Introduction and Experience
karpatkey is a DeFi-native organisation specialising in professional DAO finance through industry-leading research and tooling since 2020. We’ve been working with GnosisDAO, Balancer, ENS, CoW Protocol, and Lido on financial planning, operations, and strategy, diversifying their treasuries into sustainable portfolios of DeFi investments designed to support DAOs in executing their missions.
Our involvement in governance is driven by a commitment to decentralization, financial sustainability, and active engagement. We believe in fostering resilient ecosystems by ensuring responsible treasury management, encouraging broad participation, and supporting proposals that strengthen the protocol’s security and utility.
Why karpatkey
Obol’s mission to enhance Ethereum’s decentralization through Distributed Validator Technology aligns with our broader vision of supporting infrastructure that improves network resiliency and security. In governance, we prioritize proposals that reinforce decentralization, strengthen Obol’s validator ecosystem, and introduce mechanisms that support sustainable growth. Our decision-making is research-driven, with a focus on balancing long-term protocol health and financial sustainability.
We believe that transparent and well-structured governance processes are key to ensuring broad participation. As a delegate, we are committed to evaluating each proposal carefully, engaging with the community, and publicly sharing our voting rationale. Governance should be open and accessible, and we encourage active participation from all stakeholders.
Voting Power and Governance Participation
karpatkey currently holds approximately 286,680 OBOL in delegated voting power. As a top delegate, we remain highly engaged in the governance process, monitoring proposals closely, participating in discussions, and ensuring that our votes align with the long-term interests of the protocol. We have voted on all major proposals to date and will continue to maintain a high level of participation.
Delegate Communication Intent
This thread serves as a space to provide regular updates on our governance activity. We will share our voting rationale for each decision to ensure transparency and help the community understand the reasoning behind our positions. Governance is an evolving process, and we welcome feedback and discussion on the issues that shape Obol’s future.
Disclosure
karpatkey actively participates in the governance of multiple protocols, including Aave, Uniswap, Safe, and Arbitrum. We also manage treasuries or serve on treasury committees for projects like Balancer, GnosisDAO, and ENS. Our treasury holds a diverse portfolio of crypto assets. While we approach each governance process independently, we will disclose any potential conflicts of interest that may arise in relation to our votes.
