Conflict of Interest
Kent is on the GMC and will abstain from voting on this grant.
Does the person or persons requesting the retrospective award have any conflicts of interest to disclose? (Please disclose here if you are a member of the GMC or if you have nominated a member of the GMC for this retrospective award).
Kent Philly also is a grant manager for BlockSwap DAO (StakeHouse Liquid ETH staking). Their community is small and wants to partner with Rocket Pool rETH holders so I see synergies while also acknowledging that there is conflict of interest.
Thank you.
