Epoch 4 Community Council Seat Nominations

Pursuant to the unanimously passed SLURP-12 | Community Council Seats we're proud to present the candidates for the next stake.link Community Council election!

The candidates for this election cycle are being sourced from the #epoch-4-council-nominations channel on the stake.link Discord!

Voting Process

You will be able to vote for multiple candidates with any amount of your voting power that you desire. You will need to know how much voting power total you have, as SnapShot doesn’t do a super job of indicating this. It can be helpful to identify your voting power using read only mode if you don’t want to connect your wallet to check on the stake.link UI. Note also that unstaked/unlocked SDL and SDL in your SushiSwap LP position confers voting power, but at a 1:1 rate with reSDL (meaning 1 unlocked SDL confers 1 SDL worth of voting power, while 1 SDL locked for 4 years confers 9 SDL worth of voting power).

Your Candidates

BuffTuck (aka Michael) bufftuck_ on Discord

"I self nominate. I am a current representative of the community . I would love to continue being the voice of the community. I haven’t missed any votes from the council (typically voting same day once the consensus of the community has been reached) and have set up a snapshot system to gauge the communities opinion before the council votes to ensure the representation is accurate. I love Sdl and stLINK. I have been trying to post more SLURPs this go around and getting the community engaged on the forum adn in telegram. Regardless of my seat i will be remaining in the community for the foreseeable future. Ask me anything in telegram or discord and ill be glad to answer. @Bufftuck_ on twitter @Michael3711 on telegram Wallet is the one i vote on and will be provided if i win"

Jesse (26jesse)

"I nominate myself. I am a huge fan of Chainlink and SDL. My skills include being understanding to others and a hard worker. I want to run for the Council seat to push SDL's vision as the driving force for innovation beyond its liquid staking aspects. I have also helped report bug and issues to certain websites and staking issues to the mods. I will contribute in promoting SDL beyond the Chainlink community. My goal is to make SDL a household name. I will be free for communication on Discord and X and Telegram.

My X is @JudsonSpecchio My Telegram is @l26jessel

My public wallet address is 0xacEE2987F25F97a85B5b4Df8faDb4aF5c9748C4d"

Ari

"GM dear DAO, I’d like to nominate Ari once again for a community council seat in the upcoming epoch. As the ecosystem matures and accelerates, it's been inspiring to witness the DAO evolve. Especially seeing more community-driven proposals, sharper dialogue, and a growing awareness of both challenges and opportunities ahead. With more proposals coming in and contributors legends like @Asymmetric stepping forward, it really feels like the community is finding its voice and direction.

From recognizing the potential of LINK liquid staking early on, to consistently advocating for better user experience and more thoughtful, data-informed approaches, he’s remained focused on what can genuinely help the protocol evolve. He cares deeply about making things more accessible and understandable for both current and future participants. Whether as a council or as a dedicated community member, he’s here to help move things forward.

There’s still plenty of work ahead, but the growing alignment across the ecosystem makes the future feel bright. Ari’s ready to continue doing his part, collaboratively and with an open mind.

And a gentle nudge: if you’ve been thinking about nominating yourself, the time is now. The more voices we have at the table, the stronger and more resilient this DAO becomes.

We’re all in this together.
