Name: Nick Gitcoin: @drnicka ENS: drnick.eth Twitter: @drnicka
Statement of Intention / My Values & Reason for Joining:
I am a committed DAO practitioner with a history of governance and scientific research and I am keen to support the gitcoin ecosystem as much as possible with the experience earned from my learning journey so far.
I want to see a freer DAO driven future with permissionless decentralised governance as a base layer public good. I believe that DAOs will revolutionise our governance practices, root and branch, starting here and leading to systemic reform in the real world.
My intention is to advance my DAO stewardship practice beyond my own projects to those that I deeply care about and want to see succeed. I am very keen to support the Anti-Fraud and Collusion Detection stream in particular, which I see as an important step towards robust and capture resistant decentralised governance systems.
What Web3 Qualifications / Skills I have:
I have built (as a DAO) a suite of production ready DAO tools, which I aim to progress towards a permissionless DAO launching protocol.
10 years of physics, experimental science and data science expertise.
10 years of academic senior management, policy and governance experience at the institutional level.
Advanced knowledge and practice in cryptoeconomic mechanisms for decentralised finance, governance and sybil resistance.
Summary
I am new to the Gitcoin ecosystem in terms of direct participation, but have been a fan since the beginning and would be delighted to be considered for Gitcoin stewardship and believe that I can bring a helpful skill set support the Gitcoin mission.
