EzR3aL Delegate Platform

Key Info

Introduction

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.

So, let’s kick this off. Cheers! :rocket:

Aave Governance V3 Activation
 Vote:YES

Gauntlet <> Aave Renewal 2023
 Vote:NO
Rationale: You might be asking why? As i always say risk is crucial and think 2 independent opinions are important. While this is correct, i do think Gauntlets quality and response time decreased over time, while other risk provider came out of nowhere and delivered fast and easy to understand. The decision i made probably won’t make any difference while the major part of the DAO voted YES but this should let Gaunlet know, that they could loose the DAO in the future as a customer if they don’t deliver or keep up with the competition. There are other risk provider that can be onboarded and probably would be happy to serve the DAO.Competition is important and needed, if you don’t have any you get lazy. This is a wake up call to every SP.

Snapshot:
[TEMP CHECK] Integrate Oval for the BAL & SNX Ethereum V3 Markets
Vote: NO
Rationale: I have already expressed several points and concerns regarding the Oval approach. Oval seems to be approaching a potentially significant area for exploration. While MEV has always been a consideration, the concept of OEV had not crossed my mind before this proposal. However, I prioritize security above all else, as I committed to monitoring it consistently when initiating this delegate platform.

Oval has raised some apprehensions with its current approach. Even though it would have only been tested in a small, isolated market, I am hesitant to embrace it. If something were to go wrong, the user might bear the consequences, which is the worst-case scenario. Brand recognition is crucial and takes time to build. It shouldn’t be jeopardized by experimenting with something new unless it has undergone thorough testing.

It could be assumed that I lack the technical knowledge to fully comprehend everything. While this may be true to some extent, I consulted with other experts before making my voting decision. Different parties have presented promising solutions, and it’s essential to evaluate what is best for Aave, its users, and, in this specific case, its liquidators – the final barrier against accumulating bad debt.

I would prefer to see a more broadly researched solution for Aave overall, and I encourage everyone to participate in this initiative. Although I voted NO, it was not a rejection of Oval or UMA but rather a stance against the TEMP CHECK proposal. I was advised to vote abstain, but that would imply potential support for Oval, which I cannot endorse in its current form, hence the NO vote. However, I am open to alternative solutions and willing to contribute where I can.
