Candidate Profile

Security Council election candidate

Caleb Lau

Etherscan - Software Developer

Individual

Motivation

Arbitrum imho is an ecosystem which runs closest to the ideal L2 ecosystem there is: Forefronting experimentation (e.g. most recently, with Stylus, allowing WASM based languages to run on Arbitrum), community-involved decision making + participation while still maintaining pragmatism with urgent issues, and from personal interaction with the team, the Arbitrum team do genuinely care for those within the space, which I highly appreciate.

How could anyone not want to contribute to, and where needed, protecc this ecosystem? Also anything which affects Arbitrum affects me, as I maintain + build both Arbiscan and Nova explorers.

(and also, would REALLY like to be around if/when Arbitrum's fraud proof gets tested IRL on Ethereum mainnet :D am also looking forward to be able to run a challenger/prover :D)

Experience

Currently serving as a security council member until re-election, so am familiar with the processes + what is required of me. Builds and maintains both Arbiscan and Nova explorers for Etherscan. Also works on contract verification, EVM related matters, indexing, and answering users/devs questions and requests. Familiar with Tenderly, callTraces/debug calls, stateDiffs. Familiarity with the L2 ecosystem in general, also outside of Arbitrum. Familiarity with blockchain infrastructure.
