Delegate Statement

Presentation

We’re the SEED Latam delegation led by Joxes, aiming to push for protocol decentralization & a better ecosystem for the Optimism Collective while we help Latam communities to benefit and get involved.

What is SEED Latam?

SEED Latam is an ecosystem that aims to promote knowledge and critical thinking about Web3 in Spanish, as well as empower future Web3 leaders.

Our work focuses on two fundamental pillars: governance and education. Through governance, we seek to raise the Latin American voice, promote participation, and empower those delegates who represent the region. While in the educational field, we continue generating content to encourage the active participation of more people in the Web3 ecosystem. Since 2020 we have brought valuable content to members and encourage collaborative and cooperative learning.

Our mission and values

We work to make Optimism governance and ecosystem better and offer a valuable point of view according to the following values:

Transparency: we are believers that communication and accounting are the fundamental pillars of any governance. We will encourage and motivate this behavior where it is reasonable to apply it.
Neutrality: any chain, application, and community member should be treated equally without preferences other than the interests of Optimism Collective.
Decentralization: should be palpable in every corner of Optimism. We will be in favor of any initiative that leads Optimism as a whole to go into "autopilot" mode, subtracting central entities over time, if it is appropriate to do so.
Quality over quantity: Expansion is meaningless without results, we are advocates that every action in which the Optimism Collective has an investment grade should be justified and with reasonable prospects of success.

Delegation team

Each delegation in SEED Latam has its own work structure and dedicated contributors. For this delegation, we work under the following structure:

Leader: [me, Joxes!], I’m in charge of representing SEED Latam and carrying out the tasks as a delegate in Optimism governance. This includes voting, providing official feedback, submitting proposals, being the point of contact for delegators and the foundation, and other functions that are expected of this role.
Dedicated contributors: our passionate collaborators who love Optimism and dedicate time to its governance. They help this delegation fulfill its responsibilities and provide their expert insight on different topics such as DeFi, infrastructure, and DAO processes and contribute to creative action for the delegation. Also, they’re very active in the forum.
- Manugotsuka: he collaborates with supporting Optimism’s Anticapture Commission responsibilities by assisting the delegation with specific tasks.
- Pumbi.eth: He is collaborating in the day-to-day activities of the delegation, such as in the Mission Request tracking.

Top Issues

Treasury management

We believe that the Treasury should allocate its resources towards initiatives that benefit Optimism and public goods around its ecosystem. Expenses must demonstrate productive results in accordance with the optimistic vision.

Grant funding

We champion transparency and prioritize quality over quantity. We support grants that foster the sustainable development of the Optimism ecosystem while endorsing initiatives with accountable funding. We are not interested in “wagmi” projects but those that can do a good job and set realistic goals.

Public goods

Making public goods often lacks proper incentives and can be challenging. As a fundamental part of permissionless and decentralized protocols, they should be funded in a way that not only continuity of the same but incentivizes more contributions. Our approach is to support public goods and transparent and reasonable forms of financing which preserve the open-source ethos.
