Accomplishments
- Helped launch Carrot Alpha and coordinate Carrot Campaign with Agave
- Working with Swapr Squad coordinated staking rewards distribution contracts audit with Omega Team, representing the first audit with Omega Team. We met one of their team in Lisbon, and it’s been an important relationship. It was relief to work with them as we unexpectedly had our previous auditor relationship discontinue, and the typical backlog for auditing firms at the time was 8 or so months.
- Working with DXgov Squad coordinated audit of DXgovernance contracts by Team Omega
-
Initiated conversations with Sigma Prime about reserving audit time
-
Initial due diligence with Karma
-
Working with Augur team on their announcement to work with DXdao. They first reached out to me in October and I worked with them and the DXgov team during this time, during which we had high hopes.

Collected thoughts from DXdao community call and generated a tweet thread calling attention to DXdao’s usage of ENS. This tweet thread led to ENS team giving DXdao a 46,296 ENS, currently valued at more than $700K

What I think went well
It’s always great to launch a new product and I was part of developing Carrot from the beginning.
The ENS grant. This added a lot of value to the DXdao treasury and put DXdao in a position to help influence ENS.
Also, while we know now it didn’t really work out in the end, there was excitement about AugurDAO and the alignment they saw with DXdao. I feel like DXgov started to come into its own and development of guilds got a boost. I was happy to play a role in facilitating this, though @AugustoL and @ross did the harder work on the product side.
I think it was also a good work period for community engagement. Besides the ENS grant and Augur DAO announcement, I was on three podcasts, and really cool how we ended up finding Wayne through one of them.
And it was a great period for building auditing relationships. I think this is where we got back on track and even in a better position than we have been with our previous auditor.
What I think needs improvement
I think I could have done more to do a better job onboarding with SpaceInch devs.
The Agave campaign launch could have had better communication between teams for which I take some of the responsibility.
Compensation
Level K has already received the max amount of REP. According to the guidelines for a DXdao worker with expert level experience and a commitment level of 5, total compensation is 0.875 * $16000 = $14000 in stablecoins or ETH and 0.875 * $12000 = $10500 worth of DXD per month.
