Hello Threshold community!

Following the procedure stated in GP-11 / TIP-031 regulating the Guild Committee Elections and Nominations, we open the nominations for the elections of the Treasury Guild Committee Members.

In this 6th epoch we vote 4 seats. These 4 seats correspond to the members that were elected in August 2023 elections , i.e., East, Ben Longstaff, Ramaruro and Figue. For a complete review of the elections timelines, number of seats and community members elected, see this Notion space.

The TTG seats are currently held by community members:

We encourage everyone to participate and provide their nominations, any DAO member can be nominated for an upcoming guild committee seat, including self-nominations. Bear in mind that a person who is nominated by another member must confirm their intent to be a candidate.

Focus of our Treasury Guild

The Threshold Treasury Guild is responsible for effectively managing the Threshold DAO treasury. This includes growing Protocol Owned Liquidity (POL), researching / implementing best practice treasury management strategies, executing ecosystem liquidity incentives, diversifying the treasury, etc.

Timeline for the Elections

  1. July 29th - August 12th - Nomination period, where you can nominate yourself or nominate another member of the community by replying to this forum post.
  2. August 12th, 3pm ET - Community Call to meet our nominees. We have traditionally held a call to meet our nominees and allow them to introduce themselves to the community and explain why they are running for our guilds. This time, we will make use of this allotted time in the case we have new candidates participating.
  3. August 12th - August 18th - Snapshot vote.
  4. August 19th - August 31st - Transition period: onboarding and multisig swaps.
  5. September 1st, 2024 - The new term starts for the elected members, which will serve 1-year term: September 1st 2024 - August 31st 2025.

What do I need to become a Threshold Network Guild Committee Member?

Becoming a committee member would be easy and smooth, the elections of the guilds are staggered, thus you will have a good onboarding experience led by your peers. To be part of our guilds, we request our members to own a hardware wallet. While prior knowledge and experience with multisigs on mainnet, L2’s, and Solana/Base networks are beneficial, they are not mandatory.

If you have any questions join us on Discord and ask away!

Hi Threshold DAO frens,

I am excited to submit my nomination for the Treasury Guild Committee.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Bakhrom. I’ve been following NuCypher since 2008. I participated in WorkLock staking on Coinlist, and since then, I’ve been staking Nu tokens. I converted them into T tokens once NuCypher and Keep merged into one project.

In 2022, I believe ThresholdDAO was launched. I wanted to apply to join, but I was so busy with other projects and didn’t have any free time.

Now, I have some free time and would love to contribute to Threshold DAO.

My background and experience:

  1. In 2017, I created an ICO due diligence team. We analyzed blockchain projects and market opportunities, created a due diligence model, and invested in 50+ top projects(Chainlink, Ankr, Bluzelle, Filecoin and etc) as a pool of investors.
  2. In 2017, I developed a P2P non-custodial exchange on Ethereum.
  3. Since 2021, I have worked as a DeFi Strategist and Consultant in a syndicate. I have consulted DeFi analysts on portfolio management, due diligence, and risk assessment. I developed high-yield strategies, resulting in a portfolio ROI of 157% over two years.
  4. I have participated in Twitter spaces as a speaker talking about Web3. I attended Token2049 and DevConnect and spoke on stages.
  5. I am an early adopter and expert in DeFi tools like Uniswap, Curve, Balancer, Pendle, Aura Finance, and the EigenLayer ecosystem. I earned 183% on restaking in 4 months.
  6. Since 2022, I have been a founding team member of Admeal, a startup that is a digital collectibles marketplace with DeFi yield for CPG brands and consumers.
  7. I have contributed to Rootstock and Stacks and am now contributing to ReFi DAO.

Before coming to Web3, I worked as an IT infrastructure manager in investment banks Deutsche Bank, VTB Capital, and Renaissance Capital. Later, I helped launch a venture studio, and within 1.5 years, we tested 10 ideas and achieved $440K ARR.

How I can contribute to ThresholdDAO as a part of the Treasury Guild Committee:

  • Diversify the treasury portfolio: Using my due diligence and strategic investment experience, I can help identify and integrate resilient assets that perform well in both bull and bear markets.
  • Grow protocol-owned liquidity: Leveraging my expertise in DeFi tools and high-yield strategies, I can develop and implement effective POL farming strategies to maximize returns.
  • Incentivize platform activity: By designing strong liquidity incentives and collaborating with other protocols, I can drive more activity to the Threshold platform and increase TVL.
  • Strategic collaborations: My extensive network with other Web3 founders and experience in public speaking and industry events can be utilized to establish governance positions and strategic partnerships with other protocols.

The Treasury Guild Committee consists of strong and experienced experts. I believe that if I join, I can make the Treasury Guild Committee even stronger, so that together we can grow Threshold DAO products faster.

I see many opportunities for Threshold product growth. Let’s skyrocket together.

Cheers,
Bakhrom.

I’d like to nominate myself, @Wailoaloa

I’ve been involved in Threshold network since the Playing for Keeps promotion in April 2020, and have held my tokens (KEEP, then migrated to T) since then. Back in 2017, I was writing whitepaper analysis including early coverage of NuCypher.

Regarding Treasury management:
I’m a signing member on multiple SAFE and multisig treasuries and their management.
This includes as a core team member of Shinsei Galverse, Japan’s leading NFT project, which has managed millions of $ of volume via its multisig in a low-risk funds management approach.
It also includes as a signing member of the Mezo Treasury, another project under the Thesis banner.
Other treasuries and signatory roles include in multiple partybid, art collection, and onchain cultural groups (e.g. FWB DAO) and related entities.

I work fulltime in web3, have been into crypto lightly since 2014 and seriously since 2017, am chronically online, fully doxxed, and have a great network across the crypto space.

While my daily work is more focused on the NFT and cultural space in crypto, I am up to date and connected across the defi space + protocols.

I am based in Australia in an Asia Pacific timezone with a great crypto network across Australia, Japan, Europe, the US, and most of Asia.

I would like to nominate myself for another term as a member of the Treasury Guild. I have been elected in this position since August 2023, but have helped out some months before in an ad hoc basis. I have participated with Threshold and Keep since 2020 with multiple collaboration areas.
In the last year I have been managing the Bond Program that allowed us to acquire tBTC with T Tokens in a smooth way without disrupting the market. This diversification of assets is a mandate of the Treasury Guild and an imperative for managing volatility and extending the reach of our Treasury over time.

I’d like to nominate @wuji who’s been taking over sap in incentive management. There’s a lot we can do as we’ve been refactoring the whole incentive strategy. I’m willing to also be re-nominated but would rather someone else does it for me as I believe only others can judge you work fairly.

Cheers,

Figue
