ABOUT
I am Chidi, a finance and legal professional with experience across institutional capital markets and decentralised finance.
I currently serve on the legal team at United Capital Plc, Sub-Saharan Africa’s leading investment banking firm, where I advise across Investment Banking, Asset Management, and Securities Services.
My approach to governance is grounded in research, consistency, and a genuine commitment to the protocol’s long-term interests. I believe strong governance outcomes come from delegates who are deeply informed, consistently present, and committed to the full scope of participation: reading every proposal, attending every call, and posting rationales that explain the reasoning behind each vote.
EXPERIENCE
I hold an active delegate seat at Moonwell, where I specialise in Third-Party Opportunities and Research, with a focus on identifying cross-ecosystem partnerships, delivering governance research, and maintaining transparent vote participation.
Prior to Moonwell, I held leadership and advisory roles at PeopleDAO and Wildfire DAO, where I designed governance frameworks, conducted compliance-focused research in decentralised dispute resolution, and evaluated complex DeFi proposals.
On the traditional finance side, I work on multi-million dollar capital markets transactions and cross-border deals at United Capital Plc, giving me direct exposure to the institutional finance mechanics increasingly relevant to onchain infrastructure.
VALUES AND CONDUCT
A. VALUES
-
Integrity: I vote in the best interests of the protocol and its users. Conflicts of interest are disclosed proactively, before voting, not after.
-
Research: My positions are grounded in data, protocol analysis, and cross-ecosystem benchmarking. I do not vote on proposals I have not read.
-
Engagement: Governance is not just voting. Forum participation, governance calls, working group contributions, and rationale posting are core responsibilities, not optional additions.
B. DELEGATE CONDUCT
-
Use values to guide every vote and forum interaction.
-
Maintain impartiality and disclose conflicts before voting.
-
Ground all positions in research and prior expertise.
-
Post rationales within one week of every vote.
-
Engage actively in governance calls and working groups.
WHY 1INCH?
1inch is critical DeFi infrastructure, routing billions in volume and expanding cross-chain through Fusion+. The governance decisions made here directly shape how that infrastructure evolves, who it serves, and how sustainable it becomes over time.
I chose 1inch because it operates at the layer where institutional finance and decentralised finance most directly intersect: best execution, liquidity sourcing, and cross-chain capital movement. These are areas I work in professionally. I am here to bring that perspective to bear in a way that is useful to the DAO and its community.
DISCLOSURE
I currently hold a delegate seat at Moonwell. I will disclose any additional affiliations or potential conflicts of interest in my vote rationale posts. Where a conflict exists, I will recuse or flag it explicitly before voting.
WAIVER OF LIABILITY
By delegating to this address, you acknowledge and agree that I participate on a best-efforts basis and will not be liable for any form of damages related to my participation in 1inch governance.
