Batux Delegate Thread

Delegate information:

Introduction
Name: batuX

Background: seed round investor in LidoDAO (December 2020). Still holding onto my position. Been supporting the DAO on the sidelines over the last 5 years, my intention is to get more involved with the DAO and represent LDO holder interests.

I have been at Binance from 2018 to 2021 where I was part of the ventures and Launchpad team, BNB chain, and later on led buizdev at CMC.

I led the seed round into Celestia in 2019 / 2020 and today, am sitting on the Board of Directors of the Celestia Foundation.

I have an Echo group where I sometimes syndicate deals called the Tea Club.

Expertise: industry context and network. context around LidoDAO and its evolution since its inception. multi-year active participant in DeFi on Ethereum.

Motivation: representing LDO token holder rights. holding the DAO accountable to the use of funds and its growth initiatives.
Values and Decision-Making Approach: I believe in a central organizational structure, with non-apologetic execution, prioritization of business (ie token holder interests), whilst maintaining a fine balance in the relationship to critical stakeholders—during a company’s growth phase, with careful, controlled, progressive decentralization later on. I don’t believe in unquestioned platform / stakeholder risks, but am of the perspective that the DAO should see itself as a business with corporate interests rather than being a public goods foundation. I believe in central founder-led execution to run the organization as effective as possible when failure risks are still astronomically high, and see myself as someone who contributes perspective, sparks conversations, but entrusts final decision-making to a strong leadership. I represent LDO token holder interests.
Public Acceptance: I accept Lido DAO delegate Сode of Сonduct (link) and Aligned with Lido’s Vibe (Purpose, Mission, Vision)
Disclosures: I do not plan to apply as a delegate to other DAOs as of now, if things change, the DAO will be notified. I am a LDO holder and will be self-delegating my initial tokens.
