2. Delegate Intro
Michigan Blockchain is a student-run organization at the University of Michigan, involved in building blockchain leaders since 2019. We offer our members educational and professional development, in addition to project-based opportunities. Over the past six years, Michigan Blockchain has partnered with over 20 organizations and has governed a combined $30M in delegations. All new members go through a semester-long cohort that teaches them about the fundamentals of blockchain and provides them exposure to a diversity of blockchain applications. Our educational program prepares members for organizational involvement through three main avenues: governance, consulting, and investment.
3. Do you have any core values you stick to when voting?
- Fostering an inclusive community that encourages diversity, education, and open-minded discussions to produce the best ideas
- Ensuring sustainability through the long-term success of the protocol, along with governance token value accrual for the benefit of the DAO without negatively impacting dapp users

4. Disclosure/possible conflicts of interest
Michigan Blockchain participates in governance for multiple DAOs including Uniswap, Arbitrum, Compound, Origin Protocol, AAVE, Stader Labs, and Morpho. While some of these protocols are competitors with each other (Compound, AAVE, and Morpho) individuals that contribute to one protocol do not contribute across competitors. We will vote to abstain if a conflict of interest does arise and will state why.
