  • Is your protocol OP Native?: No, QiDao is a multi-chain protocol

  • If so, please link to voting history (ie. Snapshot profile, delegate communication thread, twitter threads, etc.):

  • Why do you want to participate in this program?

Our protocol devotes a significant percentage of its resources researching and developing on Optimism. As a result, much of the protocol sits on this chain. This creates a certain need to support Optimism and its future. Becoming a delegate will allow the QiDao team to contribute in new ways and connect us closer to the rest of the Optimism community. Additionally, the team maintains strong partnerships with most of the DeFi applications building on Optimism. This adds to the desire to contribute further to the chain.

  • Why do you believe your protocol would be a good steward of the Optimism ecosystem?

Through continued product releases, partnerships, events, and community building, QiDao has shown its commitment to Optimism. Given the widespread integrations QiDao has in the space, it’s safe to say success at both projects is aligned.

Since launching on Optimism, the team has not stopped shipping products. LP collateral vaults, $OP lending, and QiDao V2 are the latest product offerings to hit QiDao Optimism. Others on the way include custom timelocks, and an upgraded liquidation engine. Integrations and partnerships include Balancer, Velodrome, KyberSwap, Curve, Beefy, Yearn, Liquidity, Lido, Angle, Chainlink, Galxe, and Reaper. We also participate in key community groups affiliated with Optimism, like Defilatam.

  • Do you agree to abide by the delegate code of conduct: Yes

  • Please list any anticipated conflicts of interest: No material conflicts of interest. QiDao maintains very close and healthy relationships with all its key competitors.
