Hi everyone, following my participation in the last Season’s Code of Conduct council. I am putting myself forward for nomination in the hopes of advancing the role of the Council as a body accountable to the Token House able to resolve conflict. I trust @juankbell is going to serve his role as the Head of the Council very well, and would be happy to participate in this new iteration. Thank you so much for your consideration!

If you are a delegate, please indicate what % of votable supply is delegated to you: 0.14%
If you are a delegate, please indicate your voting participation rate in OP governance to date: 81%
Please link to your voting history and any voting rationale you’ve shared:
Have you attended GravityDAO’s conflict resolution training?: Yes
If so, what was the most impactful learning you took away from this training?:
Many of the lessons were very useful even for day to day life, but the most impactful one by far especially for this role is regarding communications and handling difficult conversations. Even if the content is good, if it is delivered without accounting for the other’s receptivity a common ground cannot be reached.
The effectiveness of this training was especially noticeable in the meetings of the council last season. Despite members strongly disagreeing with each other in some conversations, the conversation always felt safe and civil, as each member would acknowledge each other’s state of mind and would approach the situation with utmost respect.
Please demonstrate any non-Optimism experience you believe is relevant to this role:
My most relevant contribution comes from the development of ParaSwap DAO and the protocol. Actively managing a DeFi protocol and communicating with users requires understanding of one’s community as well as communicating even difficult topics in a clear and civil tone.
Have you previously served in a representative (appointed or elected) role in the Collective? I was elected to the Code of Conduct Council last season. Additionally, I was a participant in the Thank Optimism mission during season 4.
Please outline your contributions, and their impact, to the Optimism ecosystem to date:
- Token House Delegate since Season 3: I have had a participation rate of over 80% , delivering votes on different key decisions as well as the reasoning in the forums and Agora.
- Mission contributor: Assisted with the mission of creating a contributor framework for Ambassadors in the Thank Optimism mission alliance. The impact can be assessed on the original thread thanks to @Jrocki 's updates: [FINAL] Thank Optimism - powered by ThriveCoin - #70 by Jrocki

- Code of Conduct Council Member: Assisted with the tasks expected from the Council members. The best place to track the impact can be found here: Code of Conduct Council Communication Thread
Please disclose any anticipated conflicts of interest: I am a major contributor to the ParaSwap protocol, and as such, I will refrain in participating in any conflcit that is even tangentially related to ParaSwap. Additionally, I am a non-top25 delegate in Arbitrum.
