Statement of Intention:
_ works across the wider Ethereum ecosystem to build bottom-up communities which support positive sum games. As long time donors and participants of the Gitcoin ecosystem, we’re excited to participate and explore ways in which Stewards can further propagate the support of public goods.
We’re passionate about the core tenants of true community ownership and look forward to using the Stewards program as a way to increase voter turnout and have more engaged conversations around key cornerstones of Ethereum like Gitcoin Grants.
Qualifications:
_ is one of the most active protocol politicians in web3. Having passed on-chain proposals for Aave, Balancer, and Rocket Pool, we strive to be active in and engaged across all projects pushing the governance needle forward.
We were a partner in the latest Funder’s League and have worked closely with a vast majority of the communities that have thrived thanks to Gitcoin-based activations like Grants, Hackathons and bounties.
Our members - Myself, Lucas Campbell, James Waugh and Callum Gladstone - have all lived and breathed web3 for the past five years and now find ourselves in a strong position to relay exciting developments, trends and ideas to strengthen Gitcoin’s foothold.
More concrete skills include strategy, communication, community development and incentive design.
We look forward to being a part of the Gitcoin Stewards!

Statement of Intention / Your Values & Reasons for Joining
We’re witnessing the opening moments of a multi-decade shift from legacy hierarchies and institutions to grassroots value networks. Ethereum has been and will likely remain the epicenter for this shift - however, our network will need its own mechanisms to maintain Public Goods. Over the past few years, Gitcoin has demonstrated its uncompromising commitment towards this vision. I’ve been happy to contribute DAI each round, as well as offering consistent feedback to the team. Joining as a Steward means I get to directly participate in the evolution of Gitcoin - an incredible opportunity to build the machine that builds the machine. There are few things more exciting than framing our collective future in Ethereum, working side by side with the rest of you
I’m most interested in Meta-Governance, Public Goods Funding, Progressive Decentralization, and Special Projects.

ETH Address: 0xA30Ab83e693Ad49F3F651085DaD11d049c818923
Statement of Intention / Your Values & Reasons for Joining
I have dedicated my career to creating social impact. I started with work in the humanitarian sector with Doctors Without Borders, doing field work in Central Africab Republic, running a fundraising team, and sitting on the board of directors. Since getting into blockchain, I have been focused less on supporting existing organizations, and more on supporting models that break the structures those organizations are built on. That is why I am passionate about Gitcoin. I have both contributed to, and received funds from Gitcoin grants, have mentored at the Kernel incubator, and I am currently working on an adaptation of Quadratic Funding with the Gitcoin team called Quadratic Trust. I would be honoured to take on a more significant role in the governance of Gitcoin.
Your Web3 Qualifications / Skills
I have been in the blockchain space since 2012, working at startups including Decentral, Ledger Labs, and ixo Foundation. My recent focus has been on education - I am Faculty with Singularity University, teaching entrepreneurs how to use exponential technologies like blockchains to solve problems that impact 1 billion people. This summer, I will be teaching a course on Blockchain-based Business Models for Social Impact at the Questrom School of Business. This year I published “Bitcoin and the Future of Fundraising”, a book to guide charities through setting up crypto donation programs. I have mentored and judged at EthDenver, am part of MGD DAO and have spoken at crypto events around the world.
Thank you for your consideration to have me as a steward.
statement of intent:
Organizing decentralized governance communities and managing these processes can be extremely overwhelming. At the very least, it’s shown to be much more difficult than any of us have anticipated when it comes to facilitating fruitful debates or coordinating proposals & voting. My goal is to help coalesce highly engaged community members around activation events where people can functionally discuss progression (definition & how-to) so that decisioning happens more often than the status quo.
web3 qualifications/skills:
I’ve been involved in helping steer public goods funding from several facets (EF, EF->gitcoin, UNI grants, and more). I have also been a longstanding mentor for grantees & kernel projects, but recognize that my skills are not as expansive or critical as others in the thread above me! What my expertise does lend itself to is helping to see things from a different perspective and help to empower people in different ways.
ETH Address: 0xd9ffaF2e880dF0cc7B7104e9E789d281a81824cf
Statement of Intention / Your Values & Reasons for Joining: I deeply believe that the web3 tech and governance stack we are building has the power to reshape the world in better and more just ways for all people. I would like to join the Stewardship program because I see Gitcoin as a shining example of how we can start making these changes and I want to help it succeed. The mission, ethics, and shipping of the Gitcoin team are inspiring and I hope to spread this ethos and its impact far and wide.
Your Web3 Qualifications / Skills: I began my crypto exploration in 2013 and have been living in the rabbit hole of the Ethereum ecosystem full time since 2018. My biggest focus has been working with the BrightID team to bring privacy preserving proof of digital uniqueness to the Web3 world. I built a deep appreciation for the Gitcoin team while building out the BrightID integration for Gitcoin Grants with them.
I am a founding member of a bunch of DAOs including BrightID, The LAO, Flamingo, and WhalerDAO and a member of many others. In these DAOs I focus largely on governance, community, and mission. While I sadly lack the technical skills of the amazing builders around me, I have had success acting as a translator helping people understand and appreciate the tools we are building and the potential we are unlocking. I am all about inspiration, collaboration, decentralization, and changing the status quo.
Statement of Intention / Your Values & Reasons for Joining: When human beings find themselves in a brand new country, one of the first things they do is blaze trails through the forest. Future generations follow those paths which eventually become the country’s roads and super highways. Web 3.0 is a brand new country. I’d like to help blaze the first paths through the woods. Open source funding is a particularly thorny patch of the landscape, so I’m attracted there clearing this patch is of paramount importance to the future success of the entire space. My specific area of interest is promoting a deeper understanding of and involvement with the data being produced by these system – for the community, as opposed for the developers.
Your Web3 Qualifications / Skills: I’ve been engaged with the crypto world since first encountering Bitcoin in 2013. I got deeply involved in Ethereum in late 2015 / early 2016 when I first heard about “The DAO.” Since then, I’ve been working on TrueBlocks, a project investigating methods to help communities permissionlessly acquire and analyze their own data without the need for a third-party, including the developers of the community. I was a 2018 recipient of an Ethereum Foundation grant for my work and continue work on the same project.
Statement of Intention / Your Values & Reasons for Joining
I am interested in participating in Gitcoin governance as a way to give back my experience as both grantee and grantor of various Ethereum based ecosystem program. I believe that I have a good understanding of what ecosystem support developers seek through my experience of participating in various hackathons and receiving grants and bounties.
Also as an ENS team member, I would like to take this opportunity to strengthen the relationship between Gitcoin and ENS.
Gitcoin Username:@andytudhope ETH Address: thebluebook.eth
Statement of Intention / Your Values & Reasons for Joining
I am not very interested in governance. I am very interested in responsibility. What public goods we should care about and what kinds of behaviour we should promote are both fascinating, open-ended questions. Maybe it’s not about finding answers, but rather engaging in productive p2p dialogues? I have some experience seeding such things and I am happy to play a role on this particular stage.
Credible neutrality is equally critical. It requires a unique mix of technical nous and a total lack of ego. The most reliable way I know towards both is service and I am honoured to be given the chance to practice that here.
What Web3 Qualifications / Skills I Have
I’ve helped in some communities since before Ethereum, written some stuff over the years, designed and implemented a unique token curation system for DApps, worn some really colourful pants and generally helped share a good deal of rainbow unicorn love.

My vision
I want working for the open internet to be a reality for more people. Funding public goods occupies more of my world-changing thoughts than anything else, and Gitcoin has been an inspiration to me.
How I’d like to help
I’d like to help integrate any innovations in sybil protection that come from BrightID into Gitcoin, and help steward our community toward greater decentralization, following some of the lessons learned in the past year from CLR.fund.
Statement of Intention / Your Values & Reasons for Joining
I’d like to participate in Gitcoin governance to support progressive decentralization, help fund public goods, and give back to the Ethereum ecosystem.
Your Web3 Qualifications / Skills

Statement of intention / values & reason for joining: I really resonate with Gitcoin’s goals. Public goods funding, among other things, attracted me to crypto. When I left a traditional job to work full-time in crypto, grants from MetaCartel and, later, Gitcoin helped me get started. Gitcoin helps people serve multiple protocols and communities - something people should have the ability to do. I know developers in India who now have financial freedom from completing Gitcoin bounties. I have participated in Gitcoin Kernel and gotten a lot of value from the community. I’ve thought a lot about on-chain reputation and think Gitcoin can help people break out of the shackles of their social graph and financial situation. I hope to help Gitcoin achieve these goals as a delegate/steward.
What qualifications do you have: I founded Llama, which helps DAOs manage their treasury. I have helped DAOs with spending, asset allocation, and reporting. Governance and treasuries go hand in hand: what can’t be automated can be voted on by governance and funded by the treasury. I am leading Aave Grants DAO, which aims to empower a wider network of developers to grow the Aave ecosystem. I am working on a treasury diversification strategy with Uniswap. I lead an ecosystem development project for Ethereum Foundation in India.
Where can your involvement in other governance initiatives be found:
