starting this delegation platform, I hope we can get more Aave holders engaged, either by delegating to me or, even better, by voting themselves in the future.
Really nice to see community members like @EzR3aL, who have been active in this forum (and the whole Aave) since the beginning, stepping up and creating delegate platforms.
Best of luck @EzR3aL and highly recommended to delegate!
Excited to see this delegate platform! Would encourage people to delegate, EzR3al has proven themselves to be a dedicated community member who cares deeply about Aave and has informed opinions about the protocol!
first of all i want to thank you all for the support in terms of kind words, already received delegations and likes.
I will from now on use this post to document my voting decisions.
Again, thank you everybody!
