CryptoCrew Validators Governance Update December 2024

2. January 2025

Dear Community,

We are delighted to share an update on our governance activities for December 2024. This month, we diligently screened more than 40 networks and participated in voting on 63 proposals across 26 different chains, consistently advocating for the best interests of our delegators.

Your delegations empower us to maintain the high quality of this service, ensuring that we represent our collective interests effectively. Remember, you have the autonomy to override our votes with your preferences on any active proposal. We deeply value your trust and support in us.

Kind regards, The CryptoCrew Team ✅

 

DYDX PROTOCOL #188
Vote:abstain
Title:Kuyen Labs - VIP Affiliate Whitelist Proposal
Rationale:CryptoCrew has decided to abstain from participating in any community pool spend proposals as a matter of principle. This decision, made in April 2023, is intended to ensure that we accurately represent and uphold the interests of our community. We reserve the right to use our NO or NO_WITH_VETO option in specific cases. These cases include, but are not limited to, situations where the proposal is considered spam (i.e., irrelevant to the respective chain/community), disproportionately infringes on minority interests, or violates or encourages violation of the rules of engagement as currently established by the respective chain/community. By maintaining this stance, we aim to protect the integrity of the community and its governance processes, promote transparency, and safeguard against actions that may compromise the well-being of our members or the broader ecosystem. However, we recognize that our delegators may have differing opinions on these matters. To ensure that their voices are heard and respected, our delegators have the option to override our decision by participating in the voting process themselves. This enables a more inclusive and democratic approach to community decision-making, empowering our delegators to actively shape the direction and values of the community in alignment with their own perspectives and priorities.
