## Introduction

I am a member of the [CowDAO Grants Committee](https://grants.cow.fi/CoW-Grants-DAO-8c75d9e77e1144d99963913bfd839926) focused on ecosystem growth and governance. I have been helping out CowDAO since inception as an active member of the community and forum Moderator.

## Experience

I’ve been involved in the crypto space for years, before Ethereum existed (wow, I’m old), and have been helping crypto communities with decentralized governance, like [SafeDAO](https://forum.safe.global/t/sep-6-safe-grants-program-sgp/3213).

## Involvement in the CoW ecosystem

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

- Serving as a committee member of the CoW Grants DAO.
- Serving as a CowDAO forum Moderator.
- Community engagement, particularly on Discord and the governance forum.
- Some successful proposals I have created are:
  - 🐄 [CIP-4: COW liquidity incentive program](https://snapshot.org/#/cow.eth/proposal/0x5a4161240bf90f98c407b14e757ec15eeee6ed88d7be26d08a274308c7fe5c5f)
  - 🐄 [CIP-5: Enable Swapping of vCOW to COW](https://snapshot.org/#/cow.eth/proposal/0x7f2d0e26225fec1dd19ae4870532a09014a69f2d973dde0a7b8296d556f221df)
  - 🐄 [CIP-8: CowDAO Grants Program](https://snapshot.box/#/s:cow.eth/proposal/0xdc641be107f139753cea051f1bacb8b74b915713a95306c3994f5e03e20d6bef)

# Delegate motivation

My goal is to continue advocating for COW token holders interests, strengthen CowDAO, and promote transparency in process.

# 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 netrunner - awesome, thank you for posting your introduction 🙂

Based on your shared Wallet Address, your Snapshot profile is: [https://snapshot.box/#/s:cow.eth/profile/0xc95Fda8A94437c1B936169b62858F13aE0386307](https://snapshot.box/#/s:cow.eth/profile/0xc95Fda8A94437c1B936169b62858F13aE0386307)  
Would you write your statement their (you could also link this intro) - it’s the ultimate truth before someone delegates to you…

Note that currently [Snapshot’s delegation page](https://snapshot.box/#/s:cow.eth/delegates) only shows 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](https://forum.cow.fi/t/recognised-delegates-scheme/2688) 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”**

As a recognised delegate, we would ask you to dedicate 10k COW in your voting address to signal alignment.

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! See you in 2025
