Blockworks Research
Nomination Statement
DAOs are the future of human coordination. Blockworks Research’s mission is to enable DAOs to reach their full potential by helping inform protocol structure, strategy, treasury spending, and community development. Our team of analysts has extensive first-hand knowledge and experience in crypto through daily usage and analysis. We like to define ourselves as analysts that are “in the trenches” of crypto. There’s no sector that should be left unchecked, and DAOs receive little attention, despite being behind a lot of the driving force behind different improvements placed on the protocol level.
As a delegate, we have read and understood the process and expectations for this delegate program and wish to be included on the ballot for nomination. [This application does not meet the requirements and seeks sponsorship. Thanks for your consideration.]
