Despite being interested in participating in Aave governance for a long timer, it is thanks to the suggestion of those at Butter that I finally took the leap. For this reason, I would like to extend my submission to be part of the first election of delegates in the process. Please vote for me if you agree on these ideas!
DELEGATE INITIATIVE
Main goals
As stated in my delegate platform, my strengths come from my current expertise in the areas of Governance, Research and DeFi.
Because of this, I’d like to set two goals, one related to the governance system and another one to the protocol itself. Area 1 will involve my personal participation in the DAO, as well as assisting with the creation of a successful standardised delegate platform system. Meanwhile, Area 2 will focus on ensuring a successful launch and growth process for GHO, as well as assisting it in every step possible.
Area 1: Governance Onboarding and Participation
As a recent first-time delegate to Aave , the first thing that stood out to me was the lack of standardisation for becoming a delegate. This leads to a significant blocker to new people deciding to participate in Aave governance, as it is difficult to know not only what areas one can focus on, but also how one can present themselves as a proper delegate.
For this reason, were I to be elected, I would like to help standardise the Delegate Platform process and assist with the documentation of areas of focus within Aave DAO. This will not only facilitate more high-quality candidates to participate in the future, but also assist with platforms like Butter in future campaigns, were this pilot to be considered successful.
Additionally, as part of this area of focus I would like to once again emphasise my commitment to governance participation were I to be elected as a Butter delegate. For this reason, I want to introduce quantifiable participation metrics. This involves participating in voting, as well as forum discussions in every step of the process.
KPIs
- Produce 1 TEMP CHECK that passes successfully regarding this Area of focus
- Produce a report of the current areas of focus for Aave DAO, and potential areas of focus for future participants.
- Achieve a voting rate of at least 75% for all votes during the term.
Area 2: Growth and Integration of GHO into wider DeFi ecosystem
As we all know, a new key product is soon being prepared for release by Aave, and despite the release coming soon, we still have a long way to GHO.
Were I to be elected as a Butter delegate, I believe it is important to help as much as possible for the healthy and successful launch of GHO. After all, despite this being a new kind of resilient stablecoin, it is still going to have to compete with many others in the market, and a specific strategy is required to ensure its launch into the DeFi space.
As the technical side of GHO is already being handled thoroughly, I want to propose assisting with its integrations into the wider ecosystem space. These include listing the asset on other DAOs, assessing the liquidity of GHO, and ensuring the successful deployment of it.
KPIs
- Vote and assess the votes and temp checks required for the release of go GHO
- Assess the health of the liquidity plans of GHO, and propose additional ones if needed
- Assist with GHO being successfully integrated into other DeFi protocols, and if liquidity is sufficient in Etheruem mainnet, assess the possibilities in other chains and networks as well
