ENS name: coday.eth
My reasons for wanting to be a delegate:
I've been participating in DAOs and web3 communities for years but have never officially become a delegate. I believe ENS is a core pillar of the Ethereum and Web3 ecosystem and I am extremely excited to take a more active role in governing how this base layer infrastructure can be expanded. Identity is a key component in the future we are building and ENS will play a very important role.
I have been working for Gitcoin for almost 3 years now, and in my view, ENS is a public good we all need to support and collaborate with.
My view on each section of the proposed ENS Constitution
- Name ownership is an absolute right: (Agree/Disagree/Comment)
Agree - enforcing property rights (physical and digital) is critical to building a functional society, only now we can do so with code, not violence.
- Registration fees exist as an incentive mechanism: (Agree/Disagree/Comment)
Agree - similar to gas costs on Ethereum, fees prevent the tragedy of the commons.
- Income funds ENS and other public goods: (Agree/Disagree/Comment)
Agree - ENS is a clear public good and needs a treasury to support ongoing development. Additionally, other public goods in the Web3 space need to support each other and collaborate.
- ENS Integrates with the global namespace: (Agree/Disagree/Comment)
Agree - build more bridges to convert Web2 into Web3 (but without retracting the value and power of native ENS domains.
My web3 qualifications / skills:
- Bitcoin investor, researcher, miner since 2013
- Economics and Computer Science double major
- Early experimenter with Solidity and Eth Dapps before mainnet went live
- Began mining Ethereum on launch day, 2015
- 6 years (2015 - 2021) working at ConsenSys on various early-stage Ethereum projects
- 3 years (2018 - present) working at Gitcoin to grow Web3 & open source, support public goods
