GaryPalmerJr.eth (BAYC #3636) My ApeCoin DAO Delegate Statement 1. Motivations: My motivation to serve as a governance delegate for the ApeCoin DAO stems from a deep passion for advancing decentralized identity solutions, empowering Web3 users, and driving innovation within the NFT and blockchain space. I believe in the power of decentralized governance to build lasting, community-driven ecosystems, and I’m excited about the potential of the ApeCoin ecosystem to lead the way. As an active participant in the BAYC/MAYC community, I am committed to helping shape the future of ApeCoin in ways that benefit both the Ape community and the broader Web3 world. 2. Relevant Skills & Experience: I bring over a decade of experience in blockchain technology, digital identity, and decentralized protocols, particularly as a recognized voting delegate in the ENS DAO and community liaison for ENS Labs. My extensive work with ENS has equipped me with a deep understanding of Web3 governance, decentralized identity solutions, and the technical needs of scaling ecosystems. I have also been involved in leading and hosting key discussions with industry leaders, both online and at IRL events, focused on blockchain adoption and innovation. 3. Engagement & Contributions to the ApeCoin Ecosystem: As a proud owner of BAYC #3636, I am deeply embedded in the Yuga Labs ecosystem and have continuously supported initiatives that strengthen our collective identity. My contributions to the ApeCoin ecosystem include working on forward-thinking projects such as the Apechain Name Service (ANS), which aims to bring EVM-compatible, cross-chain identity solutions to ApeCoin holders using the ENS protocol. I have a proven track record of building solutions that empower communities, and I intend to bring that same passion and dedication to ApeCoin DAO governance. 4. Values & Vision: I believe in a future where ApeCoin serves as the foundation for new innovations, not only within NFTs but also across decentralized finance, identity, and entertainment. My vision is to help the ApeCoin DAO maintain its core principles of decentralization, while embracing new opportunities that come with the growth of Web3 technologies. As a delegate, I will advocate for proposals that prioritize long-term sustainability, inclusivity, and the empowerment of individual members. 5. Communication & Availability: I am committed to being an active and accessible delegate. I will engage regularly with the community on platforms like Twitter (X), Discord, and the ApeCoin DAO forums, ensuring open lines of communication for any questions, concerns, or feedback. I will also ensure that I stay up-to-date on governance proposals and community discussions, so that my decisions as a delegate reflect the needs and desires of the ApeCoin community.
