My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: This is a very worth looking forward project, I have always been optimistic, and I hope to be a part of it

My view on the Optimistic Vision 121: Decentralization, community and influence/profit are the foundation of Ethereum. I want to make sure it stays that way and vote for the optimistic vision.

My view on the first three articles of the Working Constitution: I very much agree. As the Constitution works and evolves, I plan to keep up and try to make some meaningful contributions to it in the future

I have read and understood the Delegate Commitment Process: Yes

I understand that becoming a delegate is a significant commitment: Yes, I understand.

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: I am passionate about DAO governance and the possibilities that it presents. I am also very interested in exploring better ways to achieve public goods funding, and I want to support the work that Optimism is doing by becoming an active delegate.

My view on the Optimistic Vision: I agree with the approach and model of the Optimism Collective. By focusing on promoting positive impact through the funding of public goods, we can build a more productive ecosystem and reward impact-makers.

My view on the first three articles of the Working Constitution:

  1. I agree. By being open to experimentation, the collective will be more flexible and responsive. We can learn better, adapt faster, and apply the lessons learned towards the development of the bedrock constitution.
  2. Checks and balances are necessary to maintain a balance in power, and a balance in incentives. This is important for effective decentralised governance.
  3. I would like to see the Foundation’s influence reduce over time as the governance system becomes stronger.

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate:
Hello everyone! We’re Penn Blockchain (@sangjenar1 on twitter), a leading, completely student run blockchain organization from The University of Pennsylvania for both our undergraduate and graduate schools. The club currently has over 50 members and we’re expecting many more in the semesters to come!

committees covering Governance, Research, Education, Business Development, and Development/Web3. On the governance side of things, our team has different members leading governance initiatives for different protocols we have delegations for. delegations include Aave, Compound, Uniswap, DyDx, IndexCoop, Maker, etc. Each week, governance leads will share updates with the club about new proposals and we will all debate about what to do before voting with our wallet.

We’d love to be your $OP delegate as many of us have been closely following Optimism for a while now. Our weekly discussions combine graduates with years of expertise in many jurisdictions with many bright minded undergrads eager to leave their impact and names in Web3.

My view on the Optimistic Vision:
ā€œTogether, we will create the future of coordinated, collaborative cyberspace.ā€ We couldn’t have put it better ourselves. The ushering in of a new digital democratic governance used to drive rapid and sustained growth is one that resonates well with us, and something we entirely support!

My view on the first three articles of the Working Constitution:

This is a working constitution: We like the introductory period before the constitution becomes the Bedrock Constitution. As with most novel things, we will have to change and amend multiple things; this allows us to do just that.

OP Citizens and OP Holders will equally coexist within the Collective: We are in support of the bicameral governance system. As stated, short-term incentives and long term visions must be aligned.

The Optimism Foundation will be a steward of the Optimism Collective and its early governance model: We understand that the Optimism Foundation will at times have to step in. We expect, as well as are confident, that the Optimism Foundation will act in the best interest of the ecosystem.

My Web3 interests:
Defi, DAOs, Gaming, NFT, Governance (and so much more, name one thing and we’re confident multiple people in our club will share that similar interest)

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: There are many reasons, but the most obvious reason is one. I want to make the most promising project together.
Give me a chance to be with you.

My view on the Optimistic Vision: WEP1 has caused a lot of changes in people. It gave me a chance to take many things comfortably.
WEP2 did not stop here but gave a lot of information, as well as a huge amount of influence and money to a small people.
Optimism, will present a new direction of life, as well as enormous wealth, for everyone who is with them.

My view on the first three articles of the Working Constitution:

New procedures are being created, so it won’t be so smooth.
The right path has not yet been established, which is clearly defined.
Therefore, I think it will be criticized a lot and the fluctuation will be great.
But I think we’re going to walk the path we’re going to pursue for four years and that path will be a compass for other projects to come in the future. I hope you walk on a nice road with many people.

I have read and understood the Delegate Commitment Process: Yes

I understand that becoming a delegate is a significant commitment: Yes

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: I’ve been involved in a fight for free software and public goods for almost 20 years now. Since the late 90s I’ve been involded in various Linux related projects (LinuxPL, Debian), with Polish Linux Users Group and Polish chapter of Internet Society (ISOC PL). I’ve been co-creating one of the biggest Polish libraries with public domain books, (WolneLektury). Since I’ve been involved in crypto, I’ve been helping Polish authorities to understand and appreciate public, permissionless blockchain infrastructure through education activities and involvement in public debate.

I’m a part of L2BEAT team, I’m responsible for all governance related topics and I will be serving as L2BEAT delegate in all protocols that wer’re involved with. As L2BEAT we understand the value and importance of public debate and governance processes and we want to provide our own resources to enhance those. We value open, transparent, permissionless systems and we would like to make sure that the ecosystems stays committed to those values. My role in the organisation is to be involved in all the relevant processes, providing time and resources to have a positive impact on the ecosystem.

My view on the Optimistic Vision : I strongly believe that the power of communities comes from coordination around common values. I am a long-time supporter of public goods. I believe that through experimentation on public goods funding, open debate, and governance mechanisms we can have a positive impact on future communities that are going to evolve around the ecosystems that we’re building today.

My view on the first three articles of the Working Constitution:

  1. We’re still in the early days of improving governance mechanisms to make them work at scale in modern digital societies, it is absolutely obvious that any ruleset has to evolve while we learne.
  2. Strongly agree. We need to play both for the ā€œhere and nowā€ goals, but with greater vision in mind. Our decisions need to take into account the long game and the interests of the whole community.
  3. That seems absolutely reasonable.

I have read and understood the Delegate Commitment Process: Yes, as a NFT Collector i think that a good network is really important, feedback made the network become better and better day by day.

I understand that becoming a delegate is a significant commitment: of course, im here not only to vote for fun, im really serious to be a delegator

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: I am a member of Ganland, I am really fascinated by the NFT Ganland created, so I am here to vote, to defend and to support Ganland.
In just a short time participating, Ganland’s products make me really satisfied. In today’s bad market, Ganland’s 2D and 3D works are one of the rare bright spots for me to continue to believe in Crypto market, believe in Web 3.
Therefore, to be able to continue to support Ganland, becoming a Delegator is an important and inevitable part.

My view on the Optimistic Vision: I know about Optimistic for a long time ago, im also a member who recevied a huge airdrop and follow Optimistic almost half year. For sure, i belive about Optimistic, and i know the way team choosing is right, Web3, NFT with strong community alway is the best. In the future, i think Optimistic will be on top 5 Network.

My view on the first three articles of the Working Constitution: I think it’s a very interesting structure, anyway, i dont have much knowledge about that things, so everything i can do is read, try to understand and follow. In the future, i hope that Optimistic can keep the original spirit and for sure, i alway be here, together.

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate?

I have a compassionate viewpoint with the goal of bettering spaces, standing as, with, and for artists in a sustainable way, evolving and being at the forefront of technology, art, and music.

I have read and understood the Delegate Commitment Process?

Yes

My view on the Optimistic Vision?

I like how you conceptualised the idea of a sustainable self governing system or at least what one might look like so early on and I share an equally optimistic vision for the future.
It looks sweet and as I later state I am happy to be optimistic.

My view on the first three articles of the Working constitution?

I agree and own the risk of web3 commitment as I have sacrificed a lot already for it. I’m pretty much all in on creating my vision from the future which aligns perfectly with optimism’s, albeit from a musical core. I’m passionate about creating social experiences for people as well as building efficient systems in and around it. My personal view is mostly all things in this space are an experiment at this time and it’s about having the robustness to morph and change to adapt to the expanding marketplace.

My skills and area of expertise?

Songwriting, writing, poetry, all things music, nfts.

I understand that becoming a delegate is a significant commitment?

Yes,

I have always thought, I’m a citizen of the world. Yet I didn’t realise how optimistic I was for thinking that. All I can say is, it’s a pleasure to be in good company.

Now about me I’m an artist, and a writer. Music is where my heart is, March of 2021 is where my journey in web3 with NFT’s started. I hate that word. You see I’ve always followed my heart. It sounds so sweet but being honest, I wouldn’t recommend it cos it tastes like defeat. I could go on but I’m not defeated yet.

I guess that’s what I love about optimism. It soldiers on. Even when all the light is gone. Somehow optimistically shining. In the dark be a light. Or fight for what’s right as cool would say.

Maybe this style of approach is uncouth, like a child still burdened with youth. Or is it searching for truth lost in cyberspace. It’ll be fine either way. Citizens old and wise, citizens play, and citizens fight.

In spite of human corruption trust-less systems are able to make things right, right?

That would surely be nice.

In fact it’s haunted my dreams at night.

There was a time I made history on layer one, and then layer two. All for fun too, but seriously. Hic Et Nunc came through. As did Quix (the market place) which I let some Heartbeats loose. 51 to be exact, and off they flew to live a life of their own.

Once you propel something into space it continues going. You only need to steer the ship, I like that optimism recognises this as an experiment, with a good value system to learn and grow with through time, and as a member of the optimistic community, I would seriously take it upon myself to help guide the flight as best as possible. By being a steward of the light. As is my mission.

My stance or position is simply one of inquisition, making cut throat decisions trying not to cut of circulation. There’s more to this than just the exterior. Water yourself and then water someone else. Pass it on, tell a friend to tell a friend.

Low and behold I’ve been biding my time, lying in wait like a sleeper agent. Not a martyr for a cause more-like collecting karma points in wars. Bloodied and bruised, participating through every moment.
Sore as well from being blindsided by your ever changing tide.

It’s funny how things change, but people stay the same. Though I’ve met amazing people in this place. Among the toxicity within close proximity.

Wading through the Nile of potential.

With a form of togetherness.

Like maybe one day we could live forever, and ever, I guess… but only if we’re clever.

So far Heartistry is an ecosystem that has grown with a similar vision to optimism. As part of a niche creative hub for a musical game and ethos of creation. Artists apart of it are only required to put their ā€œHeart, into their Artistryā€. As suggested in the name. Which is a verb, and a doing word.

All projects released thus far have been performed, written, and published by me, Joe, with Heartistry. As an experiment if you will. For what publishing music on the blockchain with a method that is in favour of the artist might look like. With a focus on support and reward structures and social gamification.

Maybe its nothing more than a pipe dream, but I remain optimistic

My web3 interests are DAO’s, Music, Governance, Gaming, Writing, Jingles, Poetry, Philosophy, NFT’s, Experiences (Virtual/IRL).

I speak English (EN) and that’s the language I read and write.

My favourite web3 projects are Fractal Visions, Heartistry, and Dread Heads.

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate are simple. I believe that there needs to be people with good hearts and intentions in positions where they can influence things for the better. As a representative of Heartistry, being a delegate for optimism would allow me to put artists first and support web3 music creators and artists in general, onboarding them through the optimism network, benefiting both ecosystems as well as everyone connected through the chain.

After all maybe we’re one and the same.

Thanks for taking the time to read my commitment.

I understand that becoming a delegate is a significant commitment: Yes

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: I would like to become an active participant in governance decisions which contributes to the further development of the this ecosystem, which I believe has stated the foundations for a long term sustainable commitment.

My view on the Optimistic Vision : believe that it states the values of a shared vision and a North Star as indicated. Im fully aligned on what contribution and rewards towards the efforts and dedication toward maintaining a public good should be incentivized in order to keep individuals involved in building common information systems and the infrastructure of the present and future. So, fully agree with the vision that has been set and willing to become part of the future development of it.

My view on the first three articles of the Working Constitution:

  1. I think the fact that we are in technology means that change is the only constant. So, building based from the fact that we have to be flexible from the start is something that for me is what this first article implies and something I believe its a clear starting point for a dynamic ecosystem
  2. I think the concept of balancing power between these bicameral systems is what makes it more sustainable long term
  3. Proper format is via a foundation to make things clear, and this jurisdiction is a proper one. So I think it’s the right decision

I have read and understood the Delegate Commitment Process: Yes

I understand that becoming a delegate is a significant commitment: Yes

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: We love Optimism - be it values, tech, community, ecosystem, and the commitment to public goods. We’re committed to take active part in the future of Optimism.

My view on the Optimistic Vision 135: Incentives rule the world, and we believe in the vision of Optimism Collective and we are align and committed to contribute to the world that benefits those who benefit it. Public goods are good.

My view on the first three articles of the Working Constitution:

  1. Experimentation is key, providing that the security of the network is ensured. Careful, battle tested iteration in governance processes should be the standard.
  2. Engaging community members & being able to enact their wishes in a trust-minimized system should by design procreate positive outcomes for network participants as the Optimism Collective, & indeed those outside of the network. If the Optimism Collective can unite ideas and align incentives for the better, the whole world stands to benefit. Though, we should also pay close attention to certain attack vectors- ensuring that the system cannot be exploited as per the wants of the few.
  3. Optimism Foundation plays a crucial role in on-going governance iteration process, ecosystem growth & coordination, as well as global Optimism adoption. At this stage, the success of Optimism governance still depends on such solid early stewardship for long term health as well as security. The road to decentralization is not an easy one, but we’re confident that we can make it all together.

I have read and understood the Delegate Commitment Process: Read and agreed with :heavy_check_mark:

I understand that becoming a delegate is a significant commitment: Currently, I am also spending a lot of my time helping the ParaSwap DAO, but I will devote time to my delegate duties as well :heavy_check_mark:


My reasons for wanting to be a delegate:

While I go into more details about this further down my commitment, I find the ideas the Optimism Collective extremely important to upkeep not just for Optimism, but for the future of Web 3 in general. From the innovative method to distribute OP to maximise social impact to its bicameral governance structure, I believe many important things are being tried out here which can assist all of us.

Decentralised Governance protocols like this one require people lending their expertise to discuss and craft the best possible version of something, and I want to lend my (limited) hand in this. Currently my main focus has been in assisting the ParaSwap DAO with governance, where I work to build a protocol that strives to be a decentralised public good for everyone to be able to access DeFi with. An example of this is our current experimentation with the idea of Social Escrow, in which protocol fees would be distributed to users that provide the most Positive Externalities to the protocol.

I’ve wanted to contribute to build here for a while, but to be honest, I always considered my impact would be quite limited as a delegate. However, the Protocol Delegate initiative has been the perfect idea to kickstart my participation in the collective, as now I could both represent the interests of my current most-devoted-to DAO while helping build on the Collective! From here, I hope to slowly grow as a delegate that people are familiar with.

My view on the Optimistic Vision :
The Optimistic vision is something that I find both ambitious and incredibly encouraging in equal parts. After all, the idea of having a collective that manages to foster public goods sustainably is one that society has struggled to accomplish (or even try) for hundreds of years.

Despite this cynical take, I believe that Web 3 not only strongly needs to try to follow this ideals as well as they can, but also that thanks to the unique mindset of Web3 of Decentralisation, Open Source and Decentralised Governance we have a pretty good shot of building something great here.

My view on the first three articles of the Working Constitution:

  1. I understand, and welcome this approach of experimentation. The whole space is only a few years old, so it makes sense that we must iterate and grow over time for the Working Constitution as well.
  2. I am excited to see this bicameral system being used for Optimistic Governance. Similar to what I said in my first point, our current systems of governance are new, so this new approach to balancing short and long term visions is exciting.
  3. As many others have said before, I understand the need of the Foundation to assist with the establishment of the collective, and over time decentralise itself more and more as the Collective becomes self-sustaining and resilient.

(There are many, many projects I both love and respect, but due to the 3 project limit, I picked ParaSwap as that is the DAO I am most active in, Balancer as it was the project that raised my interest in DeFi and DAOs, and AAVE because of its strength in demonstrating real-world usage of DeFi early on for me)
