Nomination Statement
Areta Governance specializes in supporting DAOs and foundations to establish and grow decentralized governance structures. We develop tailored solutions in governance inception and optimization, ecosystem growth, and service provider selection. Our connected investment bank with deep strategic expertise, enables us to serve our partners holistically, rather than working in isolated governance silos.
We have had the privilege to work for some of the leading companies and DAOs in the crypto space (Safe, Uniswap, Arbitrum, Aave, and dYdX). Examples of our work include managing a larger Aave delegation, setting up key contributor initiatives for Safe DAO, leading the first cross-ecosystem growth initiative for Uniswap and Arbitrum, and crypto-native transactions like the first acquisition of Coingecko or the sale of Solscan to Etherscan.
As long-term supporters of Gnosis and contributors to SafeDAO, we are well-versed in the Gnosis ecosystem and its stakeholders, including key groups like Gnosis Guild and many of the larger delegates.
Over the last year, we have supported key initiatives for SafeDAO with dedicated teams:
- Key Contributor Initiative (CES): In an effort to support SafeDAO’s key contributor initiative OBRA, we developed a contribution efficiency system that enables the DAO to operate seamlessly, enhancing transparency and elevating process standards to an institutional level.

- Token Liquidity Event: We supported SafeDAO as a key partner in the token liquidity event with in-depth analyses, process support, and collaboration with large parts of the team. We acted as process lead, sounding board, and governance facilitator. (Link: Forum Post)
- Among the most active contributors: We have supported the DAO with analyses and thorough feedback on key initiatives on and off the forum. We are active on all governance calls, providing feedback and strengthening the DAO’s decision-making processes. (Link: Forum Profile)
We are confident in expanding our valued relationship in the Gnosis ecosystem, enhancing our value creation and providing essential support to GnosisDAO to strengthen its governance.
