27. Proposal: CeLatam Venture Studio (Onchain)

• Date Voted: May 21, 2025

• Vote: Abstain

• Rationale: While I recognize CeLatam’s contributions and the potential of the proposed Venture Studio, I’m choosing to abstain from this vote due to:

  The token swap mechanism (CELO for cUSD) is reasonable, but I’d like to better understand how this aligns with the DAO’s long term treasury strategy.

  Trust the decision of other delegates!

28. Proposal: Mento Oracles Migration pt. 1 (Onchain)

• Vote: Yes
• Rationale: Voting yes. Migrating Mento’s oracles to trusted external providers like Chainlink and Redstone improves decentralization and reduces operational risks.

29. Proposal: Mento Oracles Migration pt. 2 (Onchain)

• Vote: Yes
• Rationale: I support this proposal. It completes the important migration to Chainlink oracles, improving data quality and system reliability.

30. Proposal: Budget Request: Celo Kreiva DAO Grant: Season 0-1 2025 (Onchain)

• Date Voted: May 30, 2025
• Vote: Against
• Rationale: I’m voting Against due to the following concerns:

  • High operating costs: 20% for moderation and 3% for advisory seems excessive, especially at this early stage with limited proof of impact.

  • Unclear community impact: Most experiments are still on testnet, and governance via NFTs hasn’t been validated on mainnet.

  • Large grant budget, limited traction: Nearly 70% of funds go to grants, but many projects are new and haven’t shown results yet.

31. Proposal: Streamlining Mento Reserve Pairs (Onchain)

• Vote: Yes

• Rationale: Consolidating liquidity through cUSD is the right approach, as cUSD is the primary stable asset on Celo.

  Also, removing low-liquidity trading pairs makes the protocol easier to maintain, more scalable, and reduces operational costs.

  Voted yes!

32. Proposal: Enabling MENTO Governance (Onchain)

• Vote: Yes
