Pitch Summary (One-liner): I will leverage my skills and experience as a delegate for both MakerDAO and TrueFi to ensure grant proposals provide accountability and a strong value add to dYdX, while aiding applicants in properly developing their proposals to fit the needs of the protocol.
Detailed Pitch:
I have worked as a delegate for both MakerDAO and Truefi, where I operated in a fast-pace environment evaluating a wide variety of requests for funding, covering everything from marketing to UI development to allocation of protocol controlled assets. During this time, I tirelessly worked to get clarity on how funds would be used and how each budget requester could be held accountable to provide value to MakerDAO. I also maintained a newsletter. codeknight. substack .com/, where I would provide short-form reports to MKR holders cover important changes within the protocol.
I will bring that same approach to dYdX. I will work to ensure grants have clear accountability for both quality and timeliness, that they fit with the dYdX roadmap, and have objective milestones built in. I will also work to streamline the process where possible, in order to make the complete grants process easy to understand and monitor.
