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.
#30 Polkadex Proposal Open/Accept HRMP channel and Register Asset xcPDEX
#31 Accept/Open an HRMP channel with Composable Polkadot and register xcIBCMOVR, xcPICA, xcTIA, xcIST, xcBLD and xcATOM
#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
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!
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.
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.
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.
I voted Aye for this proposal as it will allow the deployment of their core mechanism: burn 2 xcPINK to receive 1 xcSTINK.
Looking forward to that smart-contract deployed!
Yes!! Probably the most exciting vote of this recap. I’m super happy about opening the way for native ETH assets. Interesting also to welcome Lido’s native ETH derivative (wstETH) asset here.
Very sorry for this way overdue recap!
I’ll try to do my recap faster regarding next votes.
Cool news: I’m currently the biggest delegate on Moonbeam DAO thanks to your trust. I really do love shaping this decentralized governance with you all.
Proposal title:#67PLEASE VOTE NAY SORA Networks Proposal to Open/Accept HRMP channel and Register Assets
Your votes:
Nay
Reason:
I’m in favor of opening HRMP with SORA but it seems there was an error in this proposal regarding XCM fees. As the title says, please vote NAY.
I’ll vote AYE on the next one.
Proposal title:#70 SORA Networks Proposal to Open/Accept HRMP channel and Register Assets
Your votes:
Abstain
Reason:
Even if I favor opening a new HRMP with every chain, I received several community members’ messages about this particular project. Various people expressed their doubts regarding the legitimacy and goodwill of this team.
I don’t want to NAY them but after objectively evaluating SORA metrics, I can’t AYE this.

Proposal title:#71 Authorize Upgrade of Moonbeam to RT3200
Your votes:
Aye
Reason:
I am always aying runtime upgrades!
The most interesting feature I found in 3200 release is: "Allow to use EVM foreign assets to pay XCM fees ". My friends, this feature is great news
Aye! Moonbeam should be a hub for all Polkadot tokens that have some proper organic activities… Mythos, EnergyWebX, Kilt, Polimec and Robonomics definitely enter in that category. Looking forward to the integration of these chains here (especially on DEXs). Thanks @spazcoin for this nice initiative
