Evidence

Since my last evaluation submission, I have focused on advancing Encointer's democracy experiments while also contributing to the maintenance of the Encointer runtime. A highlight of my work is PR#456 which introduces one-person-one-vote (1p1v) experiments on the Encointer Network. This is a pioneering initiative within the Polkadot ecosystem and holds potential for influencing alternative governance models, such as sub-treasury management or petition systems on Kusama and Polkadot. I’m eager to see how this will unfold.

While this achievement was a team effort, my role centered on providing conceptual leadership and specification. I led the implementation of key features, enabling communities to allocate treasury funds using 1p1v democracy and to support petitions. Additionally, I developed testing environments using agent-based e2e simulations on a local testnet to validate the new democratic processes.

Beyond my contributions to Encointer, I remained an active member of the community. I spoke at Decoded 2024 and participated in the in-person fellowship meeting in Brussels.

Voting record

Ranks Activity thresholds Agreement thresholds Member's voting activities Comments
I 90% N/A 2 eligible referenda: #117 #150 which missed my attention
II 80% N/A No eligible referenda since my promotion to rank II
III 70% 100%
IV 60% 90%
V 50% 80%
VI 40% 70%

I'll take care to improve my voting/monitoring activity in the future. While still at rank I, I was under the wrong impression that rank I had nothing to vote on anyway and didn't monitor referenda closely. I do appreciate the new subsquare feature which directly shows me the referenda I should vote on. No more excuses now.

Misc

  • Question(s):

  • Concern(s):

  • Comment(s):

    • I do not take a salary from Encointer Association. Therefore, no treasury grants that went to Encointer went into my efforts listed above.
    • I'm de-facto code owner of a systemchain (Encointer) since way before its first block. My dedication to Encointer and its runtime will be unaffected by whatever rank the fellowship grants me.
