Statement of Intention / My Values & Reason for Joining: I’m interested in participating in Gitcoin Governance because I find the values of Gitcoin align strongly with my own values: self-sovereignty for workers, transparency between the platform and the community, Impact driven innovation, and a focus on distributing the value captured more effectively to all those who are helping to build the future of work. I believe that Gitcoin will play an essential role in empowering online and open source communities in the near and long term future and I want to help guide and support the best outcomes for the community by being a Delegate/Steward.

What Web3 Qualifications / Skills I Have: My experience working in Ethereum over the past 3 years has helped me a lot within the various communities that I have interest in. I’ve been around in this space and will continue to show up where-ever people feel that they need me to help.

Personally I’m really excited to play a role in Progressive Decentralization and Meta Governance as my experience tracks well with organizing groups of people and helping them drive towards defined outcomes. If you feel I’m able to help please feel free to contact me on hangouts or message.

  • Statement of Intention / Your Values & Reasons for Joining

I firmly believe the efficiency of systems has to go hand in hand with equity. Well, the criteria for the measurement of efficiency is debatable, isn’t it? The progress of civilization should be measured by the accessibility to the services for all individuals, and not only but total societal wealth. This can only be done if we expand the sphere of public goods. The objectives and the underlying values of Gitcoin are in line with my own views. I believe I can contribute to the discussion on public goods and digital assets/ products/ services from the point of view of an economist.

  • Your Web3 Qualifications / Skills
    I am an economist with a PhD engaged in volunteering after retiring early. I have worked with several international organizations including the World Bank. As for my Web3 qualifications, I am relatively new to Ethereum. I have intermediate programming skills in Python and R for data science. I am in the process of learning Solidity/ Truffle and smart contract security analysis.

Statement of Intention / My Values & Reason for Joining: The greatest growth return on invest an society can make is in infrastructure. Physical infrastructure enables the movement of good and services while digital infrastructure enable the flow and legitimacy of information. While this is advantageous for the first world it’s a game changer for the developing world. Blockchain technology offers trustless transactions, access to funding, proof of ownership and smart contract flexibility that could catapult villages in Mozambique and Malawi into modern productivity.

I founded a web development school to provide access to freecodecamp.org and funding to South African adults in Diepsloot South Africa. As an experiment in building a scalable digital tradesman school. The internet has given us ubiquitous access to information. Blockchain gives us ubiquitous access to trust and legitimacy.

What Web3 Qualifications / Skills I Have : By day, I am a backend Engineer, working on Java/Spring and Scala/Play running in AWS and GCP. By night I am working through the Ethereum Docs, Eth.build, Kernel, the solidity docs and EatTheBlocks. I am preparing for a personal project to create NFTs for Title deeds in South African townships as proof of ownership to accelerate targeted economic growth. Validate a model that can then be applied to informal (and formal) settlements the world over.

I have a undergrad in Entrepreneurship, a sting of failed and not completely failed startups and a post grad in Software Engineering.

Gitcoin gives us the ability to build the infrastructure needed to launch the last two billion people out of poverty. It would be a privilege to be apart of the work required to get there.

Webpage: https://www.blockchainedu.org/

Statement of Intention / Your Values & Reason for Joining:

The Blockchain Education Network (BEN) has grown exponentially since the launch of our Meta-Governance structure. The goal in mind is to expose our student-members to the vast landscape that is DeFi Governance, while allowing them to proudly represent their collegiate chapter both domestically and abroad - enabling their capacity to participate in multi-protocol governance processes.

For those who are unaware, founded in 2014, BEN is the longest running and largest 501(c)3 global network of blockchain students, professors, and alumni. We have over 80 blockchain clubs and university chapters in our network, and we provide students with educational resources, opportunities, internships, job matching, financial support for conference travel and more.

With this in mind, there is a evident synergy between BEN’s and Gitcoin governance structure - to amplify, elevate, and augment the voices of community participants while keeping the vision for the betterment of the underlying protocol/organization in mind.

Through our Meta-Steward initiative we can continue in our pursuit to offer our student-members the tools, experience, and opportunities needed to thrive in any & all niche industries that emerge within DeFi.

Similar to our Uniswap, Aave, Compound, and Decentraland Meta-Delegate committees, our Meta-Steward will hold monthly/bi-monthly governance meetings to deliberate and further review any & all developments and proposals (active & inactive) pertaining to Gitcoin’s ecosystem.

Backed largely by our student community alongside the grander Gitcoin community, we firmly believe that this is just the beginning for BEN’s Meta-Steward and we can’t wait to see what else is in store!

ETH address: 420tiesto.eth

Statement of Intention / My Values & Reason for Joining: I’m interested in participating in Gitcoin Governance because I actually used/use Gitcoin to help develop the dapp I am working on, I believe that Gitcoin can become one of the most valuable assests to the entire ecosystem. I also believe that the goal of opensource projects and decentralization is to empower people across the globe, and no other project accomplishes that like Gitcoin. I am able to work with talent that would be extremely difficult to find locally and accomplish tasks that would have been impossible to do alone.

What Web3 Qualifications / Skills I Have : I am a entry level solidity dev with some experience with react, however my real job is making music. I am a full time professional musician/producer who decided to develop a marketplace to help musicians get involved in NFTs. I was able to accomplish this through Gitcoin bounties which is why I have so much conviction and belief in this project. Currently there aren’t too many people involved in the rap industry working in web3, my goal is to bring a in a community to the space who has very little exposure at the moment. Musicians are extremely underpaid and this is no different in the rap industry, even rappers with millions of streams struggle to prosper in the current conditions. The amount of value contributed to society is not equal to their pay which is why I decided to disrupt the current model.

I have been following the Gitcoin project & interested in DAOs for years. With the launch of the GTC governance token & the GitcoinDAO, it feels like the perfect opportunity for me to be more involved.

I would like to help bridge the Ethereum/Gitcoin community & the Zcash community, with the goal of having the Zcash community represented in the governance process of the GitcoinDAO. I will start by campaigning for participants in the Zcash Gitcoin Grants round to claim their GTC & delegate to myself as the steward.

Many thanks,

    I would love to participate as a steward for Gitcoin Governance as I do personally believe that Gitcoin is currently making an incredible impact within the space through it’s, Open Source Community and Ethereum Ecosystem.

The grants and matching are allowing the sharing of some of the wealth that is within the space and assisting to support new projects that are working to build a better future for the space, which I would absolutely love to be a part of, as Gitcoin Values and Mission are very closely aligned with my own values.

  • Your Web3 Qualifications / Skills
    I have personally been involved in the space since 2017, I am an active member in many groups, sharing and contributing knowledge and resources. I may not have some of the advanced technical skills or long career within the space that other candidates above have but what I do have is an incredible eye for detail, an amazing 3rd sense, that allows me to zoom in and see what is missing or what is needed within a very short amount of time.

My personality also has me dotting all “i’s” and crossing all “t’s”, which I believe will be very beneficial in the role as Gitcoin Governance as I do pay very close attention to smaller details as well as larger. “A complete view” with the future destination and outcome wanted in mind.

I am also a proud founding member and curator for the Graph Web3.

I would love the opportunity to assist Gitcoin in becoming a fully community owned protocol , while improving the processes along the way and ensuring that all areas are included within funding.

Statement of Intention / My values & reason for joining:
I am from the MIPT, which actively participates in the life of the Gitcoin community.
I am interested to join Gitcoin Stewardship program and governance processes, because I find this project amazing. My values are perfectly aligned with the broader goals of Gitcoin - a super-decentralized, community-owned way of managing. I’ve been a fan of Gitcoin ever since I found out about it, which was very early in my crypto journey. I believe that we should push Gitcoin’s open source development mission further, find and train new developers, and expand the Ethereum network.

I was engaged in the promotion of projects, namely, started with a simple campaign and ended up with the introduction of new functions and technologies in scientific laboratories. I have been engaged in development of projects Rarible.
I have great faith and interest in web3 projects, and I believe that Gitcoin is not only vital for the Ethereum ecosystem, but also extremely important for other web3 projects. I look forward to learning as I go along and contributing to other aspects of research in data science and interaction design.

I am ready to answer any questions anytime.
