## Introduction

DAOplomats, a seasoned Web3-native organisation, has been specialising in professional DAO governance and coordination through industry-leading research and tooling since 2022. We suggest and build efficient governance structures, act as professional delegates, and spearhead community-building initiatives.

As a trusted partner, we have been working with [1inch](https://gov.1inch.io/discussion/9308-daoplomats-vision-and-action-plan-for-1inch-dao), [Gitcoin](https://gov.gitcoin.co/t/empowering-gitcoins-governance-gitcoin-x-daoplomats/18615), [Everclear](https://snapshot.org/#/dao.connext.eth/proposal/0x79cabf8e3c949f41659c880489709e7c076a1d1760c065e7043cc3ef16ef08d2), and [BanklessDAO](https://forum.bankless.community/t/v2-establish-and-fund-a-governance-department/5178) on governance, tokenomics, grants, and community building. We are also professional delegates of DeFi platforms like Uniswap, Aave and Lido DAO, including Layer 2 ecosystems like Arbitrium, Optimism and ZKsync.

## Political Philosophy

DAOplomats operates based on values and principles that reflect how we vote and collaborate with the broader community.

**Accelerating Human Coordination**

We value open and public collaboration between all stakeholders, ensuring everyone’s voice is heard and considered.

**Support the Public Good**

We prioritise initiatives that deliver positive social, environmental, and economic outcomes and contribute to society’s greater good.

**Facilitating Applications of Distributed Technology**

We help organisations implement decentralised technologies to enhance transparency, efficiency, and equity.

## Voting Objectives

1. **Seamless Governance**

Our approach to governance, which we call 'Seamless Governance ', focuses on creating smooth, uninterrupted workflows that facilitate effective management and oversight. We achieve this by leveraging our expertise, industry-leading research, and tooling to ensure that all governance processes are efficient and transparent.

1. **Empowering Core Teams/Empowering Strategic Vision**

Under the ‘Empowering Core Teams/Empowering Strategic Vision’ objective, we actively aid in the strategic development of protocols by providing expert guidance and collaborative support to core teams. Through our facilitation of key initiatives, we ensure that their vision is refined and executed in alignment with community goals, ultimately enhancing the overall effectiveness of the project.

1. **Positive Sum Collaboration**

We harness game theory to guide our collaboration with other delegates. We focus on initiatives that yield positive-sum results, ensuring that all parties benefit from our cooperative efforts.

## Communication with Community

We participate in active discussions of Opergov Proposals and provide regular updates on how we vote.

## DAO Vision & Goals for Polkadot DAO.

The Polkadot is undergoing implementation of its computation-centric vision and shared interoperability roadmap. DAOplomats aim to support the DAO in the following manner.

1. **Adoption of the tech**

DAOplomats aims to leverage its social capital and governance reach to help Polkadot collaborate with the broader Web3 ecosystem by enabling cross-chain interoperability.

1. **Adoption PolkaVM**

DAOplomats will focus on onboarding industry leaders from the EVM ecosystem to the newly launched PolkaVM, setting the stage for the new users to test and use the chains.

1. **Protocol Integrity**

Integrity is at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to upholding the integrity of the Polkadot Layer Zero network through transparent and accountable governance processes. We aim to simplify Opengov’s governance overhead and help the community improve and iterate.
