@T0xic_Potato

Pitch I have been in crypto since 2018, and I start here as a trader. I traded on EtherDelta, RadarRelay, BitMex, Deribit, and Binance. Since 2020 I’m full time in crypto, and this year, I built a few things: Hegic.Fans - this is an IoS/Android application that allows you to track your open position on hegic.co. Mythic Labs - this is a studio that created HEGIC and Yearn Finance hoodies for Decentraland. I have been a PERP staking participant since Jule 2021, and since November, I have been helping users in Discord and being Perpvangelist. I know how trading mechanics work (leverage, funding, orders, etc.), and I’m reading a lot about crypto-projects.

@Shogun

Nominated by @T0xic_Potato

Pitch: Fell in love with Perp in early 2021, I have contributed with the development of the Perp Community Bot on the Perp Telegram and Discord. In mid 2021, the GrantsDAO and the Perp Team, furthered my development for this project. Now has had over several thousand command calls, with a variety of features utilised for Perp Traders and Learners alike. I am eternally grateful for the team’s and community’s support throughout the development of the project, thanks! I have been in crypto since 2017, ended up working on the infrastructure side in 2020. Did not escape the Cryptopia hack, have narrowly missed a few rugpulls in DeFi. Participated in the PERPFECT Game, ranked 2nd in the Perp Team. Been an active contributor for Perp, with discussions and community support on the Discord and Telegram, also currently a member of the Perpvangelists. Also been in an active participant with bot development and governance for OlympusDAO (as well as apart of the Operations Team) and FujiDAO (the first onchain borrowing aggregator).

Steff

Pitch : invested in several DEX and CEX Perp exchanges / protocols, staking PERP since the early days (not in the wallet listed below). No experience yet in DAO governance, but plenty of experience in organization and governance of “traditional old world” organizations and extremely excited about DAOs. Also strong quantitative skills.

Fenix

Pitch: I am the founder and CEO of Teahouse Finance. Perpetual protocol has invested in Teahouse along with other notable VCs. We aim to drive market making for AMMs currently on UniSwap v3, and will soon launch on Perpetual Curie.

As a market maker, I wish to participate in aspects such as token-listing; providing Listing → Liquidity Provision service to new tokens and as a result, enrich the Perp ecosystem.

I have been a firm believer of Perp, and held my first AMA with the Perp team (and didn’t sell any investment from Perp thus far). This will be my first external DAO I participate in (besides my own Teahouse DAO) and I believe I will bring value and a unique perspective to the committee.

Anderson

Pitch : Hi! I’m an engineer and crypto holder. I started building in crypto and purchase my first BTC in 2014. I’m currently the co-founder and CTO of Coinomo. I know some members of the Perpetual protocol team and love what they are building. I can’t wait to help the Perp ecosystem and learn from this journey. Here are things I have built: - Dapp Pocket, a decentralized wallet app for Dapp & DeFi, acquired by Turn Capital - Ethereum Wallet SDK, one-line code to integrate all wallets, granted by Ethereum Foundation - Hammer Finance, a yield aggregator on Balancer, granted by Balancer - Coinomo, a crypto exchange and investment platform for SEA, invested by Vertex Venture, Razor zVenture, and Spartan Group - The DeFier Newsletter with 1500 subscribers

pitch: im a degenerate and will ape new coins from time to time. I have my ear on the ground? -I love to try out new protocols /mechanics
*i currently work as a data analyst/Competitive intelligence analyst (about to retire tho)

Chris G.

Pitch:

  • Passionate about Perpetual Protocol being the #1 choice for people looking for a truly decentralized perpetual futures protocol (dydx is not truly decentralized even though they claim to be).
  • Fairly new to crypto with my first purchase being ETH back in January 2021.
  • Active user of Perpetual Protocol v1 on xDai.
  • Was a participant in the PERPFECT Game (Team Perp) on Arbitrum testnet.
  • Active Staker of Perp since May 2021.
  • Active Participant in decentralized protocols Aave, Abracadabra Money, Wonderland Finance, Perpetual Protocol, Beefy Finance, Yield Yak, 1inch, Opium Finance, Zapper Fi
  • Spend countless hours researching the crypto space, and am well aware of upcoming competitors to the space. For example GMX is trending up in a fast way, and Perp needs to introduce new features to stay ahead of upcoming competition (i.e. GMX will offer decentralized stables like MIM to be used as collateral in addition to USDC)
  • Spend a lot of time watching videos of Crypto Twitter participants (i.e. Trader Mayne, Crypto Cred, Don Alt, Rego, etc.) to learn how to become a better and more patient trader.

McKenna

Pitch:

I would like to nominate myself to head the Token Listing DAO for Perpetual Protocol. I have been involved with PERP since day 1 purchasing my stack at $1 all of which is still fully staked and produced the very first research reports on the protocol which was shared by Jeremy Allaire CEO of Circle. I’m a derivatives trader and a DeFi analyst highly in-tune with the market plus a Solidity Developer. I was also the first referral for Perpetual Protocol and built up the referral traders with sizeable names from the crypto trading community. I’ve offered insights on the vAMM and layer-2 scalability solutions to the team and have been working with them since April. Based on the above I think I am an excellent fit to lead the Token Listing DAO for Perpetual Protocol and would like to nominate myself for the position.

Ayer

Pitch:
I was nominated as a candidate by @McKenna among the group of traders and analysts he aims to lead for the DAO.
I currently manage a 8 figures book at a crypto prop fund. I first participated in the LBP and then kept building our position over the last fall, all tokens are still staked. PERP is also one of the largest holdings in my personal book.

I’m a very active defi market participant with a strong focus on fundamental analysis, so I believe I can bring a lot of experience to help with token listings. I’m looking forward to the upcoming v2, in particular uni v3 type of strategies

Admittedly I haven’t been as active as other builders, traders and members of the community but I’ve always followed very closely all the developments and I’m very excited to help and take part in the growth of Perpetual

Hey I also present my candidacy!

@Eagle - Eagle#2979

I am a BanklessDAO core contributor located in Europe. In particular, I am the coordinator of the BanklessDAO Legal Guild. I am a Legal Professional who loves crypto and finance. That’s what brought me to be interested in PERP.

I had the occasion to write an article about Curie on the BanklessDAO medium (Perpetual’s v2 “Curie”: A Nobel Prize for DeFi Applications? | by eaglelex | Bankless DAO | Oct, 2021 | Medium).

I am a PERP tokenholder, bullish on Curie V2. More flexibility and speed in the token-listing procedure may really create a complete new value-proposition.

Jesus Perez

Pitch:
I am the Founder of Crypto Plaza, I study computer engineering and works mostly in Finance. In Crypto since 2013 and in the rabbit hole of DeFi from the talks about the concept and how name it. Spanish Ambassador of MakerDAO and trading in AMM from the first version on Uniswap. Fan of the Virtual AMM architecture that I really think is going to overcome AMM. Helping to translate the spanish versión of Perpetual

Member of several DAOs, like Metacartel, MakerDAO, PieDAO, Stacker Ventures,… and found Crypto Plaza DAO. In the 28th position of DAO People Deep DAO - Insights for a Decentralized World

Perp token holder in the both version of the staking. Really bullish about permisionless derivatives.

I think is important to have people from different language to facilitate people that have problem with english. Spanish is the third language in Internet.

Encantado de poder participar como miembro y ayudar a entender mejor este excelente protocolo.

perpmaxi

Pitch: I would like to nominate myself to join the Token Listing DAO for Perpetual Protocol. I’m an active DeFi trader and governance participant, joined numerous governance processes such as Yam Finance’s migration to v2, Yearn’s proposal to mint YFI and fund contributors and the treasury etc. I first got involved with PERP in the LBP last year, been using the product and trading since v1 on xDai, participated in the PERPFECT game and have held or staked all of my PERP. So far I have been rather quiet in the community, but once I saw the Token Listing Sub-DAO announcement, I knew it’s time to step up and be more active in helping PERP. I’m also in close touch with a couple of large PERP holders and together we want to contribute to PERP’s governance. Shout out to folks like McKenna and cubantobacco who have been actively evangelizing PERP to the rest of the crypto community.
