INTRODUCTION

PRO Delegators is a validator and infrastructure provider built around Nuxian Labs, a Swiss-based blockchain development team.

We operate across multiple networks including Cosmos, Osmosis and dYdX, with a strong focus on performance, data infrastructure, and governance participation.

Our approach is simple, run reliable infrastructure, stay involved, and contribute where it actually matters.

EXPERIENCE

PRO Delegators sits at the intersection of trading, infrastructure, and governance.

  • Background in trading and risk management with more than 15 years of experience

  • Founder of PRO Indicators, an active trading community

  • Nuxian Labs, with 10+ years in IT and several years in blockchain infrastructure

On the technical side, we build and operate:

  • High-performance validators and RPC infrastructure

  • On-chain tools and monitoring systems

  • Non-custodial smart contract solutions

On the governance side, we have been consistently active across the ecosystem. We are currently the most engaged contributor of all time on the Cosmos Hub forum, based on community feedback and participation metrics.On the governance side, we have maintained a consistently high level of involvement across the ecosystem. Through Govmos, we are currently the most engaged contributor of all time on the Cosmos Hub forum, based on participation metrics and community feedback (https://forum.cosmos.network/u?order=likes_received&period=all).

This is not just a matter of activity, but of substance. We have published numerous governance analyses and research pieces, contributing to key discussions around the evolution of the Hub. Over time, this work has received broad support, both from community members and core stakeholders, including the foundation.

Governance, for us, is not occasional participation, it is a continuous and structured contribution.

WHY LIDO

Lido sits at a critical intersection between infrastructure, capital, and governance.

We believe we can contribute with a slightly different angle:

  • Infrastructure-first approach (validators, RPC, monitoring)

  • Strong knowledge on applied financial risk management and market structure

  • Pragmatic governance participation, focused on execution rather than narratives

MOTIVATION

Our motivation is straightforward.

We are already active in governance, already operating infrastructure, and already working with institutional-aligned participants.

Acting as a delegate is simply an extension of what we are already doing.

We aim to bring consistency, clarity, and a long-term view to governance decisions.

Governance Update: Our Rationale on the Latest Lido Snapshot Proposals

Hello Lido community and fellow delegates,

We are sharing our voting rationale for the most recent batch of Snapshot proposals. Our decisions are consistently guided by a commitment to Lido’s sustainable growth, operational efficiency, and long-term decentralization.

Here is a breakdown of our positions on the latest initiatives.

1. Protocol Economics and Capital Efficiency

Proposal: NEST: Automated LDO Buyback and Liquidity Provisioning
Our Vote: FOR

Rationale: Establishing a structured, on-chain mechanism for LDO buybacks utilizing treasury stETH is an important evolution in Lido’s capital efficiency[1]. While this proposal specifically focuses on laying the technical groundwork rather than immediately triggering repurchases, it is a highly pragmatic step[1][2]. Building the NEST modular architecture ensures the DAO is technically prepared to execute repurchases systematically and transparently once specific market conditions are met[1][3]. It moves value capture away from ad-hoc decisions and toward predictable protocol mechanics.

2. Node Operator Management and Decentralization

Proposal: Adopt the Node Operator Type Assessment Framework for CMv2
Our Vote: FOR

Rationale: As the Curated Module scales, relying on legacy “tiers” is no longer sufficient[4]. This framework introduces a necessary, structured assessment logic that categorizes operators by distinct contribution profiles (such as Public Good, Extra Effort, or Decentralization)[4][5]. Standardizing how these types are assigned drastically increases operational transparency[5]. It provides current and prospective Node Operators with clear, predictable guidelines, empowering the Curated Module Committee (CMC) to manage risk and incentives with far greater precision[4].

Proposal: Should Pier Two continue in the Curated and SDVT sets following the acquisition by Bitmine Immersion Technologies?
Our Vote: FOR

Rationale: The CMC has thoroughly vetted Pier Two’s acquisition by Bitmine (now operating as MAVAN) and confirmed that there are no planned changes to the existing team, infrastructure, or key management practices[6][7]. Because the underlying operational standards remain strictly intact, there is no justification to disrupt their participation. In fact, the additional resources and institutional support brought by Bitmine should only strengthen their reliability within the Lido ecosystem[7].

3. Security Infrastructure

Proposal: Transition from GateSeals to CircuitBreaker
Our Vote: FOR

Rationale: Upgrading Lido’s emergency pause infrastructure is a highly practical security enhancement. The current GateSeal mechanism functions like a single-use fuse: it expires, requires regular redeployment, and forces repetitive DAO votes simply to maintain a baseline level of protection. Transitioning to a permanent, resettable CircuitBreaker system eliminates this recurring administrative drag. By allowing the committee to extend its authority through periodic 365-day “heartbeats,” we maintain the exact same trust assumptions while protecting the DAO’s bandwidth for higher-impact initiatives.

4. Treasury Operations and Agility

Proposal: Increase Easy Track transfer limits for Liquidity Observation Lab to align with EGG
Our Vote: FOR

Rationale: This is a straightforward administrative alignment. The DAO has already approved the underlying budget for the Liquidity Observation Lab (LOL)[8], but the current Easy Track security limits are artificially restricting the flow of funds required to execute that mandate[9]. Increasing the stETH limit and establishing a dedicated stablecoin track removes unnecessary friction[9]. It eliminates the need for manual swaps and complex coordination, allowing the BORG Foundation to execute its operations smoothly and securely[9].

We Want to Hear From You

Governance is fundamentally a collaborative effort, and we deeply value the diverse perspectives within the Lido community.
