  • Amount of COW Tokens intended for Self-Delegation: 10k COW

Introduction

Passionate about blockchain and DeFi, active in the crypto space since 2017, with for the past years a specific focus on GnosisDAO initiatives, including CoW Protocol. Last year, I joined Gnosis to contribute directly to its ecosystem.

Experience

I’ve been involved in the crypto space for years, in crypto communities and also decentralized governance. I love jumping into discussions, sharing ideas, and helping align different initiatives within DAOs. I would consider myself passionate about DeFi, I’m excited about finding ways to support its growth and make it more accessible for everyone.

Involvement in the CoW ecosystem

Active member of the CoW ecosystem for over three years, contributing to its growth and governance. Notable contributions include:

  • Long-term engagement in the CoWmunity, particularly on Discord and the governance forum
  • Serving as a committee member of the CoW Grants DAO
  • Supporting community discussions and promoting ecosystem initiatives

Delegate motivation

I will use my experience to help CoW DAO grow and succeed. My goal is to represent COW token holders, push for decentralization, and ensure transparency. I want to help strengthen the DAO’s governance and work toward outcomes that truly benefit the community.

Conflicts of interest

I am currently a member of the CoW Grants Committee. Given the committee role in evaluating recognized delegate applications, I will recuse myself from any decisions or evaluations related to my own application to avoid any conflict of interest.

Hi Chim - awesome, thank you for posting your introduction.

Based on your shared Wallet Address, your Snapshot profile is: https://snapshot.box/#/s:cow.eth/profile/0xF44217A8b6b3f258BFFEaD635c226528aa516aea
→ would you include your Snapshot statement there? It’s the ultimate truth before someone decides to delegate :slight_smile: - you could also just link this intro post.

Note that currently Snapshot’s delegation page only show delegates that have at least one delegation (while they’re updating their features eventually, you might want a hack around this and delegate to that address).

If you’d like to be considered a “recognized” delegate, a recognition awarded by a Grants committee member, would you please link your application in this thread with a statement along the lines of “I would like to be considered a recognized delegate and commit to active participation in CoW DAO’s governance”

Next steps on our end would be more publicity around the program, which we’re aiming for in January. Excited to take CoW DAO’s governance to the next level!
