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

Based on your shared Wallet Address, your Snapshot profile is: https://snapshot.box/#/s:cow.eth/profile/0xA11DA8B2D9A7883eb636d7de426025e5fD9fda1A

  • would you include your Snapshot statement there? It’s the ultimate truth before someone decides to delegate :slight_smile:

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’d love for your review 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!
