As an individual my contributions to Arbitrum are two-fold:

1. I am a member of Castle Capital, an Arbitrum native community that has been contributing to research on Arbitrum and governance. I have contributed as an analyst in investigating the sustainability of proposals for the STIP grants.

With this efforts, we have contributed to provide context and clarity in the interests of other delegates which had to analyze 100+ proposals, as well as contributing with our on-chain native perspective to the discussion.

We have also created free and public tools that simplified and summarized the proposals.

The values driving our STIP votes:

2. As an inividual I am a researcher and writer that has been creating extensive educational content on Arbitrum. My articles are mostly educational and have touched different aspects of Arbitrum: governance, tokenomics, projects building on it. One of my favourite article format consist in allowing all users to have a simple understanding of the technical updates happening in Arbitrum. Translating complexity into simple terms is fundamental to empower users to understand the key values, and unique proposition of Arbitrum. All of my articles are also shared on Twitter as threads to increase their reach.
