Sov: Delegate Platform

Delegation
1

Hello, ParaSwap community! I’m Sov, and I am excited to contribute to ParaSwap’s continued growth and development.

I am dropping my Delegate Statement here and welcome any questions or outreach.

Introduction

My expertise lies in ecosystem development, grant program management, and cross-DAO coordination. I have a diverse background that spans both traditional and Web3 organizations. I successfully managed a profitable systems integrator for over a decade. I served as a volunteer Board President of a nationally recognized 501(c)3 nonprofit before transitioning to full-time work in Web3.

My active role as a delegate for multiple DAOs has allowed me to contribute to governance, program development, and ecosystem growth. As the Head of Grants at Gitcoin, a former member of the Optimism Grants Council, and a successful grantee from protocols such as Polygon, Aave, and the Ethereum Foundation, I bring unique and practical insight into ecosystem funding from both the grantor and grantee perspectives.

Driver & Values

As ParaSwap enters its next growth phase, I see an opportunity to drive governance participation and construct frameworks that bolster core protocol development and a broader ecosystem. I’m eager to lend my expertise to effectively aid in the evolution of ParaSwap’s governance, demonstrating my unwavering commitment to its growth.

With this in mind, the core values that will shape my governance participation are:

  • Ecosystem Growth: I’m committed to supporting initiatives strengthening ParaSwap’s position while ensuring growth through thoughtful resource allocation and partnerships.
  • Operational Excellence: I have proven experience establishing and maintaining governance frameworks that enable efficient decisions while remaining transparent.
  • Cross-Protocol Collaboration: I’ll work to identify and support initiatives that build bridges with complementary protocols while maintaining ParaSwap’s value proposition.
  • Sustainable Development: I advocate for data-driven decision-making and carefully consider immediate opportunities and long-term implications of decisions.

Disclosure

As Head of Grants at Gitcoin and an active delegate in multiple DAOs, I recognize the importance of transparent communication about potential conflicts of interest. While no direct conflicts exist, I will leverage my cross-ecosystem experience to benefit ParaSwap while disclosing any situations that could present conflicts as they arise.
