Dennison Bertram

Head of Strategy @RARI FND

Individual

Motivation

As the Head of Strategy at the RARI Foundation, my commitment to the security and success of the Arbitrum ecosystem is both personal and professional. The RARI DAO's migration to Arbitrum places a premium on securing our assets and ensuring seamless operations for our community. Given the mission-critical nature of this migration, maintaining the integrity and security of both the RARI Chain, our Arbitrum Orbit Layer 3 solution, and the broader Arbitrum ecosystem is a top priority. We’ve also integrated the Rarible Protocol with Arbitrum, signaling our long-term alignment with the ecosystem. As such, my motivation extends beyond safeguarding RARI's interests—it's about contributing to a secure and scalable Arbitrum infrastructure for all stakeholders. My aim is to bring both agility and responsibility to the Security Council, facilitating swift, thoughtful responses to both emergency and non-emergency scenarios.

Experience

  • Established the RARI DAO Security Council: I led the creation of the RARI DAO Security Council, which operates similarly to Arbitrum’s structure. This involved defining roles, establishing emergency protocols, and creating transparent reporting mechanisms, all while ensuring quick response capabilities in moments of vulnerability.
  • Launched RARI Chain (Arbitrum Orbit L3): I led the launch of the RARI Chain as part of Arbitrum's Orbit Layer 3 solution, gaining hands-on experience with the technical and governance structures within Arbitrum’s framework.
  • Multisig Experience: I’m a signor on multiple multisigs, confident in executing actions directly via Etherscan contracts when the user interface is inaccessible, ensuring operational continuity during emergencies.
  • Transparent Reporting to DAO Communities: I’ve consistently reported security measures, upgrades, and governance decisions to DAO communities, prioritizing transparency and clarity. My communication strategy focuses on maintaining trust, particularly when handling sensitive security incidents.
  • Crisis Management: I have managed crisis situations and led war rooms, ensuring swift resolution of security issues while balancing transparency and stakeholder trust.
