I’m Citizen42, proud to present my delegate platform, driven by a deep admiration for Compound and its mission in shaping DeFi’s lending landscape and setting precedents in web3. Since engaging on this forum back in 2022 I’ve closely observed Compound’s governance, resilience and evolution, building a nuanced understanding of its potential and vision. With years of hands-on governance experience across many projects, most notable Threshold Network and Paraswap where I’ve shaped decisions, driven growth and bridged communities.
I am confident and feel uniquely equipped to contribute meaningfully as a delegate to Compounds future and to take a more active stance on governance process as whole.
My track record reflects a commitment to sustainable innovation and user-centric outcomes, making me a strong fit to advance Compound’s mission with diligence and insight.

Background and Expertise
I’ve honed my governance skills across protocols:
- Threshold Network: Nominated for Epoch 6 of the Integrations Guild, advocating for interoperability growth and innovation.
- Paraswap: Active delegate and Growth Work Group member,
- Gearbox: Contributed to votes and technical discussions, blending analytics with community focus.
My contributor work has sharpened my ability to dissect proposal mechanics and rally consensus, a dual lens I’ll bring to Compound.
Engagement with Compound
Since 2022, I’ve tracked Compound’s upgrades and governance, inspired by its resilience through market turmoil. As a DeFi user since 2020, I see Compound as lending’s gold standard, a passion driving me to step up now, especially when the protocol faces some challanges from other projects in the sector and is preparing for future growth, I’d like to add nuance and help to further my vision for next iterations.
Voting Philosophy and Focus
I prioritise sustainability, user empowerment and risk management. I commit in assessing proposals for long-term health and DeFi’s ethos.
Focus Areas:
- Push integrations, cross chain interop to expand access.
- Strengthen risk frameworks for volatile markets and advocate for best assets approval on existing Comets
I envision Compound leading with innovation and stability—a balance I’ll champion.
COI:
Transparency is key to my governance approach. I currently:
- Participate in governance and contribute to Gearbox, Paraswap and Threshold Network and serve as a delegate and Growth Work Group member at Paraswap.
- Hold no significant stakes in competing lending protocols beyond typical DeFi user activity .
If a proposal involves a protocol where I’m active (e.g., any above mentioned integrations affecting Compound), I’ll disclose the conflict in my vote rationale and recuse myself if it compromises neutrality. My focus remains Compound’s success.
I’m eager to earn trust through action. Compound’s mission fuels my DeFi journey and I’d be honored to contribute.
Get in touch if any questions, I’m here to collaborate!
