I help to draft proposals that aim to strike a balance between the interests of various Mantle Ecosystem stakeholders, including tokenholders, core contributor teams, and external partners. My focus is on prioritizing the interests of $MNT tokenholders. My current perspectives and voting biases are as follows: Perspectives on Governance 1. The primary objective of governance design is to balance the interests of tokenholders and project teams (a principal-agent issue). While we will converge on a unique solution which works for Mantle we should heavily reference time-tested frameworks utilized by public companies (shareholders vs operators) and political systems (citizens vs the executive). 2. All actions must be authorized by a series of proposal. However, we should look to avoid micromanagement and administrative overhead. The Mantle Governance vote (Snapshot) should focus on key decisions, such as: strategic direction, launching new initiatives, large resource allocations, and course correction actions. In most cases, we should look to grant broader authorities to core contributor teams to self govern, operate, and adjust parameters. 3. Mantle Governance should preserve ultimate governance authority in case there is a need for project course correction. This includes the ability to nominate oversight committees, affect project team changes, and project restructurings. Perspectives on Mantle Ecosystem Strategy 4. Prioritize the longterm economic prosperity of $MNT tokenholders. 5. Current preference is to fund development of Web3 products that have direct economic connection to $MNT and large user addressable markets. These products are likely to be Ethereum infra-related and have future synergies with existing $MNT powered products such as Mantle Network. Perspectives on Resource Management 6. A maximally conservative approach to resource management, especially when it comes to yield opportunities. There is no "risk-free" in crypto, and therefore, there should be strict qualification factors for capital deployment.
