Hello,
I’m Phil, in Discord and Farcaster I got the tag philcares, and I have been serving as IMC member for the last term. Frankly, it was a pretty good experience. Many highly knowledgable RP members are part of the IMC team, we had/have a great working ethos, and I learned a lot about web3 protocols. The workload was/is okay, having in mind that Val really carries the group and its tasks. I have quite some respect for what he does and accomplishes.
My main focus was to hold true to ethereum´s and RP´s values, e.g. by voting against using BSC, and to keep the IMC´s scope simple. I favor having strong partnerships and simple, good communication as well as steadiness over squeezing the last bits of efficiency. At the end of the day I mainly tried/try to be an active signer and to respond whenever needed.
Alignment Statement
I am now a member of Rocketpool since May 2020. That´s four years, crazy how the time flies and dunno how many points I already recieved by reading Darcius medium posts.
I am holding RPL ever since. And I´m quite active on discord. Next to RPL, Im also holding ETH.
Im aligned with RP and Ethereum due to its values of decentralization, permissionless nature and commitment to open-source. I think RP´biggest strength is the pDAO + vast amount of node operators.
Conflict Statement
Im not holding any other tokens, nor am I involved with other protocols than stated above.
Identity Statement
I´m Phil, 30 years and energy/CFD engineer. I now work as a full-time investor. I´d like to stay pseudoanonymous but am also happy to answer any questions about me when necessary.
Contribution Statement
I answered that mostly above. I wanna add here that I would like to dive more into TG chats/BD if time allows it.
I certainly think there are people who would be more active/involved and maybe more steering, and definitely more knowledgeable. But with what I can do, I am looking forward to serve another term on the IMC!
