I intend to be a Moonwell delegate specializing in Third-Party Opportunities & Research.
Background:
Gm! I am Chidi, a finance professional bridging traditional capital markets with frontier blockchain technologies. My career has been defined by creating value at the intersection of law, finance, governance, and emerging technologies.
Currently, I am part of the legal team at United Capital Plc, Sub-Saharan Africa’s leading investment banking firm, where I provide strategic guidance across Investment Banking, Asset Management, and Securities Services. I work on multi-million-dollar capital markets deals and cross-border transactions, giving me deep insight into institutional finance mechanisms that could benefit DeFi protocols.
On the Web3 side, I have held leadership and advisory roles at PeopleDAO and Wildfire DAO, where I designed governance systems, conducted compliance-driven research in decentralized dispute resolution, and assessed complex DeFi proposals. I have organized community workshops, forged strategic partnerships, and helped position DAOs to meet both innovation goals and regulatory requirements.
As a cross-chain lending protocol Moonwell is perfectly positioned to benefit from cross-ecosystem opportunities. My dual expertise in institutional finance and decentralized governance makes me uniquely qualified to identify and pursue these opportunities.
Statement of Intent:
As a delegate focused on Third-Party Opportunities & Research, I will:
Scout Strategic Opportunities: Actively monitor governance forums across DeFi ecosystems for grant opportunities and partnerships aligned with Moonwell’s expansion across the Superchain. My experience with cross-border transactions will help identify high-value collaborations.
Bridge TradFi Innovation to DeFi: Leverage my investment banking background to research and adapt institutional finance mechanisms for Moonwell’s benefit - similar to how Paradigm’s onchain auction models could enhance excess reserve management.
Produce Actionable Research: Deliver regular forum posts analyzing governance innovations from other DAOs, complete with implementation roadmaps for Moonwell. My focus will be on practical, data-driven proposals that enhance protocol efficiency and user value.
Drive Partnership Development: Use my partnership-building experience from both United Capital and DAOs to establish relationships that could benefit Moonwell through integrations, co-marketing, or shared liquidity initiatives.
I commit to maintaining active participation, providing vote rationales, and meeting all monthly requirements. My goal is to support in positioning Moonwell at the forefront of DeFi innovation by continuously identifying external opportunities that drive protocol growth and community value.
