Candidate Profile

I've had a long-standing interest in the Arbitrum ecosystem, being a very early contributor to the Arbitrum Governance Forum and a contributor to strengthening the Arbitrum Constitution: https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/proposal-aip-1-2-foundation-and-dao-governance/13362/26?u=pablo

As part of this, I provided a detailed analysis of the Arbitrum Constitution provided via my Github Page: https://github.com/Daimon-Law/Arbitrum-Foundation-Docs

This work gives me unique insight into to the operational governance for Arbitrum and the role played by the Security Council.

I have been a passionate advocate and supporter of DeFi, crypto and Web3 initiatives since 2016 and have put this into practice, hosting grass-root community events and education sessions.

I have also supported countless DeFi and Web3 projects on a pro-bono and reduced fee basis since establishing my law firm and invite you to review some of the work I've done on my Github page: https://github.com/Daimon-Law.

If you want to reach out, feel free to message me on the Arbitrum Governance Forum on you can often find me in the Lex DAO Discord channel.

I am the Founder and Principal of Daimon Legal, a law firm supporting Web3, crypto and DeFi projects. The firm was founded in Geneva, Switzerland and is currently operating in Melbourne, Australia. I have been a technology and intellectual property lawyer for over 25 years, supporting projects and start-ups since 2017.

I am also a Board Member and Director of the Dai Foundation and have played a pivotal role in providing analysis and support for the Dai Foundation and MakerDAO, particularly as they relate to litigation, intellectual property and regulatory issues. This appointment came after due diligence conducted by the DAI Foundation Board and a subsequent public Governance vote with widespread support for my candidacy. I have significant IT security response experience gained in Tier 1 technology organisations including EDS, Telstra and NTT and have provided legal support and advisory services during security incidents. This includes establishing and reviewing incident management plans and policies suitable for enterprise level incidents as well as representing Group Legal when security/data incidents arise.

I believe this enterprise-level experience will be of significant value if appointed to the Security Council as there are important legal and public relations issues that need to be considered when an incident arises.

DAI Foundation, MakerDAO, LexDAO, Lex Punks and AVentures DAO. I am not aware of any actual or perceived conflicts of interest.
