Candidate Name / Handle:
cptgrumpus
Self-Nomination or Nominated By:
Nominated by Gertrud / PlutusDAO
Relevant Background (max ~100 words):
Been in crypto markets for ~9 years. Engineering background; I focus on evidence, clear tradeoffs, and getting ideas into production. I run node / infra for financial apps, and have experience developing trading / market making systems. Am used to designing for safety, reliability, monitoring, and general resiliency. Over the years I’ve followed (and participated in) DeFi governance enough to have practical views on risk, incentives, and what moves a protocol forward.
Why I Want to Serve on the Community Council (max ~100 words):
Radiant Capital is executing a real recovery plan, and I want to help convert that into sustained growth and stronger governance. I’ll represent PlutusDAO as a committed partner and focus on practical synergies that benefit both ecosystems.
How I Will Contribute During Radiant’s Recovery & Growth Phase (max ~100 words):
I’ll stay active in governance and push evidence-based decisions with clear rationale, measurable outcomes, and sensible risk/incentive design. I’ll also act as a direct point of contact for PlutusDAO by coordinating comms, surfacing opportunities, and help drive conversations with other allocators/teams.
Time Commitment Acknowledged (Yes / No):
Yes
Conflicts of Interest (Required Disclosure):
Affiliated with PlutusDAO (will represent their perspective transparently).
