Introduction
Staworth Limited is a new DAO service company that aims to deliver value-aligned and committed service to a handful of DAOs which ignite our passion.
Our model aims to accumulate governance power and align incentives by reinvesting a proportion of all revenue into the DAOs that we serve.
Alongside non-reserved legal services, Staworth contributes actively to its DAOs by leading governance initiatives, providing copywriting and opinion pieces, and analysing financial performance, among other activities.
Jack is an English law solicitor by training, now focusing full time on supporting and building DAOs.
Delegate Motivation
In truth, we are relatively new to Gnosis DAO and only beginning to grow our involvement in its governance. Having only started in DeFi in 2022, it is a steep learning curve to grow from user, to contributor, to leading DAO member. Finding the communities that really pull you in takes time!
With that said, Staworth loves Gnosis . The community’s ceaseless pursuit of innovation in so many areas is deeply inspiring and ignites our passion to contribute. From Chain, to Pay, to Hashi, through Safe, CoW, karpatkey and Guild, Gnosis truly embodies the spirit of innovation in DeFi. And so it’s an ecosystem that we really want to invest our time and effort into.
From our initial involvement in various discussions across the DAO, we feel there is a huge amount to sink our teeth into, and also a need for more new and emerging delegates to step up their role. Though there are many excellent seasoned participants in the DAO, we hope that a fresh face, with some bold ambition and a background of novel experience will provide material value to the DAO’s governance, and prove an effective delegate that’s worthy of your votes.
In particular, Staworth looks to bring an experienced set of eyes on issues around legal risk, liability and regulatory compliance. We deliver value through detailed review and investigation of the circumstances of governance, and aim to take a lead on issues that touch on legal risk to help safely navigate the DAO through these difficult areas.
Where selected as a delegate, we pledge to:
-
Sustain a voting record of no less than 95% participation throughout;
-
Provide complete communication as well as detailed quarterly reports to this delegate platform post to summarise recent activity and public positions on key issues affecting the DAO;
-
Invest part of the company’s revenue into $GNO to match delegations with our own voting power and “skin in the game”; and
-
Seek further opportunities to support and contribute to the DAO, its members and the Gnosis ecosystem.
Areas of expertise
Jack’s background in professional legal services offers a wealth of experience that can be unusual or hard to find in Web 3.0. This includes navigating legal, commercial and pragmatic issues around large-scale corporate and trading arrangements, advising client in relation to regulatory requirements, risks and enforcement, and experience in handling complex litigation and disputes in senior course, all across both UK and international markets.
In terms of Web 3.0, Jack has been a key contributor to Beefy DAO since 2022. This includes a wealth of experience leading governance initiatives, pursuing large-scale grant and incentive programmes, creating the financial reporting function, and contributing regular blog publications and press releases. He also frequently attends conferences and events around the world to spread the good word of Beefy.

Conflicts of Interest

- to provide full disclosure and details of the potential conflict in the comments to this delegate platform;
- to caveat any public comments on the relevant area(s) with details of the potential conflict; and
- to abstain from voting on issues where Staworth’s interests do or are likely to genuinely conflict with those of Gnosis DAO.
