Elections of the Aera Vault Management Council (AVMC)

In line with [GP-6] Treasury Management Proposal (currently in the ideation phase), the proposal is to grant certain powers to the Aera Vault Management Council (AVMC) for the initial setup of the upcoming Aera Vault.

To enable the creation of the AVMC by the DAO should GP-6 pass, elections will be held prior to the conclusion of the GP-6 vote (which begins on April 25).

In the event that GP-6 does not pass, the results of the current elections will be immediately invalidated.

All members of the Seamless DAO are encouraged to participate in the voting process. They may vote for as many candidates as they wish. The top three candidates will be selected as members of the AVMC.

3. Richy Basic Info Name/Alias: Richy

Discord Handle: richyhayek

ETH Address (used for potential multisig, should be compatible with Gnosis Safe): I will shortly edit the post with a valid address that can be utilized for the gnosis safe

Statement of Intent My background / qualifications: I am active DAO member across multiple communities, such as Ampleforth (FORTH DAO). I have been an avid DeFi user/participant since 2020. I have a mix of understanding the user and DAO side - and am also a core contributor to Seamless.

Previously, I have also dealt with treasury management operations and also spent some time at a crypto hedge fund. As such, I think I can bring a blend of DeFi-nativeness, DAO/governane experience and crypto market experience in helping setup the Aera Vault for an efficient and prudent approach of treasury management for the DAO.

My reasons for wanting to serve as an Aera Vault Guardian: I would like to continue to contribute to the Seamless Protocol and community. I believe being an Aera Vault multsig holder is a serious responsibility. I hope to be a good steward of the DAO and wish to see the DAO effectively take over control of these operations once a base-level robustness is setup in the strategies. I believe this initial foray into Aera Vault strategies will represent a pathway forward to the long-term self-sustainability of the DAO and wider Seamless ecosystem. This likely will represent the first step in a decades-long journey of the DAO’s treasury management and broader growth. As such, I’d like to be a part of this initial baby step and help support a smooth setup and smooth transition to the DAO.

I confirm that:

I understand this would be an ongoing role that requires active participation: Agree I understand that this is an unpaid position: Agree I understand that this work is a significant commitment: Agree I testify that I have no formal relation with or receive payments from the Aera Finance team.
