Tally Delegate Profile: Tané - tanegov.eth's Delegate Profile
Introduction
Tané is formed with a group of crypto-native product builders, based in Tokyo, Dubai and New York. We are backed by SoftBank, and Japanese tech giants like DeNA, GREE, MIXI, and closely work with the big Japanese enterprises and have great relationship with Japanese crypto communities.
Our investment arm has invested in and supported various innovating projects that contribute to the decentralized society enabled by the new blockchain technology. Our network operation entity started directly contributing to the ecosystem by being node operators for the core infrastructures and protocols that make Web3 move forward and contributors to the DAOs that manage them. We have been active as delegates in Arbitrum, Optimism, Uniswap, Lido and more.
Takeshi, Head of Network Operations, who worked for Twitter as a senior software engineer and for SmartNews, a Japanese unicorn startup that provides a news aggregation mobile app with 30M MAU as a product manager, is the main representative of the account.

Our contributions to Compound governance
Compound is one of the most established and significant protocols in the DeFi ecosystem. We believe that supporting its healthy growth and sustainability is crucial for the continued development of DeFi as a whole.
At Tané, we aim to make constructive contributions to the governance process by actively participating in proposal reviews, engaging in discussions, and voting decisively. Leveraging our unique position that bridges the Japanese and global markets, we strive to bring fresh perspectives and value to the Compound community.
Moreover, we place great importance on building open and collaborative relationships with other participants and community members, supporting the growth of both the protocol and the broader ecosystem.
Our Skills and Areas of Expertise
Technical and Ecosystem Knowledge
We bring unique expertise as product builders (entrepreneurs, software engineers, and product managers) in the tech industry, leveraging our experience to provide critical feedback and insights on technical upgrades and challenges. These experiences enable us to contribute meaningfully to the growth and sustainability of the ecosystem.
Validator Expertise
Our network operation entity has contributed to the crypto ecosystem as validators for core infrastructures and protocols such as Ethereum, Avalanche, Celestia, Secret Network and more. Through these activities, we have gained valuable insights into protocol operations and security, which we aim to apply in governance discussions and DAO contributions.
Japan and Asia-based Representation
There are many users and traders using crypto products in Japan, but there are no prominent delegates who actively participate in and contribute to DAO governance from Japan yet. We are aiming to be the one who represents Japanese and broader Asian users and token holders by being active in the governance, leveraging partnerships with Japanese enterprises and making meaningful impacts on the protocols and the ecosystem.
Values and Decision-Making Approach
We have established our Delegate Core Values as below and demonstrated our delegate activities and decision makings based on them.
Integrity
We value integrity a lot. We believe integrity is the most important virtue even in the industry that values trustless and permissionless. In fact, even though we should aim for governance minimization in the end, the protocols should still need governance and it requires capable and sincere participants. We should be the one of them.
Diversity
Diversity is one of the most important values to achieve decentralization. We are very unique in various perspectives including the geographical diversity (Japan and Asia). We also value diversities provided by other actors and are willing to appreciate them and collaborations with them.
Practicality
We believe in the progressive decentralization. While considering the decentralization is the ultimate goal for crypto/blockchain projects to achieve, we sometimes value practicality and approaches that get things done rather than getting stuck in pursuing the “decentralization” too much from the start.
Transparency
We believe transparency is the vital trait in the decentralized systems. We communicate our findings, feedback, opinions, disagreements and praises in a clear and constructive manner. We believe transparent communications should lead to better discussions and decisions to thrive.
Disclosures/Conflicts
Our investment arm, operating as a separate entity, has invested in a number of crypto startups. While these investments may present potential conflicts of interest in certain situations, we do not believe there are any clear conflicts in terms of contributing to this protocol at the time of writing this profile.
We are also active participants in other DAOs, including Arbitrum, Optimism (as an S6 Grants Council member), Uniswap, and others in the future.
To ensure transparency, we will update this thread with our voting activities and the rationales behind them. Please feel free to reach out to us anytime with your opinions, comments, or feedback.
