6. What makes you fit for this role? Do you have any relevant skills and experiences? (100 words max)
Governance is a driving force in my daily life. I am deeply committed to designing and improving governance structures that address challenges like coalition traps, the tragedy of the commons, and personal interests overshadowing collective decisions. I strive to uphold the community’s values, even when they differ from personal preferences, prioritizing the well-being of citizens and DAO members above all. My approach emphasizes fairness, transparency, and collaboration, ensuring that decisions align with the greater good and foster trust within the community. By focusing on these principles, I aim to create governance models that are both effective and resilient.
7. What is the biggest challenge with Push DAO governance and how would you solve it? (100 words max)
Governance capture is a significant challenge for DAOs. A key weakness across DAOs, including Push, lies in balancing the need for decentralization with the efficiency of centralized systems. Many of us involved lack extensive business development experience and often approach governance with idealism. However, history and practice show that prioritizing the common good and ensuring stability for all stakeholders can lead to sustainable success. By fostering collaboration, learning, and a focus on collective well-being, DAOs can evolve into robust systems that achieve their goals while remaining true to their decentralized ethos.
8. What is your favourite thing about Push DAO? (100 words max)
This is a communication project, an application designed by humans, for humans, with a native and intuitive structure. It seamlessly integrates smart contracts to enhance communication and decision-making processes, fostering transparency and collaboration. By leveraging innovative technology, the project empowers users to build stronger systems while promoting adaptability and resilience. Its human-centered design ensures accessibility and ease of use, bridging the gap between advanced blockchain tools and everyday needs. This approach not only drives the adoption of decentralized systems but also encourages continuous improvement, creating a platform that evolves with its users and their communities.

We are translating also the BlackFlagDAO (formally known as BanklessDAO), newsletter that talks about Governance in Layer 2 and also we have a DeSci Newsletter (actually in pause) that it’s related to DeSci governance.
Over the past 100+ days, I’ve been actively engaging in various forums, dedicating time to reading, learning, and offering help to others in the community. Recently, I’ve started contributing more actively to VitaDAO, diving deeper into its initiatives and vision. My focus now extends beyond VitaDAO; I am eager to explore, understand, and assist in other decentralized science (DeSci) DAO projects to further support the growth and impact of this innovative ecosystem and also Governance structure and commons good.
Final Statement:
I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the opportunity to be part of PushDAO. Being involved in this vibrant community has not only deepened my understanding of decentralized governance but also reinforced my belief in the potential of DAOs to drive meaningful innovation. I am truly thankful for the chance to collaborate, learn, and contribute alongside such talented and visionary individuals. Together, I look forward to tackling challenges, building solutions, and shaping the future of PushDAO and the broader Web3 ecosystem.
