My reasons for wanting to be a delegate:

Hop protocol is extremely central to Ethereum’s rollup-centric future with users seamlessly moving funds between different chains all secured by Ethereum. As one of the co-founders of Arbitrum, I feel personally responsible for making sure that bridge’s which our ecosystem are heavily intertwined with are as successful as possible.

My web3 qualifications / skills:

I’m co-founder and CTO of Offchain Labs (building Arbitrum). I’ve been in the space since 2014 as a researcher studying the mechanism design and incentive compatible of various blockchain systems. For the past 5 years I’ve been working on developing Arbitrum, starting out as the lead engineer through now where I lead the engineering team. I’ve been excited about scaling and bridging since I got started in the space looking at early HTLC designs and I’d be excited to contribute thoughts and insights from my experience.

What voters can expect of me:

I will thoughtfully consider all proposals and try to make decisions that benefit the long term success of Hop. My personal interests, and the interests I hope to represent are to make sure that Hop is successful in providing the powerful, seamless, reliable experience users need to safely navigate the cross-chain world. I will be transparent and communicate openly through my decision making process so that the community can stay as informed as possible.
