I have read and understood the Optimism Delegate Commitment Process:

I understand that becoming a delegate is a significant commitment: Yes

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate:

Aside from just being passionate about DeFi Governance holistically, the Optimism Collective embarked on delivering an innovative and refreshing approach to governance with the prioritization being agile, impactful decisions first that consequently results in protocol profit. This framework piqued my interest and seeing a public good primitive such as Uniswap and the UF exploring collaborative community efforts just makes it all worthwhile.

My view on the Optimistic Vision 151 1:

As mentioned in the section above, the Optimism Collective’s vision is one that emphasizes community collaboration and long-tailed protocol scalability ideals. In effect, this creates a perpetual flywheel of creativity, growth, and (of course) governance optimization - further driving the fundamental pillar of acting as a public good.

My view on the first three articles of the Working Constitution 3:

Exciting. The fact that we’re already half way through the WC (Working Constitution) transitory period without an issue is impressive and speaks volume of the quality of community Optimism has. Curious to see any drafts related to the permanent Bedrock Constitution!
