Zach (DJ)
DAO Delegate
Motivation
I have been following Arbitrum's development since its inception, before the network's launch. Now, Arbitrum is the best layer 2 network by value, usage, and features. I am glad that Arbitrum continues to be the best layer 2 network for decentralization and security.
As a DAO delegate, I usually suggest Arbitrum as the right network that developers should launch on when they think about layer 2s. Now that Arbitrum Stylus is here, there's even more opportunity on Arbitrum network. Rust developers and others can write in different programming languages beyond Solidity.
Along with that new feature of Arbitrum Stylus, the need increases for good security council members to watch over the network as Arbitrum progresses in decentralization while the network adds new features. Eager to contribute, I am registering candidacy for my role on Arbitrum security council.
