Cool, this is my first time playing the Respect Game and I'm so happy to meet this community and to see what people are working on. I'm seeing some really cool stuff and I thought independently that this would be the right way in the future to do money. I don't want to get too into it right now, but let me just say I'm super excited to be in this stream of thought that you guys have over here. So yeah, my first time playing, so maybe bear with me, but I guess I'll share some stuff that I'm working on either in Optimism governance or with OP Labs and then you guys tell me if I'm doing this right.

My big thing right now is that I'm part of the Developer Advisory Board at Optimism and so we're this board that gets elected. Our main responsibility is helping the Grants Council evaluate grants from a technical perspective. The Grants Council is very experienced at evaluating these different Mission applications. I think there are a few people in the room that are familiar with the whole grants process, but sometimes they need more of a technical perspective. So we come in and every cycle, as a board member, I'll get like 10 or 11 grants to check out. Lately, I've been just commenting in Charmverse, but Gabriel, you wouldn't have seen a board comment on your application because in cycle 25 we kept comments private. Anyway, if you're applying for a grant or something like that and you need a little bit of perspective from the Developer Advisory Board, you can reach out to me. We're going to start doing some office hours. I know there are already Grants Council office hours; that's where I first got acquainted with Dan. So this is a big part of my recent contributions for Optimism. I do get a stipend for doing this, so I want to be transparent about that. I don't know how that interacts with any respect that I do or do not deserve, so that'll be an interesting thing to figure out. One more thing that I can share is that I work for Scopelift. We do smart contract development, a lot of governance-related stuff. We're talking with Optimism and there's this interesting fault proof system, kind of like safety nets that are built into the fault proof system. They have ideas on how they want to change these safety nets to make them easier to use, and so we're talking to OP Labs to contract with them to make these fixes. I'm throwing this in there too because I'm curious whether prospective contributions will be included in my respect calculation or whether it's going to be "Oh come back next time and maybe we'll figure it out then." So yeah, super curious about this game that you guys play. Thanks so much for having me and thanks for checking out what I'm doing over here.
