UPDATE 2024: At SEED Latam, we are a constantly evolving community, dynamically adapting to ecosystem transformations to continue providing value and a critical vision, as expressed in our presentation in the Delegates Commitments thread almost two years ago in the Collective.
We have grown and evolved, iterating just like the Collective does. Transitioning from DeFi LATAM to SEED Latam, we have expanded our reach and reaffirmed our commitment to supporting communities and leaders in Latin America. Throughout 2022 and 2023, we organized over 15 governance calls with the participation of 161 individuals. In each community meeting, we shared updates and discussed governance and protocol proposals, inviting members of the Optimism Collective (delegates, builders, among others) to promote the Optimistic Vision.
Looking ahead to the new year, with the expansion of governance and new responsibilities as delegate (Anticapture Commission, Joxes position on Grants Council, among other tasks), and maintaining the collaborative spirit that characterizes us, we have integrated new members into the team to stay current with Optimism’s governance.
The new team members who will contribute and accompany us on this journey are:
-
@Manugotsuka: Electrical Engineer. Researcher in L2 en Español, specifically on articles related to Ethereum’s scaling solutions, including Optimism news. He contributes to governance for SEED Latam, where he has assisted the Arbitrum delegation in various functions such as community calls, proposal drafting, and decision-making. He is also part of the team that forms the “Education, Community Growth, and Events” domain, responsible for evaluating and allocating grants to boost the Arbitrum ecosystem. Now he collaborates with supporting Optimism’s Anticapture Commission responsibilities by assisting the delegation with specific tasks.
-
@Pumbi: Business Administration. Head of Content at Solow and Team Leader of Optimism en Español. Deeply involved in the Optimism ecosystem, he is part of the Ambassadors, Translators, and Support NERDs program. He is collaborating in the day-to-day activities of the delegation, such as in the Mission Request tracking.
-
@habacuc.eth: Innovation and Development Engineer with Master’s in Technology Management. R&D at Zenbit.eth, a digital laboratory. Since 2020, he has developed several web3 prototypes with OSS, with 2 projects presented at the Innovation in Transparency Contest 2022 and 2023 organized by the National Institute of Transparency, Access to Information (INAI). He documented the process in the article “DAO Cities: Decentralizing city data and governance using Web3,” published in Mexico Transparente magazine of the National Transparency System in Mexico. He participated as a “Catalyst” in the ReFi DAO and has organized workshops and presentations on web3 in the city of Querétaro. He contributes to supporting Joxes in tasks related to Missions and Grants Council.
With this renewed team, we will cover our responsibilities, continue contributing to the Collective and continue spreading the Optimistic Vision worldwide. We want to express our gratitude to the team that accompanied us in previous seasons: @NicoProducto, @Netrim, @Jadmat, and @CryptoChica, with whom we shared throughout the past seasons. Thanks to their dedication, we have stayed updated with all governance decisions and shared them with the community.
We will also change the focus of governance calls, which we have conducted continuously during previous seasons. In a few weeks, we will announce the changes.
Finally, we want to thank everyone who is part of the Optimistic Collective and our community for accompanying us. We hope to continue providing a different voice and perspective to governance. Stay Optimistic!
