Hey everyone! I’m interested in being a committee member and will post a bit more about my background below. I agree w/ @shumwhere on the 300 PERP grant potentially being too high, especially when we haven’t properly sussed out how much of a time commitment the work is likely to be and how effective the proposed set-up is. I’d be happy to be a committee member for any amount of PERP or just totally waive the stipend altogether if that’s judged to be the best and I’d rather air on the side of caution with compensation until we can ascertain how much tangible value a committee member would bring.
Some more info. on me:
- Currently a senior researcher at Menai Financial Group — a crypto trading firm and asset management firm. I spend most of my time working on our investment ideas for our hedge fund.
- Previously started the research team at 21Shares — a $1B+ AUM crypto ETP issuer — and was active in some of our DeFi initiatives (leveraged tokens in early 2020)
- Was a founding team member of the Hashmasks NFT project and worked alongside the original two founders to lead BD, marketing, and social media-related efforts. I also started a community grants program for Hashamasks to relative success
I’ve been involved in the PERP community since the early days and I’m really excited as we begin to build out our community in the run-up to the launch of V2. I think I could be a strong addition to the committee and I’m happy to answer any questions anyone has.
