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.

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.
