I have read and understood the Delegate Commitment Process: Yes
I understand that becoming a delegate is a significant commitment: Yes, although I don’t know the magnitude required. So, I’m not prepared to make an eternal commitment just yet.
My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: I have been writing about rollups as a side hobby for a couple of years and curious to see what the governance for a major rollup feels like. Wish I could offer you some grand statement, but it’s just curiosity at this point.
My view on the Optimistic Vision: Well, it’s curiosity and also a novel vision. I despise the entirely plutocratic systems that pervade the crypto space (a large reason why I’m a crypto-skeptic), and any attempt at breaking beyond it is worth contributing to.
My view on the first three articles of the Working Constitution:
-
This is pretty obvious - you wouldn’t have governance if the constitution wasn’t a work-in-progress.
-
Finding a balance will be challenging, I believe more specific goals and targets need to be fleshed out by citizens and holders and embedded into the constitution.
-
Also a pragmatic way to begin, though I’d like to see Optimism Foundation’s influence gradually diminish over time.
