### **Vision**

1. To me, **distribution is KING**. We must become the default solution for capital allocation and leverage in DeFi.
2. Vault curators choosing which strategies to include? **[Summer.fi](http://Summer.fi).**
3. Exchanges seeking new yield sources to power their earn programs? **[Summer.fi](http://Summer.fi).**
4. Fintechs and neobanks looking for standout products in a sea of competition? **[Summer.fi](http://Summer.fi).**
5. Treasury desks and market makers wanting to borrow against their collateral at lower rates than traditional loans? **[Summer.fi](http://Summer.fi).**
6. **DISTRIBUTION. DISTRIBUTION. DISTRIBUTION.**
7. In my opinion, this is ultimately what will drive value across the entire ecosystem.

* * *

### **Action Plan**

1. In addition to collaborating with [@Recognized\_Delegates](https://forum.summer.fi/groups/recognized_delegates) on [Summer.fi](http://Summer.fi)’s long-term growth, I’ll focus on building and incentivizing strategies to make [Summer.fi](http://Summer.fi) a core offering for the players above.
2. Should we develop a BD plan to engage decision-makers responsible for passive income and earn products at these institutions?
3. Should we create more incentives for the first waves of integrators?
4. I’m here to work with all of you to explore how we can gain even more traction and market share!

* * *

### **Background**

1. I was one of the first contributors to [Summer.fi](http://Summer.fi), back when it was still called Oasis.
2. I’m passionate about building a better financial system powered by crypto rails.
3. I’ve been in the crypto space for over 7 years, working in and alongside fintechs, exchanges, market makers, and neobanks.
4. A bit of a _Pepperidge Farm remembers_ moment: I was there during the blocksize wars, the 2017 ICO boom, the birth of the first AMMs in DeFi Summer and much more.
5. I hope to leverage this experience to help us build the best way to allocate and leverage capital in DeFi.

Hello @BaptistellaLabs and welcome to the fold! Great to see the clarity and conviction in your delegate statement.

I really like the way you frame Lazy Summer Protocol as potential infrastructure for neobanks, exchanges, and treasuries.

Looking forward to your takes on the [**vault tokenisation RFC**](https://forum.summer.fi/t/rfc-transfer-vault-rewards-from-staking-to-merkl-and-enable-tokenisation-of-vault-shares/279), [**SUMR readiness discussion**](https://forum.summer.fi/t/rfc-when-and-under-what-circumstances-should-sumr-transfers-be-enabled/242), and any BD-related thoughts around the path to [**$1B TVL**](https://forum.summer.fi/t/rfc-the-only-way-out-is-up-the-path-to-1b-tvl-is-10x-from-here/250). Your background across fintech and market structure could be a nice unlock as we think through partner strategy and adoption layers.
