If you have already selected a delegate (you can browse them here or here), post in this thread your reasoning behind selecting that delegate.

Questions to answer:

  • What delegate did you choose?
  • What is the voting participation of the last 5 votes of your delegate?
  • In what ways is this delegate aligned with you?

As a reminder, thoughtful responses are with 20 points. Spam or low-effort posts will not count towards the point total.

I delegated my OP to @jackanorak because of his OG commitment to all things Velodrome, and he understands the importance of leveraging annd lining up incentives to increase and grow the superchain.

I am super proud of the team for all the hard work they put in to the govNFT effort, and look forward to contributing to this ecosystem’s growth!

BTW - he has a 97 percent vote rate so he’s active

Welcome!!!

Remember to also put the voting participation % for Jack’s 5 most recent votes. You’ll be able to see that on his delegate profile page.

Hey!

I did choose to delegate my voting power to you, opmichael.eth
Your voting participation simply cant be better! 100% participation rate since the start, and 5/5 of the last votes, good job ser.
Honestly, I was looking for someone who is active in the governance to delegate my voting power and as the organizer of this program, I did choose you!

Long live to the SuperChain & Optimism :heart:

Hello!

I delegated my voting power to @jackanorak because I’ve seen him since day one committed to Velodrome and I think he stands for the vision of RFPG going to protocols who make an impact in the Superchain (impact=profit).

His voting participation of the last 5 votes is 97%. Really active and committed fella.

I chose to delegate my voting power to opmichael.eth, because your voting participation is outstanding! You have maintained a 100% participation rate since the beginning and have voted in all 5 of the last votes which is really awesome!
I appreciate you also being the organizer of this program, I believe you are the right choice for the people and I trust you will continue to remain active in governance and this is why I delegate my voting power to you!

Hi everyone - great to be here!! My OP journey started way back with Synthetix (SNX) - and then expanded into Kwenta and Lyra. More recently I’ve got into Velodrome (VELO) on Optimism and Aerodrome (AERO) on Base.

I’ve delegated to @jackanorak - he has a 97% participation rate.

I’m familiar with Jack through my involvement in Velodrome and can see what an advocate he is for Optimism and in particular work on building the Superchain. I like people who have a clear strategic vision and I think Jack has this in spades - for example most recently with the GOV NFTs which gave both a benefit for Velodrome users but also for other protocols using Optimism and the wider OP community.

I’m hoping to see more of this kind of thinking and voting from Jack going forward.

Hi all,

Firstly a big thank you I believe is owed to Michael for organising this! I would like to note that although I could have easily voted for Michael as so many others have as he is clearly aligned with my shared views on building the Superchain, I decided to delegate to Olimpio.eth
olimpio because I have more familiarity with his overall views on a broader range of voting matters at Optimism, this being just one of prior delegations I have committed to him in the past. I believe most of you are familiar with Olimpio, though it is worth noting he has a near perfect record with a participation rate of 99% effectively casting votes on 151 out of the last 153 proposals!! In particular, I’d like to borrow a quote from his profile to explain our alignment: “I am also passionate about public goods funding and believe that it is a crucial component of any successful crypto ecosystem.” (olimpio.eth on Agora)

I decided to delegate to @lefterisjp - a truly dedicated individual since the early days of ethereum and a genuine person with onchain track record of being an active voter and a long-term vision for the whole ecosystem.

I am from the velodrome community. the govnft obtained through locking velo, I decided to entrust the OP governance vote to @opmichael.eth. His voting rate in the last five votes was 100%. I think he is a very suitable candidate and hope he can bring us more surprises.

I come from Velodrome comunity. I picked GFX because Im familiar with their work in Makerdao and Arbitrum and they are a productive actor for the ecosystem.

I delegated my OP to @jackanorak because of the things that Velodrome brings to the Optimism is beyond reasoning, simply the best. Jack serves the VELO community the best!

I delegated to L2 Beat (delegate.l2beat.eth) based on the incredible data they provide
