2023-03 IMC Nomination Thread

Alignment Statement

I believe that a decentralized validator set is crucial for Ethereum’s success and that Rocket Pool can play an important role in getting us there. I have been urging for liquidity incentives since 2021 and still believe that they are essential for the success of the protocol.

Conflict Statement

I don’t have any professional conflicts. I don’t hold any significant crypto assets besides ETH and RPL at the moment.

Identity Statement

I prefer to remain pseudonymous.

Contribution Statement

I joined the Rocket Pool discord in May 2021. I have consistently participated in discussions about liquidity incentives for a long time and helped with technical details of the Curve pool for rETH/wstETH. Other contributions to Rocket Pool include:

  • designed Removal of rETH lock and contributed to Smoothing Pool design included in Redstone
  • identified multiple bugs in the smart contracts and smartnode
  • currently working on GMC-funded oDAO research

Additional Information

Post Atlas, incentive efficiency will be crucial. I would like to help the IMC explore optimization potential using different bribing markets and how to best deploy the existing IMC funds.
