Proposal overview
This proposal is an extension of the DAO Partner Program proposal (submitted Oct. 1st 2021). We propose to add the below partners to batch #1 of the program.
Motivation
The success of the SSV.Network depends on its community, currently composed of highly technical and experienced individuals from the ethereum community.
The motivation behind this proposal is to enlarge the community by engaging, via SSV token ownership, with strategic companies (partners) from the ethereum staking industry.
We believe that together we can bootstrap SSV.Network with experienced operators, their communities and eventually mainnet ETH.
Mechanics
The DAO Partner Program was designed to accommodate continuous introduction of new DAO Partners over the course of 6 months. The partners will be subjected to the terms specified in the Genesis Proposal.
Gate Ventures is proposing to purchase 24,233 SSV tokens (for ETH or USDC) at the ‘batch 1’ reference price of 6.19 USD per 1 SSV (calculation table)
Motivation
With the launch of the beacon chain, Ethereum has started its transition from PoW to PoS. Although there are already ETH staking services provided by centralized entities, decentralized staking service shall stand for a significant share. SSV.Network enables a secure and trustless way to stake ETH and reduce risks and failures. By participating SSV.Network’s DAO Partner Program, we are committed to build with SSV and other partners together in the staking infrastructure.
Gate has been very active in supporting the crypto community in many ways. With the launch of the new VC arm - Gate Ventures, Gate is ready to offer supports in technical development, operation scaling, and global growth for SSV.Network.
