GM everyone, I am Angela Kreitenweis, and this is my self-nomination for the reviewer role on the Milestones and Metrics Council. As an Optimism grantee with a strong background in token engineering, I bring a unique combination of technical expertise and hands-on experience. I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to the Milestones and Metrics Council, setting new benchmarks for tracking and measuring impact in the crypto space.
Expertise: Proficiency in measurement, evaluation, data analysis, and reporting.
- Evaluation: a) As an Optimism grantee, I understand the importance of clear objectives and fair reviews for success; b) over the past months, I built a six-step evaluation framework for Optimism Retro Funding, including system models and simulations to model impact and manage risk; c) during my time at VCs, I designed and implemented KPIs to assess early stage startups and guide seed investment decisions, typically $500K+ per investment.
- Automation: as a founder at TE Academy, I established a reputation system for TE Academy’s community. It processes on-chain and offchain data and updates individual reputation according to ever-changing state of the network (Dynamic Network-Weight Scaling). It combines incentives for the individual with rewards to make the total network value grow, a pattern that fits well with Optimism’s goal of growing TVL.
- Milestones and TVL: as a token engineer, I analyzed dozens of projects, whitepapers and token mechanisms, such as vesting, staking, locking, etc. to assess their impact on token value locked (TVL) in the short-/medium-/and long-term
- Metrics: I have a deep understanding in token analytics, collaborating with analysts from Messari, Artemis, Tokenomist and others. This includes measuring TVL, and deriving meaningful sub-metrics to track a project’s performance in growing TVL
Reputation: Known and trusted individuals or entities with a demonstrated alignment with the Optimistic Vision.
- I successfully integrated TE Academy’s community of 20,000+ into the Optimism network, with graduates holding non-transferable proofs of achievement on the OP mainnet.
- Badgeholders rewarded TE Academy’s positive impact with Optimism Retrofunding in round 2 and round 3
- With GovXS, I was selected as contributor for Foundation Mission Request 188 and received Retro Funding in round 6
Impartiality: Ability to maintain objectivity and fairness in assessing grant outcomes.
- I am committed to maintaining fairness and objectivity in grant evaluations.
- I value data-driven, informed and balanced evaluations to maintain trust and alignment with grantees and the Optimism Collective.
Alignment: Disclose all conflicts of interest that could impact impartial decision-making.
- I have no conflicts of interest
- Impartial decision-making is a principle I hold deeply, as it not only ensures fairness but also strengthens the credibility and impact of the Milestones and Metrics Council
- Should potential conflicts of interest arise I’ll openly communicate without delay and recuse myself where necessary.
Secure: Maintain good industry standard Operational Security practices with regards to multisig signing.
- I have been active in the crypto space since 2016, participating in token launches, testing multiple distribution mechanisms and utilizing DeFi protocols as a token engineer
- In 2021–2022, I served as multisig keyholder of the Fraud Detection and Defense workstream at Gitcoin
- Between 2020–2024, I established security practices and managed keys for acquiring and distributing $1M in contributor rewards and fellowship grants
