About Us:

Argonaut is a team of highly motivated crypto enthusiasts eager to participate in governance and make meaningful improvements where we see opportunities. Our team is diverse, with expertise on DeFi analysis, smart contract development, and research.

We chose the name Argonaut to symbolize our commitment to governance across various DAOs. Like Jason’s mythological crew, we bring together a range of skills and a pioneering spirit, dedicated to exploring new challenges and leading with innovation in decentralized governance.

Main Focus:

Our focus areas are security, fairness, and innovation.

Conflicts of Interest:

As a young team, we are currently active only in Arbitrum and Uniswap as delegates, but we plan to expand our involvement in other DAOs as we grow. We are committed to maintaining transparency in our decisions, with no hidden agendas.

We’ve been monitoring Compound Governance for the past six months and started voting on proposals with our own COMP tokens over the last five months. We created this Delegate Platform to participate more actively and add value to the DAO.

Feel free to reach out if you think we can contribute to anything the DAO needs, and please consider delegating to us to keep us incentivized to continue contributing.

  • Proposal: [Gauntlet] - Cap recommendations (01/21/25)
  • Platform: Tally
  • Vote: For
  • Reasoning: Our team support these recommendations. In order to increase capital efficiency within the Comets the proposed recommendations make perfect sense to us.
  • Proposal: Compound Safe Harbor
  • Platform: Tally
  • Vote: For
  • Reasoning: Immunefi has a proven quite positive track record and the terms seems reasonable, so we are supportive of this implementation. This is definitely a step forward bringing more security into the protocol thus increasing the trust on the DAO. By last we value the reward system for the whitehats since this action does incentivize the returning of funds if ever needed.
  • Proposal: Compound Governor Contracts Upgrade
  • Platform: Tally
  • Vote: For
  • Reasoning: After reviewing the 2 related forum posts we decided to support this proposal since it adds more governance flexibility and allows important changes the DAO can make to adjust or modify certain parameters when needed, thus directly affecting in a positive manner the decision-making process.

  • Proposals: Initialize cUSDSv3 on Base
  • Platform: Tally
  • Vote: FOR
  • Reasoning: We agree with Gauntlet recommendations for cbBTC and feel comfortable with both the audit of price feed for sUSDS. In consequence we support the proposed set of actions that this proposal will deploy if passes.

  • Proposal: Add tETH as collateral into cWstETHv3 on Mainnet
  • Platform: Tally
  • Vote: FOR
  • Reasoning: We have reviewed the risk parameters proposed by Gaunlet, as well as the forum post and proposal pull request, and have not found anything strange. These proposed actions make sense and we are in favor of them.
  • Proposal: Alternate Governance track for Market Updates - Mantle
  • Platform: Tally
  • Vote: FOR
  • Reasoning: We voted in favor of this proposal because it will speed up governance processes that are needed in a hurry, thus preventing unnecessary delays in important changes, especially when it comes to markets and what they mean. This proposal also allows the community to have more time to thoroughly review these market updates or changes. Considering the problems this proposal is trying to solve, we see all its aspects and actions to be taken if the proposal passes as positive.
  • Proposal: Delegate Compensation Program Pilot
  • Platform: Tally
  • Vote: FOR
  • Reasoning: We voted FOR this proposal because we believe it is critical for the DAO to consider incentives to keep communities active and engaged. The lack of incentives as shown in the graphs has affected the retention of delegates in the protocol. Also, the comparison with other DAOs shows how these programs have not only been successful in the retention issue, but have also improved security production because the more eyes a protocol has, the better the control. These two points represent the commitment that is needed here, and we believe the time is right to take advantage of Compound’s momentum. We are supportive of this pilot and look forward to seeing how it progresses.
  • Proposal: Add wsuperOETHb as collateral into cWETHv3 on Base
  • Platform: Tally
  • Vote: FOR
  • Reasoning: We voted FOR. We have reviewed Gaunlet’s recommendations as well as the the proposal related parts (pull request, forum post and proposed action) and have found anything out of ordinary, therefore we are in support of this proposal.
  • Proposal: Add weETH as collateral into cUSDCv3 on Mainnet
  • Platform: Tally
  • Vote: FOR
  • Reasoning: We voted FOR. Just like in our previous vote we have reviewed Gaunlet’s recommendations as well as the the proposal related parts (pull request, forum post and proposed action) and have found anything out of ordinary, therefore we are in support of this proposal.

  • Proposal: Initialize cUSDCv3 on Unichain
  • Platform: Tally
  • Vote: FOR
  • Reasoning: We have reviewed the different parts of the proposal and are in favor of it. There is nothing strange about the proposed actions nor anything we can consider risky or harmful.
  • Proposal: Compound <> Morpho <> Polygon Collaboration
  • Platform: Tally
  • Vote: FOR
  • Reasoning: This proposal is quite interesting and beneficial for the DAO, although we have certain reservations as stated in our comment on the Forum proposal, mainly about the downsides, but as stated there we believe that this experiment with Morpho is worthwhile, even if it means strengthening a competitor in the lending market, but the possible results for us and our markets are solid and valuable from our perspective. It is also quite interesting to take advantage of the deprioritization moment that Aave is going through regarding Polygon as the proposal indicates. All in all, we see a lot of positive aspects and benefits here.

  • Proposal: Add weETH as collateral into cUSDTv3 on Mainnet
  • Platform: Tally
  • Vote: FOR
  • Reasoning: After revisioning of this proposal and its respective parts we have voted FOR. The proposed actions make perfect sense and there is nothing out of ordinary in sight.
  • Proposal: 2025 Compound Growth Program - Roadmap & Renewal - [AlphaGrowth] V3
  • Platform: Tally
  • Vote: AGAINST
  • Reasoning: Since we were not part of the DAO when the previous versions of this program took place we had to get to know about their results before voting here, nevertheless and in spite of this investigation we had to do, we see with concern some of the feedback already provided by other delegates: not enough clarity on critical aspects of this proposal such as budgetary implicancies or lack of clear goals and KPIs or milestones. We also see as concerning some feedback regarding the handleling of the feedback itself that was incorporated or left away into this proposal, we cannot give our support to a proposal when we identify this kind of issues in the development of the motion. By last we have also identified as concerning the fact that there are lots of doubts about Aquifer DAO since they are, as this post found at the Tally’s proposal indicates, the legal entity behind AlphaGrowth. We see not enough responses to the related feedback provided on this topic and we can tie this up with what we have already indicated about the handleling of the feedback on this proposal. For all these reasons we voted AGAINST this proposal

  • Platform: Tally
  • Vote: FOR
  • Reasoning: We have reviewed Gaunlet’s recommendations for these rewards and see nothing out of the ordinary, so we support this proposal. The projected runways for each chain’s reward contract seem feasible given today’s numbers.
