About:

Michigan Blockchain is a student-run organization at the University of Michigan, involved in building blockchain leaders for over 6 years now. The organization contributes to the space via education, consulting, and governance. Our team has actively participated in governance voting and spearheading proposal development for the following protocols: Uniswap, Arbitrum, Compound, Origin Protocol, and Stader Labs. Each protocol is assigned a designated expert, responsible for continuous monitoring of the protocol’s developments on forums, social media, and voting platforms like Snapshot. At committee meetings, protocol leads share updates with the entire governance team on active proposals and debate the pros/cons to reach a collective decision on how to vote with our delegated tokens. We have a high proposal participation rate, having reviewed and voted on nearly all incoming proposals for each delegated protocol. Prior to publicizing proposals, we collaborate with numerous stakeholders from investors, DAO service providers, and other protocols to draft proposals properly. Our team has also successfully led the establishment of proposals from start to finish.

Experience: 

Delegate for UNI, ARB, COMP, OGN, SD

Delegate Platform or Philosophy:

Our philosophy revolves around the principles of community engagement and informed decision making. We pursue the long-term success of the protocol along with governance token value accrual for the benefit of the DAO, without negatively impacting dapp users. Our delegates go through an education program that gives our members the foundational layer of knowledge to make educated decisions.

Conflicts of Interest: 

Given our involvement with multiple blockchain protocols as delegates (Uniswap, Arbitrum, Compound, Origin Protocol, and Stader Labs), there may be instances where interests overlap.

Policy for Handling Conflicts of Interest When They Arise: 

If our organization has a conflict of interest due to personal/professional conflicts or proposals we have voted on through our other delegation, we will opt out of voting (or vote 'abstain' if available) and state conflict.
