Legal Name: Jordan Karstadt ( DonOfDAOs – https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordankarstadt/ )
Country of Residence & Time Zone: United States (EST)
Occupation: Founder at Event Horizon and Professional Delegate
What is your motivation for applying to this working group? (max 3 sentences):
My commitment within the context of the UAC and DAO governance broadly is to expand enfranchisement, grow community inclusion, and strengthen transparency. At Event Horizon, we built an end-to-end metagovernance platform entrusted with as high as $16M in delegations and processed over half a billion dollars worth of votes on behalf of (and at no cost to) the retail voters of 10 different DAOs. To continue these commitments as a UAC member, I will emphasize personal communication by making my calendly publicly available to any and all delegates and community members (starting now: calendly) as well as publishing monthly reports on my contributions, insights, and UAC-facing perspectives.
Please list your association, history, and contributions to the Uniswap protocol or DAO:
As founder of Event Horizon, I have championed voter inclusion and innovative governance explicitly by looking past access by capital means alone – token-weighted voting alone is insufficient, as some of the brightest minds and greatest contributions may be held by individuals with $50 or less. For more context, if interested, I have linked my work on Implicit Delegation , Voter Specialization, and Agentic Governance.
Building on this philosophy, Event Horizon joined the Uniswap voting body in November of 2023 and has since provided tens of millions of dollars of UNI voting power to the average Uniswap retail voter, across 55 proposals, with 100% uptime and at no cost to the voters or the DAO. Opportunities such as the UAC provide critical communication channels for the community to engage with the direction of Uniswap absent millions of dollars of voting power. I am here and fully available to help facilitate this.
Briefly provide an overview of any other working groups or teams that you have been a part of in relation to a DAO (limit to most relevant):
Beyond Uniswap, I’ve partnered with a wide range of leading DAOs and foundations including Arbitrum DAO and Foundation, Compound, Gitcoin, Origin, Optimism, Scroll, and more. Through these partnerships, I and the Event Horizon team have been entrusted with millions of dollars worth of DAO-sponsored delegations and functions as the largest metagovernance and AI governance protocol across all 10 DAOs it operates.
Briefly provide an overview of any role that has required you to operate as a multisig member:
I serve as a multi-sig signer on all wallets tied to Event Horizon’s metagovernance operations across the DAOs mentioned above. I also sit on the oversight committee for the 7,000,000 ARB community delegation pool, which I co-steward alongside the Arbitrum MSS.
Conflict of Interest Declaration:
Event Horizon operates with a strict commitment to credible neutrality akin to other vote infrastructure providers like Snapshot or Tally. As such, I do not anticipate conflicts of interest. However, I will fully recuse myself from any matters directly involving Event Horizon.
Provide the Ethereum address that you will be using as a part of the UAC multisig:
