hey frens! submitted a proposal on @lens/aave to form a working group and create a bespoke solution for Aave to capture Oracle Extractable Value (OEV) If you're an Aave user or involved in governance, have a read and give us your feedback 👻 https://governance.aave.com/t/temp-check-oev-exploration-framework/17247
gm gm! As @lens/defi_ezr3al mentioned previously, I've been an @lens/aave delegate for the last 1.5 years, leading the London Business School Blockchain Society's delegation. At LBS, I established our delegate platform as the most viewed platform on Aave, maintained a 96%+ voting participation rate over 700+ (!) proposals, and co-authored 2 governance proposals, which led to our selection as the inaugural beneficiaries of the Orbit program. Now, I'm working as VP Strategic Governance at Areta and have transitioned our delegation to the Areta delegate platform (aretagov.eth,0x8b37a5Af68D315cf5A64097D96621F64b5502a22) What is Areta? Well, we're an ex-McKinsey/Blackstone crypto-native investment bank specialising in strategic transactions, complex governance processes, and institutional delegation for protocols and institutions. We've had the privilege to work for some of the leading companies and DAOs in the crypto space. Examples of our work include leading the first cross-ecosystem growth initiative for Uniswap and Arbitrum, the first acquisition of Coingecko, the sale of Solscan to Etherscan, the strategic wind-down of Gro DAO, and our position on the Arbitrum DAO Procurement Committee. We are open for business on Aave - please consider delegating to us! Our address is 0x8b37a5Af68D315cf5A64097D96621F64b5502a22. Our key tenets as delegates are to aim for a 100% voting participation rate, to vote independently and impartially, and to open source our rationale, which will act to anchor our thinking and make ourselves accountable to the wider Aave community. We will ensure that the Aave protocol continues to grow and cements itself as an innovative leader within DeFi 🚀👻

It's truly blockchain szn in London. Loving the vibe - was in a coffee shop and it seemed like half of us are working in crypto. Eavesdropped about Bitcoin L2s, Chainalysis, Gnosis, and ofc, me talking about OEV on Aave 😅
