ENS name: republic.eth
My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: I would like to be a part of Ethereum’s success and believe ENS is one of the foundations of Web3. Being a delegate would allow me to actively participate in this movement. I have been a stakeholder in ETH since 2016 and have used the ecosystem (smart contracts, DEFI, NFTS) as a web3 enthusiast. I flew to take part in Devcon 2017 and since then decided I wanted to learn as much as possible. I am not a whale, nor a VC, nor a trader, nor a coder, I see myself as a native user, perhaps a bit early to the revolution. I think my profile would be valuable in the governance process as somebody that can represent a future web3 user.
My view on each section of the proposed ENS Constitution
- Name ownership is an absolute right: Agree
- Registration fees exist as an incentive mechanism: Agree
- Income funds ENS and other public goods: Agree
- ENS Integrates with the global namespace: Agree. I also believe the ENS framework should prioritize decentralized namespace. There should be a discussion on how to make the ENS framework more attractive relative to legacy namespace - either though UX/UI, prioritization and/or other incentive mechanisms.
My web3 qualifications / skills: I have actively used web3 Ethereum-based services since 2016 and present myself as a user vested in ENS reaching mainstream critical mass with low friction and great UX, rather than a coder/technical person.
