With the launch of the delegate platform, I will now delegate my personal voting power to the governance.staworth.eth delegate voting address.
For transparency on my prior voting record, I set out below the recent proposals I have voted on and my reasoning for the vote.
Proposal: GIP-93
Vote: For
Reasoning: An obvious win-win to improve bridging security and support Hashi (as an ecosystem project).
Proposal: GIP-94
Vote: For
Reasoning: Following the support and success of GIP-91, the proposed arrangements to progress with onboarding Centrifuge Prime and for expanding access to RWAs seem novel and suitable, and worth supporting.
Proposal: GIP-95
Vote: For
Reasoning: karpatkey have delivered enormous value for the DAO in their work to date. Expandin their service mandate to cover RWAs is an exciting prospect, especially as other arrangements under GIP-94 push us forward in the same direction.
Proposal: GIP-96
Vote: For
Reasoning: The proposed to allow the Centrifuge Prime legal conduit to handle other illiquid investments seems like a no-brainer. With the administrative arrangements already in place, this limited scope extension provides greater security in managing those investments.
Proposal: GIP-97
Vote: For
Reasoning: The inclusion of the Safe <> Gnosis joint treasury within karpatkey’s remit is a natural and obvious choice, and will enable these assets to benefit from karpatkey’s existing work.
Proposal: GIP-98
Vote: For
Reasoning: Security and privacy are other verticals that are essential to the development of Web 3.0. Strengthening the ongoing relationship with HOPR and supporting further development seems like an attractive use of the requested investment.
Proposal: GIP-100
Vote: Supported But Did Not Vote
Reasoning: Unfortunately, due to issues with attempted delegations, we were deprived of voting power for this proposal. Nonetheless, we engaged with the prior discussion, showing support but questioning if the scale of the program could be altered to make it more appealing to sceptical voices.
Proposal: GIP-101
Vote: For
Reasoning: Diversification of governance is vital to maintaining a strong and stable DAO. StableLab and karpatkey have demonstrating the value of delegation programs in many other DAOs and this effort should be welcomed to Gnosis as well. We are pleased to throw our hat in the ring as delegates for this proposal.
Proposal: GIP-102
Vote: For
Reasoning: Expressed initial scepticism about the draft proposal, but obtained reassurance about the prior planning, involvement of Gnosis LTD and reasons for raising to the DAO. Generally supportive of all efforts to invest further in innovation and entrepreneurship across the Gnosis ecosystem.
Proposal: GIP-104
Vote: For
Reasoning: The Shutterized Gnosis Chain is in need of additonal awareness and adoption, and a range of different initiatives are needed to support this. As a frequent attendee of major events, we can see the value in using them to expand awareness and engagement.
Proposal: GIP-105
Vote: For
Reasoning: As a fan of beaconcha.in’s explorers and supportive of the importance of open and accessible information about validators, the value added by this service warrants the additional expenditure. Was pleased to see the integration fee converted into an investment to address concerns.
