Hi everyone,
My name is Carl, I work alongside existing council member Larry at Reverie. You might know me from a few of the proposals I’ve submitted in the past, including the Governance Council proposal. Given my experience with the governance program, and everything else going on, we’ve decided it’s best for me to represent Reverie on the Council, replacing Larry’s existing seat. Happy to share my personal background and thoughts below. I’m excited to continue working with the community!
Background
I’m an Associate at Reverie, working on research, investments, and advisory with our partner protocols, including Orca and other DeFi protocols. I have worked closely with the Orca team and community to design our existing Governance model, including on-chain governance parameters and the Council itself. At Reverie, I spend most of time researching and investing in DeFi-related projects. Before Reverie, I worked at a leading crypto market making firm.
Benefits to the Council
I was responsible for deploying the on-chain governance program, and contributed to the design of Orca’s existing governance model. I’ll use this background to continue scaling Orca’s DAO. I also know the technical details of our governance program, which I can use to help the Council with on-chain proposals and upgrades to the DAO.
From a product standpoint, I’ve spent my entire career in crypto, working alongside DeFi projects and institutional trading firms. I plan on leveraging this background to help guide the Orca protocol.
Community Interests
Reverie has always served in the interest of growing the protocol thoughtfully, both from a product and community standpoint. We consider ourselves members of the community, and will continue acting in its best interests.
Top priorities
- Continue scaling the DAO and community, which could include additional treasury programs
- Explore new methods of growing the protocol, including value-capture mechanisms and incentive designs
- Expand Orca’s product offering to compete across the Solana ecosystem
