Delegate Statement

Introduction

Hello, I’m Piotr, a long-time open-source contributor on GitHub (piotrwitek (Piotr Witek) · GitHub) with over 22.3K stars earned. I’ve been consistently contributing to open-source community projects for years and am deeply committed to the success of the LazySummer Protocol working as a full-time engineer at Summer.fi.

However, as a DAO delegate, my primary focus will be on the well-being and gains of protocol users and the community. My extensive technical knowledge and experience as a power user enable me to thoroughly understand and evaluate the risks associated with all decisions.


Goals as a Delegate

Maximize User Gains
Leveraging my experience, I will ensure that all decisions are made with the best interests of protocol users in mind, aiming to maximize their benefits.

Community-Driven Initiatives
I will support and promote community-driven initiatives, such as working groups or grant programs, that empower users to contribute directly to the protocol’s growth and development.

Inclusive Decision-Making
I will actively seek input from a diverse range of stakeholders, including small users, developers, and other contributors, to ensure that decisions reflect the needs and perspectives of the entire community — not just a vocal minority.

Recognition of Contributions
I will actively recognize and celebrate the contributions of community members, whether through shout-outs in public forums, highlighting their work in updates, or advocating for rewards and incentives for active participants.

Support Innovation
I will actively support and advocate for innovative solutions that drive the growth of the protocol.

Evaluate Risks
With a deep understanding of the technical details, I will carefully assess the risks associated with each proposal to make informed and responsible decisions.


My Vision for LazySummer Protocol

The LazySummer Protocol will become the standard for users who want to optimize yields with minimal effort. By simplifying the user experience and reducing gas costs, we can make DeFi accessible to a broader audience.

To achieve this, I envision:

  • Designing intuitive user interfaces and easy-to-use developer kits.
  • Providing tools that cater to both retail users and institutional players.
  • Prioritizing rigorous auditing, transparent governance, and user feedback to ensure the protocol remains resilient and adaptable in the rapidly evolving DeFi landscape.

By fostering a collaborative and open ecosystem, we can drive the next wave of DeFi adoption and growth.


Conflict of Interest Statement

As a full-time engineer at Summer.fi and an active participant in the LazySummer Protocol DAO, I recognize that my professional role and personal stake in the protocol could create potential conflicts of interest. To address this, I commit to the following:

  • Recusal When Necessary - In cases where a clear conflict of interest arises, I will recuse myself from voting or participating in discussions related to that proposal. My priority is to act in the best interest of the protocol and its users, not my personal or professional gain.

  • Independent Evaluation - I will ensure that all decisions are made based on an objective assessment of the proposal’s merits, risks, and benefits to the protocol and its users. My technical expertise will be used to evaluate proposals impartially, regardless of their origin or potential impact on my role at Summer.fi.

  • Community Oversight - I welcome community scrutiny and encourage open dialogue about any decisions or actions that may raise concerns. If the community believes a conflict of interest exists, I will work collaboratively to address those concerns and ensure accountability.

  • Long-Term Alignment - My personal and professional success is deeply tied to the success of the LazySummer Protocol. By prioritizing the protocol’s growth and user well-being, I believe my interests are aligned with those of the broader community. However, I remain vigilant to ensure that this alignment does not compromise my objectivity as a delegate.


Closing Statement

I am excited about the opportunity to serve as a delegate for the LazySummer Protocol. My commitment to the community, technical expertise, and dedication to transparency will guide my actions as I work to ensure the protocol’s success and the well-being of its users. Together, we can build a stronger, more inclusive, and innovative DeFi ecosystem.
