ShapeShift

Summary

0xdef1cafe has resigned from his position as Engineering Workstream leader and per SCP-92 has appointed 0xean from the Fox Foundation as a temporary replacement until a full time replacement can be found. Per SCP-92, this also needs to be ratified by the community.

Abstract

Should this proposal pass, I will act as interim Engineering Workstream leader until a new workstream leader is voted in formally by governance or 3/31/2024 when the current budget expires

Motivation

To provide continuity in engineering leadership to the excellent contributors that comprise the workstream. Per SCP-92 each workstream is required to have a workstream leader.

Specification

The current engineering workstream budget expires at the end of March 2024. This proposal would verify 0xdef1cafe’s appointment of myself as interim workstream leader until governance elects a new full-time leader. While I am happy to fill this role for as long as the DAO needs me, it is much preferable to find another long-term candidate.

Benefits

1. The engineering workstream continues delivering on the roadmap outlined by product with limited disruption as 0xdef1cafe departs from his role
2. I will not be taking any salary from the DAO’s budget. I am already compensated for my role at the Fox Foundation and will be providing these services on behalf of the Foundation.
3. I have a good understanding of our tech stack, our team, and a good working relationship with all of the stakeholders.
4. The team and workstream leads have supported this transition so far.

Drawbacks

1. This is temporary and the team will eventually have to adapt to another new leader stepping in as soon as that person is voted in through governance.
