AZOR
Self-nomination: AZOR in discord. Greenwich meridian.
I solemny swear my utter distrust in controlled and oversighted systems which serve the goal to silence the free will of mankind. I believe our work here serves the higher goal to provide one of the corner stones that will give back to humanity the responsability to handle their own life. I may not be your blockchain specialist from day one, I wish I was but my eyes didn’t open at that time. Nevertheless I’m working to provide the ultimate perfect secrecy proof that quantum communication gives and I aim to give my will and skills to diversify and further Phonon’s goals. Being part of the cybersec community I eventually got my hands into crypto, diving deeper I ended up knowing about Phonon and couldn’t believe how I didn’t think of this system myself.
Today I want to bring my stone to this building, which will be part of history. Together we’ll build a world for everyone to live in if they wish to. We will pave the way for the next generation to strive on. This is our chance, let’s take it together.

I have also drafted blog posts, the FAQ, the process to expand the multisig, etc. Finally, I am a mod in our discord, where I am an active, daily user.

- Reason for applying: I am an active contributor and governance participant in multiple DeFi projects. I have also been involved in the crypto space since 2015.

- Describe your involvement thus far in the Phonon DAO: Up to this point I may just be known as the person asking silly questions… But, I’m catching up quickly and actively learning as much as I can. I’d like to increase the quality and frequency of my contribution and engagement and bring a practical voice to the project.
- Qualifications - What will you bring to the multisig group? Active member, willing and available to communicate, and able to think independently for any signature request worth consideration. I may be a conspiracy theorist but I have no intention of conspiring myself. Central Standard Time.
