Nominated by their contributions to the $SUSHI community

Quentin is the Head of Infrastructure at BitMEX, and has been in the cryptocurrency industry since ~2012 (although definitely not buying pizza, nor $PIZZA). Quentin believes in the decentralization of finance, in order to guarantee fair access to financial instruments to every individuals, regardless of their social status or nationality. Quentin has been watching & participating in the #governance of $SUSHI since it's inception, only to start moderating Discord shortly thereafter during the hand-over to $SBF. As a trusted member of the ecosystem, Quentin would ensure that the community is heard in governance conversations, that builders are rewarded, and that the $SUSHI Swap Platform can be made accessible equitably to everyone.

Role & Responsibilities

The multi-sig owners will be entrusted to empower & shepherd $SUSHI within the industry. Amongst other responsibilities, the multi-sig owners will be responsible for organizing future votes to build what is in the best long-term interest of $SUSHI and its community; deploying & executing contract changes; and managing treasury & grants.

Subject to future community vote, the multi-sig owners may be superseded by a DAO mechanism - the multi-sig owners would then be tasked to ensure a smooth migration can occur.

The vote

As promised during the $SUSHI handover to @SBF_Alameda, $SUSHI is now organizing the first governance elections in order to transfer ownership over to a multi-sig wallet. The vote is open to any $SUSHI-ETH LP (aka SUSHIPOWAH) stakeholders. You may vote on any number of candidates, which were earlier nominated from the open vote and also include some of the $SUSHI builders. The Top 9 candidates will be elected to each hold one key, where 6 will be required to make changes to $SUSHI.
