Was your protocol active in Optimism governance prior to 12/5/22?: No
-
Why do you want to participate in this program?:
We are excited about Optimism’s impact-driven mission, and we want to make sure our tools and resources can best foster the ecosystem.
We are keen to keep communications flowing between the Collective and the future ConnextDAO, as our organizations are strongly aligned on the long term vision and the technical side.
I personally would like to learn from a DAO that is at the forefront of distributed governance, how the constitution and the processes will evolve, and contribute with my experience and skills. -
Why do you believe your protocol would be a good steward of the Optimism ecosystem?
Our Values are strongly aligned: a trust-minimized and scalable Ethereum, positive sum games, optimism about impactful public goods https://twitter.com/ConnextNetwork/status/1487090049611182082
Our teams have been collaborating since 2017 (Connext was the first bridge to trustlessly connect Optimism and Arbitrum) and we’d love to continue this cooperation also at the level of the DAO.
On the technical side, Connext new modular architecture uses the Optimism bridge as the underlying communication layer when moving data in and out of Optimism. This ensures that we don’t add new trust assumptions on top of the L2 and strictly tides our success to Optimism’s. -
Do you agree to abide by the delegate code of conduct: Yes

Please list any anticipated conflicts of interest: none. Our first interest is the success of a trustless and impactful web3, and we transparently share trade-offs about trust minimization in our architecture and alternative solutions.
