Alignment Statement
Both philosophically and economically, I am aligned with Rocket Pool. My descent into the crypto world was based on a desire to create a more equitable world where individuals didn’t face discrimination in the process of just accessing the financial world. I have written about the inherent subjectivity of blockchain technology in that code is a reflection of values. I believe Rocket Pool is a strong reflection of my own values. Economically, I have been the beneficiary of several gifts and a GMC grant and so the success of Rocket Pool is in my best interests.
Conflict Statement
I hold small allocations of LDO and JTO. Further, I occasionally field questions from other LSD protocols. However, I received an OG Diva airdrop and am a major voting delegate in the DIVA DAO at roughly 1m delegation.
Identity Statement
My name is Jaspreet Kalsi. I am a 25 26-year-old living in New Jersey. I’ve posted a variety of personal details around and if someone wanted to doxx me they very easily could. Despite this, I prefer to operate under a pseudonym. I study medicine at Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine.
Contribution Statement
Most of my contributions are summarized in my retroactive award application found here.
My first term on the IMC was focused on the public relations/business development aspect of the IMC. I, alongside Val, would act as go-betweens for chats with protocols whether on telegram, twitter, or (rarely) discord. I fancy myself as a ‘signer of last resort’ and my focus is on engagement over transactions.
My role on the Twitter Spaces offers a natural confluence as I interface with potential and existing partners regularly for the entire community to watch and ask questions.
Additional Information
I am an Ethereum ecosystem maxi and will operate with that bias - for example, I am immediately skeptical of things originating from BSC, Avax, or Sol. I believe this bias of mine should be publicly known.
Further, medical school occasionally places great demands on my time and so my contributions can be relatively ‘bursty.’
