:wave: Hello everyone, my name is Marin, but you can also call me @mar1dev!
I’ve been active since the early days of Moonbeam as a co-founder of the GLMR APES DAO & later became The Great Escape CTO.

I’m genuinely passionate about everything related to Moonbeam.

I think I have a good technical understanding of Moonbeam’s technical stack because I’ve been building (and continue to do so) on this chain every day since its launch.
I previously won a 1st place bounty by Moonbeam during the Polkadot Hackaton, Europe Edition, for building a cross-chain dApp.
I also took part in the Moonbeam Accelerator with The Great Escape, the first game deployed on this blockchain.
More recently, I’ve also joined the Polkadot Developer Heroes Program as I’m currently learning intensively about Rust & Polkadot SDK.

I’d like to become a Community Delegate because I firmly believe in decentralized governance and in Moonbeam’s vision. Also, I do think I have a good knowledge of this ecosystem, generally and technically speaking, that’s why I’m writing this post today.

I try to always express my views in kind and polite ways and I obviously agree with the community Delegate Code of Conduct.

Voting activity: Voting History

  • Network: Moonbeam
  • Referendum ID: 30, 31, 32
  • Proposal title:
  1. #30 Polkadex Proposal Open/Accept HRMP channel and Register Asset xcPDEX
  2. #31 Accept/Open an HRMP channel with Composable Polkadot and register xcIBCMOVR, xcPICA, xcTIA, xcIST, xcBLD and xcATOM
  3. #32 Pendulum Proposal to Open/Accept an HRMP channel with Pendulum and register xcPEN
  • Your votes:

Aye

  • Reason:

These 3 proposals are all about opening new HRMP with several parachains: PolkaDex, Composable and Pendulum. This is of course a needed action in order to realize more cross-chains interactions. Aye!
Note: Moonbeam is way ahead of other parachains when it comes to liquidities available for other parachains tokens thanks to Stella & Beamswap. I think this is very positive and we need to go even further, as fast as we can :slight_smile:

  • Proposal title: #36 Proposal to Register Asset xcPINK
  • Your vote:

Aye

I believe listing an authentic community-based memecoin could be beneficial for Moonbeam as this narrative is quite huge on other ecosystems. Nothing serious here, just fun! :slight_smile:

  • Proposal title: #37 Register GLMR in AssetHub

Aye

I believe listing our native token on Asset Hub is a great strength of Polkadot. By having GLMR available there, it will open new perspectives that are beneficial for our ecosystem.

  • Referendum ID: 38
  • Proposal title: #38 Register Bifrost Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs) xcvASTR, xcvMANTA on Moonbeam
  • Your vote:

Aye

BiFrost is a very serious team with deep interactions to Moonbeam chain. vGLMR & vDOT for instance were great successes. I believe having more of their derivative tokens available here is definitely a good thing.

  • Proposal title: #39 Authorize Upgrade of Moonbeam to RT2700
  • Your vote:

Aye

De facto Aye as regularly upgrading our chain is a requirement.
2 things I’m excited about RT2700: identity precompile (super interesting) & the enablement of the well-needed MBIP-5.

  • Referendum ID: 40
  • Proposal title: #40 Register Bifrost Inscription Token: BNCS
  • Your vote:

Aye

Aye for the same reason as proposal #38.
The difference here would be that BNCS is an inscription token not issued by the Bifrost team. I still like to support it as it can bring some volume to Moonbeam.
