I’ll be moving on from Gitcoin as a workstream lead at the end of April.
I’ve put myself forward to be an Arbitrum
#ARB
$ARB delegate.
My next steps will involve helping communities use open data to evolve grants governance in fair & legitimate ways. More to come soon…
Active governance participation is key to the success of Arbitrum DAO 💙 🧡
Apply below to be a delegate by Wednesday, March 22nd, and contribute to the future of Arbitrum!
Thrive is looking for great people who can
- Lead ecosystem grant programs
- Design grant program review systems
- Project manage the ish out of things
- Communicate the Why on Social & Forums
Tag someone awesome who is looking for work today
You can pay for minimum viable decentralization if the input you’re paying for is computation.
But if it is human input, paying incentivizes creates noise, not signal.
Until now.
We’re all about to THRIVE.
Soon™️
This really is an honor. Thank you
@gitcoin
Thank you for being so closely aligned with my personal mission that even the difficult days are a blessing.
To be recognized is just a cherry on top! 🍨🍒
It passed! A new grants framework is coming to Arbitrum 🎉
Stay tuned for our announcements about our first activation including a Gitcoin round and a month of DAO native sensemaking experiments!

Quick history lesson - Most all of the DAOs you know are descendants of Compound governance.
Compound wrote the code for delegation. Uniswap forked it. ENS forked it. Gitcoin forked it. Open Zeppelin governor. Governer Bravo...
Good luck!
I need help with my Eth Denver talk…
What is are the best memes to show:
-how disorganized DAOs are
-how DAOs decisions revert to mean
-how they centralize over time
-how they can’t value work properly
“We need a new -ism.
Capitalism and socialism both carry the stigma of the evils they have caused. Our depressed expectation of governance allows us to virtue signal … because the fundamental belief that there could be a better way is a non-option.”

I’m completely floored by the amount and quality of $arb holders trusting me to represent them.
Thank you. I’ll certainly do my best to maintain legitimacy and fairness. It’s time for DAOs to start living up to their promise.
Heard a rumor that
@worldcoin
will stop with the orb and the iris scans.
Have also heard team admits that the current system isn’t collision resistant anyways
To switch to a “barely obtrusive” anal probe. Still annoying but less creepy if true.
Anyone wanna confirm?
When I reply to a tweet, it is partly a BD tactic. It’s great to know that your friends and partners will reply to your important tweets because if you reply back, it can 75x the reach of the tweet.
But you need those friends who will set you up!
- you have to be a diplomat and a salesperson on top of being a builder
- you have to do month(s) of unpaid work risking not getting paid at all
- you must risk personal attacks and reputational damage
one of the biggest problems with DAOs today is that they are unappealing to world-class talent:
- under-reward pareto top contributors
- stagnant resource allocation power per person
- lack of career growth
this will be solved in the coming wave of DAOs

I took a vacay - 10 days off grid 😁
Then, covid caused “reactive arthritis” in my right foot, stopping me from walking or putting any weight on it.
Then, because I was compensating with all the pressure on my left leg, my left knee sprained.
I’ll be back soon.
I think I just had a vision.
Woke up at an ungodly hour fully remembering a dream in detail where we solved a specific problem in a specific and unique way.
Not sure yet, but I can’t find any holes in this approach…

I need 3d graphics to illustrate a concept. Basically a 5x5x6 cube with each of the 150 points shown.
Then selections of 1-15 dots representing a focus area in the 3d space.
Anyone have referrals for a graphic designer who does this type of work?

So you think it is a good idea for banks to charge overdraft fees to people who have no money AND those people shouldn’t be allowed to opt out of that system?
This is a big deal.

is definitely one of the most exciting governance projects to watch. Even if your not into Ethereum, the principles apply to you.

Cup of Joseph, CEO of Open Dollar came and grabbed a french fry off my plate and dipped it in ketchup while making eye contact with me.
He bent over and whispered in my ear, “When you tell this story no one will ever believe you” then ate my french fry.
I couldn't sleep so I posted this discussion to the $ARB forum to help avoid some known patterns.

After months in dev, we’re announcing BOLD (Bounded Liquidity Delay), a new dispute protocol that enables permissionless validation for Arbitrum chains, potentially removing the need for permissioned validation, dramatically improving decentralization.
What if grant rounds had a grant to supply that round’s fraud defense?
The grant is split between bounties for Sybil defense analysis, grant reviewers, and appeal jurors

Hell yeah we do. We have “DAOs” that centralize over time and no one care to actively fix it.
Is this the future of work?
Or do we need to bring back the decentralization, autonomy, and ORGANIZING
Gitcoin's Allo protocol requires a token to succeed long-term. It's utility lies in quantifying the increasing returns of positive-sum collaboration and rewarding the collaborators. 🧵
Why are bounties not composable? Like why can’t data bounties be found and rewarded in wonderverse, dework, and in hackathons from open data community and metrics dAO?
Why are workstream not funded from multiple DAOs?
Why are projects part of a DAO and not their own DAO?
