Delegate Platform or Philosophy:
I firmly believe that DAOs need practical frameworks to thrive. Enforcing norms ensures that all participants feel empowered to contribute, fostering an inclusive environment. Value is generated within communities, and a project’s success is directly linked to the strength and alignment of its ecosystem. Specifically, for the Wormhole, my focus is on ensuring secure and seamless cross-chain transactions, maintaining robust governance structures, and promoting widespread adoption through community engagement and education.
Conflicts of Interest:
As the CEO of Tally.xyz, a primary services provider to the Wormhole DAO, I recognize potential conflicts of interest.
Policy for Handling Conflicts of Interest When They Arise:
I will endeavor to vote ‘Abstain’ on proposals that directly benefit Tally.xyz whenever possible. I am committed to transparently identifying and disclosing conflicts of interest, encouraging the community to hold me accountable. While conflicts of interest are not inherently negative, I will strive to avoid using my position for unfair advantage, ensuring fairness and integrity in all decision-making processes.
