Statement of Intent

My background / qualifications:

I have a robust background in web2 projects with extensive experience in software development and project management(Verizon) and a deep passion for cryptocurrency. In the web3 realm, I have been actively participating in the crypto market since 2016-2017, DeFi & showcasing my proficiency in smart contract development and blockchain technologies. I’ve helped as Senior Ambassador at Polkadot (Acala) and as a member of the zk-dev community focusing on nodes running. Since Seamless started I’m Ambassador and delegate at the protocol.

My technical expertise and active participation in DAO governance, coupled with a strong grasp of blockchain mechanics, positions me well to understand and address the technological challenges faced by the Seamless community.

What I find most exciting about Seamless/Seamless community:

The community’s innovative approach to DeFi is truly inspiring. Seamless’s unique solutions and the forward-thinking mindset of its members are revolutionizing how we think about decentralization.

My reasons for wanting to serve on the SCGP Council:

I became part of the Seamless community as one of the first 50 Discord members, demonstrating my early belief in the project by confidently sending funds to a wallet address in the BNB network without any confirmation
I have been an active member of the Seamless community since the date of its creation. I believe that after the fair launch SeamlessDAO need to focus on building its ecosystem. Grants proved to be one of the most efficient ways to attract developers and projects to build with/on top of a protocol.

I’ve been a part of the Seamless community right from its early days, being one of the first 50 to join the Discord, a testament to my early faith in its potential. This wasn’t just passive interest; I actively demonstrated my commitment by being one of the early investors-testers, even before many formalities were established. My active involvement has continued since the very beginning of Seamless. I firmly believe that now, especially after its successful and fair launch, the focus for SeamlessDAO should be on nurturing and expanding its ecosystem. In my view, the strategic use of grants is key to attracting talented developers and exciting projects, which can build upon and enhance the Base protocol’s capabilities

I confirm that:

  • I am willing and able to participate in the Council and understand this would be an ongoing role that requires active participation: Agree
  • I understand that, if there are council members, they would be unpaid volunteers: Agree
  • I understand that the work of a Council member is a significant commitment: Agree
  • I testify that I will have no formal relations with or receive payments from any of the grants seekers. If any conflict of interest occurs I will immediately notify the DAO: Agree
