Introduction
TUM Blockchain Club is a student-run organization at the Technical University of Munich founded back in 2022. Our focus is on education, support, and networking to advance the Web3 ecosystem in Munich, Germany, and beyond by providing accessible education and collaborative knowledge exchange. We aim to simplify Web3 understanding, leveraging our position within Germany’s largest tech-focused student community.
The Clubs recent major achievements include:
- TUM Blockchain Conference: The biggest student-run blockchain conference hosted in Munich, Germany. More details on TUM Blockchain Conference.
- BlockSprint initiative: We offer students the opportunity to work on real-world web3 projects that are proposed by our partner companies.
- Credited Cryptography Lecture at TUM: We are collaborating with a chair at the Technical University of Munich to create a lecture on zero-knowledge proofs, multi-party computation, and fully holomorphic encryption, the first of its kind in Germany.

Governance Philosophy
Our DAO delegation process is managed by the IT department and its specialized subdepartment, composed of experienced web3 developers and active DAO participants. With firsthand experience in voting and delegation across platforms like Arbitrum, Optimism, and Uniswap, they work closely with other departments to ensure well-informed and transparent decision-making.
Our delegation approach is built on three core principles: Active participation in governance, Research-driven decision-making supported by experts, and Trust, upheld through transparency and ethical conduct. We remain impartial, rely on data and expertise, follow established internal policies, and engage in team consultations to maintain high-quality outcomes.
As a blockchain-agnostic, non-profit student organization, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and knowledgeable web3 community. Our focus is on education, neutrality, and responsible governance, ensuring that all contributions to the DAO align with these values.
Governance Voting Methodology
The governance department holds weekly in-person meetings to discuss updates. Each proposal is assigned a lead, who guides the discussion. Throughout the week, members share their opinions on proposals and governance changes via our internal channels. Once a decision is reached, along with its justification, it is posted in the core members’ Discord channel for further discussion and potential objections. After achieving internal consensus, we proceed to vote on proposals and aim to clearly explain our positioning on the forum.
Conflicts of Interest
As a non-profit student organization, we prioritize transparency and integrity, focusing on blockchain technology rather than specific companies. Since we are legally unable to generate profits, our decision-making remains unbiased and free from financial conflicts.
If a conflict of interest arises, we will disclose it, assess its impact, and take appropriate action, such as recusal from discussions or votes. Detailed records will be maintained to ensure accountability. Our commitment to transparency ensures that all decisions serve the best interests of the community.
Waiver of Liability
By delegating to TUM Blockchain Club, you acknowledge that we are not liable for any potential losses or adverse outcomes resulting from our involvement in the governance process.
Looking Forward
Thanks for reading! Have a great day and greetings from Munich 
Cheers!
