Decentralized Voices Program Cohort 3 RogerLe

Hello Polkadot Community,

This is RogerLe, and I am excited to submit my application to serve as a DV delegate for the upcoming four-month period. After participating in the second round of Kusama DV, I am eager to contribute to our community in this role.

Please find my application details below:

Address I have participated in OpenGov

Polkadot: 15KRWqYbvaYxdKULorQzD6861VaQVh54UDvLYGCYwfBzhsAX

Kusama: H1qzURXmYGLfwMsviLpMeN8S9zjAPmc1LBCSeQkCAieKUFs

Is there any other information you would like to share on why you should be delegated to by W3F?

  1. Recently, through various channels, I have learned that some projects apply only for money without delivering the promised value. This is harmful to the development of the Polkadot ecosystem. This prompts me to uphold fairness and justice in Polkadot governance and to vote for high-quality projects to enhance the value of the Polkadot ecosystem.
  2. I am a value investor and a long-term thinker who applies first principles thinking. I have been participating in Polkadot’s Dutch auction since 2017 and have held onto my investments until now, with additional increases in my Polkadot investment holdings.
  3. I am also a freelancer with a significant amount of time dedicated to researching Polkadot and Kusama projects and voting.
  4. I hold a degree in Computer Science and a Master’s in Economic Philosophy. I have four years of development experience and have worked as a product manager at Huawei. In 2020, I participated in the second phase of the Substrate course and successfully completed it. I continue to engage in blockchain project research and investments, forming my own insights. My Twitter: x.com
  5. Having had the privilege of participating in the second phase of Kusama DV, I engage in discussions every Tuesday at 10 AM with Dr. Cao, Xupan, Giki from AIweb3, and other project members about Kusama proposals. We not only gain a deep understanding of the projects but also actively discuss them from different perspectives. After the discussions, we evaluate and vote based on six investment principles. This process has been very rewarding for me.
  6. As my understanding deepens, I have not only interacted with projects within the Polkadot ecosystem but also gained a better understanding of the different mechanisms of Treasury funding and the workings of referenda. In summary, I hope to support and firmly commit to the governance principles and mechanisms of Polkadot, contributing my modest efforts directly.

My political philosophy for OpenGov

  1. Eliminate applicant projects with poor professional ethics, leaving those with good professional ethics.
  2. The applied project has a competitive advantage in the Polkadot ecosystem and can solve certain pain points.
  3. Investigate the feasibility of the project team in terms of technical development capabilities and community operation capabilities.
  4. The token model and incentive mechanism of the project are good.
  5. The amount of the applied project roughly matches the cost of project development and operation.
  6. The applied project is conducive to the long-term development of the Polkadot ecosystem and has long-term sustainability.
