Responsibilities

With the passing of the Nimi Incubation Grant (Proposal ID, Mainnet: ​​0x541c4933a86d122acd8ed275ce99b5c9f34f14fd7555730ae371852e62ea0df8) DLABS scope of work shifted to:

40% Nimi

Leading the Nimi effort, onboarding new users, new partners and exploring general market fit for Nimi.

40% Governance

Day to day responsibilities include reviewing live on-chain proposals, ensuring operational proposals are being submitted and passing on time. Reviewing our smart contracts implementations regularly, to get a deeper understanding of our tech-stack and be able to debug more efficiently.

Working with the DXgov team. QA testing new releases and monitoring our various releases for bugs.

Running our governance stand-up call - reviewing proposals for security and monitoring purposes.

Running a regular tech-strategy call, to sync up on technical progress and overall strategy of the tech team.

20% Treasury

Daily treasury monitoring, ensuring we have sufficient operational funds on all bases. Exploring and expanding our ability to do trustless treasury management - i.e. swapping stables on Gnosis Chain through the DXdao avatar thanks to DXgov generic multi calls scheme. Exploring potential partners to help expand to more sophisticated trustless treasury management.

  • Cleaned up GPv1, withdrawing all remaining funds
  • Setting up process to burn DXD from buyback
  • Deployed first Mimic vault for wrapping ETH: Contract Address 0x847713Bc4cB6034849ea8E084319478b805c555A | Etherscan
