**Delegate address:** 8uzjpT3oVgpBDNrNnRyF9cDwnWGo8pBAqLZYwTd93pCd  
**Delegate profiles:** DAOplomats, @jengajojo_daoplomats @Eren_DAOplomats

### **Please answer the following questions in the body of your post:**

#### **Identity and background**

- **What is the delegate’s identity and background?**

DAOplomats is a crypto-native organization offering governance-as-a-service. We specialize in enhancing DAO efficiency through comprehensive treasury management, strategic grants programs, and impactful community-building efforts. We focus on enabling DAOs to reach their full potential by driving collaboration, fostering engagement, and maximizing outcomes for the entire ecosystem.

- **Has the delegate historically contributed to the Jito Network?**

We have not directly participated to date, we are eager to contribute more significantly in the upcoming days

- **Has the delegate historically been involved in protocol governance?**

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, Scroll, Moonwell, Rari, Compound, Velora** and **Lido DAO** , including Layer 2 ecosystems like **Arbitrium, Optimism** and **ZKsync**.

We aim to participate actively in the discussions and provide regular updates on how we have voted here on the Forum and [our Notion](https://www.notion.so/daoplomats/25e8bf8f0be841e8826ac43b97589a3b?v=370a33c6ca744eb1a70ac4adee8b4b03&pvs=4). We are among the few delegates in the EVM ecosystem who maintain a transparent voting history that the public can audit.

- **Is the delegate committed to helping the Jito Network and Solana succeed? Explain.**

We are wholly dedicated to the long-term success of both Jito and the broader Solana network. We believe serving as a Jito delegate is the most potent way to influence Solana’s evolution.

#### **Candidate views**

- How should JitoSOL validator delegation balance performance (yield) versus decentralization goals?

The optimal strategy is a hybrid, two-step approach that treats performance as a prerequisite and decentralization as the key differentiator.

1. **Establish a Performance Baseline:** First, a validator must meet strict, non-negotiable performance standards to qualify for Jito delegation. This includes high uptime , low commission, a history of zero slashing, and running the Jito-Solana client to maximize MEV rewards. This step protects the core yield for all JitoSOL stakers.

2. **Prioritize Based on Decentralization:** From the pool of qualified high-performers, the delegation algorithm should then actively prioritize validators that contribute most to the network’s decentralization. Stake should be preferentially allocated based on factors like **Stake Weight** , **Geographic & Data Center Diversity**

- **What should be the priorities for JTO liquidity mining and DAO token grants?**

The sole priority should be to **bootstrap deep, sustainable liquidity for core ecosystem pairs.** This is a tactical expense, not a long-term strategy. The focus should be on:

1. **Essential Pairs:** JitoSOL/SOL, JTO/SOL, and JTO/USDC. These are critical for user access, price stability, and the overall health of the protocol.

2. **Capital Efficiency:** Utilize concentrated liquidity pools on major DEXs to achieve the most liquidity for the lowest possible JTO emissions.

3. **Defined End-State:** Programs should be temporary, with clear goals to taper off rewards as organic, self-sustaining liquidity is established.

#### **Priorities for DAO Token Grants:**

Grants are strategic investments in Jito’s future. The priority should be to **maximize the utility and integration of JitoSOL across the Solana ecosystem.**

**1.Ecosystem Integrations:** Fund DeFi protocols (lending markets, perpetuals, yield aggregators) that natively integrate JitoSOL as a premier collateral or yield-bearing asset. The goal is to make JitoSOL as ubiquitous and useful as SOL itself.

**2. Public Goods & Infrastructure:** Fund research and development into MEV, network security, validator tooling, and governance improvements that strengthen the core Jito protocol and benefit the broader network.

**3. Community and Education:** Support initiatives that grow the user base through high-quality content, tutorials, and regional community-building efforts.

#### **What are your goals for the DAO as a delegate?**

1. **Advance Infrastructural Excellence:** We will champion proposals that enhance Jito’s core protocol, focusing on its role as a game-changer for Solana’s scalability, MEV-smoothing, and validator health.

2. **Create Ecosystem Synergy:** We will actively work to integrate Jito’s capabilities across the Solana ecosystem, fostering partnerships with other protocols (like LSTs and DEXs) to drive adoption, utility, and new treasury revenue streams.

3. **Drive Robust Governance Inclusion:** We will support transparent, effective, and inclusive governance mechanisms that empower all JTO holders, ensuring the DAO is a resilient and well-managed steward of the protocol’s future.
