Introduction and experience

kpk helps organisations secure, manage, and grow their onchain assets. A DeFi-native organisation specialising in professional DAO finance through industry-leading research and tooling since 2020. We’ve been working with GnosisDAO, Balancer, ENS, CoW Protocol, and Lido on financial planning, operations, and strategy, diversifying their treasuries into sustainable portfolios of DeFi investments designed to support DAOs in executing their missions.

Why kpk

Optimism is a leading industry player, powering the most prominent and promising Layer 2 ecosystems through the Superchain.

At kpk, our governance team leverages a diverse network of experts, including engineers, DeFi strategists, data analysts, financial quant analysts, and accountants, ensuring deep subject matter expertise. With extensive experience as DAO treasury developers and active contributors to reputable DeFi protocols, our team possesses the necessary knowledge, trust, and alignment to advance Optimism’s continued growth significantly.

We pride ourselves on taking a hands-on approach as delegates, driven by our core values of ownership, collaboration, and delivering high-impact outcomes in every initiative.

Beyond our expertise in DeFi and treasury management, we are committed to contributing to broader DAO governance discussions. Drawing from our experience collaborating with various DAOs, we aim to impact and enhance governance within Optimism DAO positively.
