Statement of Intention / Your Values & Reasons for Joining:
I love the blockchain industry and hope to get more deeply involved in the blockchain industry and the Ethereum ecosystem. Iāve been involved in the crypto industry for five years now, and the various aspects of the industry have become part of my life.
I am very interested in Gitcoin DAO. Although there are many DAO Ethereum communities out there, their governance seems to be a long way from the DAO I imagined. An important part of this is that participation in DAOs is currently not high enough. And Gitcoin DAOās Stewards can solve this problem to a large extent, which is groundbreaking, and I donāt want to miss the opportunity to participate in this organization.
In addition, over the past two years, we have established an ENS Chinese community: ENSUser.com, and we have done a lot of work for the popularization and application of ENS in China. I myself have a very clear understanding of the principles of ENS and its place in the Ethereum ecosystem.
I will continue to explore in this industry, I hope I can join.
Cool, it would be very interesting to see you on the team of this project, given that you have a lot of experience in interacting with the community DAO Rarible. I hope that such bright personalities will not be ignored!

With the wealth creation in the space, there is no reason crypto shouldnāt be able to build and fund public goods for the diverse values of its different communities.
ETH Address: 0x77b175d193a19378031F4a81393FC0CBD5cF4079
Statement of Intention / Your Values & Reasons for Joining:
Iām interested in being a Gitcoin steward because I want to help support the growth of digital public goods and gain more hands-on experience with DAO governance.
Iām a big believer in the concept of āopen-source-everything,ā that we should strive to make all of humanityās critical hardware, software, and socio-technical infrastructure open-source.
For now Iām most interested in understanding and determining what kinds of public goods the community cares about. In the future Iād like to become more involved with conversations around meta-governance and progressive decentralization.
Iām also working to help spin up a DAO investment and support fund focused on long-term DAO infrastructure and am interested in understanding ways in which GTC (and other governance tokens) may accrue value.
I believe that DAOs hold enormous potential to help humanity coordinate in more efficient, transparent, and equitable ways. Iām eager to play an active role in shaping the future of Gitcoin while gaining practical experience working with DAOs!
Your Web3 Qualifications / Skills:
Researching and investing in crypto since 2012. Early investor in ETH and participant in āThe DAOā along with other early DAOs (MakerDAO, 0xDAOā¦)
Writing about crypto since 2015 on Medium and my personal blog
Regularly using and experimenting with Web 3 apps ( Gnosis Safe, Colony, Enyzme Finance, Augur, Audius, etc.)
As a longtime member of the crypto space, and an even longer advocate for homeless/impoverished individuals, I have been seeking ways to merge the two interests of mine. After spending years with several people in the homeless community in my area, I have learned how talented and innovative some of these people are. I intend to onboard these individuals in an effort to allow them to use their skill to build things in this space, while simultaneously allowing for them the opportunity to earn and grow financial stability.
I have served as a community rep/ambassador for over 6 projects, using my skills in intrapersonal communication, community growth and aggregation, and social interactivity, to help strengthen and grow this community.
I would love to be a steward, as Iāve been seeking a way to become an active participant in this community for years, and think this would allow me such an opportunityāspecifically in the realm of Public Good.
Statement of Intention: As we transition to an increasingly digital society, our economic and cultural interactions will be dictated by the technological standards underpinning our applications. I believe that if we are truly embarking on an age with programmable money and assets, where our economic and cultural systems run on software, it makes sense to re-architecture the the way in which we fund public goods in order to incentivize open source as the default way of building things. Gitcoin does just that, and it is my intention to help the DAO succeed in this mission.
Web3 Qualifications / Skills:
Investment Account leader within Index Coopās Treasury Working Group.
Contributor at LlamaDAO, working on treasury-related projects for Aave, PoolTogether, Gitcoin, and more.
Currently working to help create an investment management strategy for the Gitcoin Leadership Wallet.

I resonate strongly with the ethos of broadening participating in crypto outside of speculative investment use cases (which are great, but not the big unlock for the general population).

Statement of Intention / Your Values & Reasons for Joining
My values have been developed in my work and entrepreneurial journey building educational, community-based products in the education, blockchain, and wellness industry. I deeply believe in designing better systems to create a more equitable world.
After going through Gitcoinās Kernel Fellowship Block 3, I have grown even more optimistic about the direction of the industry as a whole. Iām certain that Gitcoin is one of the places that people will be looking at first to find the infinite players looking to build long-term in the space. As a steward Iād like to support Gitcoin in building and growing a healthy community.
My focus is on the long-term success of the crypto ecosystem through education, community building, and onboarding non-crypto natives to crypto protocols. Iām a community builder and entrepreneur, and Iāve always been excited about sharing resources about the latest frontier technologies and educating others. My expertise is in building community-based products, marketing, and education.
Your Web3 Qualifications / Skills:

In 2021, I jumped in full-time to work in the crypto industry, I previously worked at The Graph and Hashflow helping grow their communities.
I recently completed the Kernel Fellowship Block 3 and started RenaissanceDAO, a decentralized collective of content creators building the future of the web through creator patronage, with a group of 11 people, most of them are other Gitcoin Kernel Fellows. Weāve recently grown to 25+ creators with a total reach of 1+ million people across all social media platforms.
Iām a Kernel Community Steward for KB4.
My focus at the moment is community building, crypto education, and onboarding people from web2 into web3.
Username: wizardjuanz ETH Address: 0xB922a0a797026D5C45145503E1976989B05Cf307 Discord Handle - zero#648 Statement of Intention: Hello I have been involved in crypto for a number of years and want to further align myself with the projects I support and my own values. I believe that distributed ledger technology has the ability to create a more inclusive economic system with institutional transparency and improved efficiency with regards to resource management. I support GItcoinās efforts to build web3 applications through the use of quadradic funding in an open source environment. Discussions around what constitutes the public good and how to address the tragedy of the commons in web3 are incredibly productive and essential. Crypto is currently in an interesting place and the next few years will determine the long term direction of what we will refer to as web3. I want to work to support the civic use of DLT so that we all might collectively benefit from its ability to transfer value in a trustless environment.
Your Web3 Qualifications / Skills: I have participated in a number of different communities since 2017 as a community member. I have seen more projects fail than succeed. Those with the most vibrant communities with high levels of participation are the ones that seem to maintain long term success. Iād like to help a DAO, aligned with my values, grow their community and strategize on the future direction of the project. I am excited to be a useful member of the Gitcoin community and hope to become a trusted resource. I hope that my enthusiasm and motivation make up for any lack of experience. I too am learning along the way and hope to gain more experience through participating in this great community.

Statement of Intention / My Values & Reason for Joining: Iām interested in participating in Gitcoin Governance because Iāve seen the power of Open Source in Web2 firsthand through my involvement with the analytics/data infrastructure companies Iām invested in. I want to be a part of creating/improving upon that ecosystem in Web3. Iām in whole-hearted alignment with the vision of building & funding the open web, and hope to play a role in creating financial freedom for humans in the process.
What Web3 Qualifications / Skills I Have : I bring an investor lens to Web3, but not your typical hands-off-investor-who-doesnāt-want-to-get-their-hands-dirty. Iāve begun getting involved in a more hands-on way in several communities in the crypto world, and Iām actively writing about crypto. The skills I have that are most relevant to the steward role come from my Web2 experience: as a VC, Iām very engaged in governance / board involvement with multiple private companies, and Iād love to play a role in shaping the uncharted territory of DAO governance.

I am a senior computer science undergraduate, web 3.0 technical education intern, and open source enthusiast. I was researching OpenLaw for a presentation when I discovered Boardroom and the Decentralized Governance Hackathon occurring. I understood this as a great opportunity to work with these products.
Like many of you, learning about crypto and the web 3.0 movement has opened up an incredibly innovative space to explore, and I have been learning more about this ecosystem and the decentralized protocol space as a whole ever since. Growing up with the internet, I am excited to learn and to contribute to the innovations being developed on the new stack. Some of my technical knowledge/skills include: OOP, computer networks, analysis of algorithms, and cryptography.
Gitcoin has a special place in my heart as one of the first dApps I found very valuable for my education and technical development. My goal is to provide meaningful support to the web 3.0 ecosystem.

Statement of Intention / Your Values & Reasons for Joining
Iām very interested in supporting open source projects in a sustainable way, and I think the decentralization of Gitcoin opens the door to many new possibilities for collaboration, such as co-creation and thus co-ownership of projects :
where people are rewarded for their added value
where a share of the profits flows back into public goods by supporting other projects with similar values/missions
and where everyone has a say (e.g. voting on features, priorities, etc.)
Your Web3 Qualifications / Skills:
I have 4 years of professional experience in software engineering and my hobbies are primarily around learning web3, security, devops/infrastructure and sharing knowledge.
My side projects were primarily focused on education and Iām currently working on a project to decentralize Gitcoin quests.
I became an active Gitcoin DAO contributor in early September 2021, joining :
The FDD Workstream, I worked on improving the Notion by creating templates that can be used by other workstreams as well as migrating the current knowledge base to a Gitbook space.
I joined the Moonshot Collective, and contributed to Quadratic Diplomacy to implement gasless voting and also helped improve the Notion and the onboarding workflow.
