Name/ENS: drnick.eth

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: I am looking to expand my governing responsibilities this year and I'm keen to spend some time researching the ZKsync ecosystem. I have many ideas on how L2s can and should govern themselves and will seek to influence the ZKsync governance towards maximal sovereignty.

My view on the ZK Credo: I'll be pushing for a nuanced view on "network states", an emphasis on privacy implementations of ZK and sovereignty as a primary principle of focus.

My skills + areas of expertise: I am an experienced governor both in and out of crypto. I have disciplinary expertise in Physics, Learning Theory, Computer Science, Governance Theory and Blockchain Architecture. In recent years I have focussed on DAO and decentralised governance and I am now focussed on democratic approaches to AI.

Disclosures/Conflicts: I am developing a use case specific L2. It should not be a conflict of interest, but it may influence my opinions.
