Introduction

Tané is formed with a group of crypto-native product builders, based in Tokyo, Dubai and New York. We are backed by SoftBank, and Japanese tech giants like DeNA, GREE, MIXI, and have great relationship with Japanese crypto communities.

Our investment arm has invested in and supported various innovating projects that contribute to the decentralized society enabled by the new blockchain technology. Our network operation entity started directly contributing to the ecosystem by being node operators for the core infrastructures and protocols that make Web3 move forward and contributors to the DAOs that manage them. We have been active as delegates in Arbitrum, Optimism, Lido and more.

Takeshi, Head of Network Operations, who worked for Twitter as a senior software engineer and for SmartNews, a Japanese unicorn startup that provides a news aggregation mobile app with 30M MAU as a product manager, is the main representative of the account.

Driver and Values

Motivation

We believe our qualities outlined below uniquely enable us to support ParaSwap’s evolution beyond aggregation, contributing to building a seamless, secure, and gas-efficient decentralized trading ecosystem driven by community governance.

Tech-savvy delegate
Our unique experience and expertise in the tech industries as product builders (entrepreneurs, software engineers, and product managers) should be able to contribute to critical feedback and comments on technical upgrades and issues to be discussed and implemented by collaborating with ParaSwap contributors and external parties.

Japan representative
There are many users and traders using crypto products in Japan, but there are no prominent delegates who actively participate in and contribute to DAO governance from Japan yet. We are aiming to be the one who represents the Japanese users and token holders by being active in the governance, leveraging the partnership with Japanese enterprises and making meaningful impacts on the protocols and the ecosystem.

DAO Governance Experience
We have actively contributed to major DAOs, including Optimism, Arbitrum and Morpho, leveraging our expertise in decentralized governance and funding allocation.
In Optimism, we served on the Grants Council during Season 6 and currently hold a position in the Milestones and Metrics Council for Season 7.
More than participating in the forum discussions, we bring deep expertise in funding mechanisms and ecosystem development, making us particularly well-equipped to contribute to ParaSwap DAO’s future grant strategies and governance evolution.

Values and Decision-Making Approach

We have established our Delegate Core Values as below and demonstrated our delegate activities and decision makings based on them.

Integrity
We value integrity a lot. We believe integrity is the most important virtue even in the industry that values trustless and permissionless. In fact, even though we should aim for governance minimization in the end, the protocols should still need governance and it requires capable and sincere participants. We should be the one of them.

Diversity
Diversity is one of the most important values to achieve decentralization. We are very unique in various perspectives including the geographical diversity (Japan and Asia). We also value diversities provided by other actors and are willing to appreciate them and collaborations with them.

Practicality
We believe in the progressive decentralization. While considering the decentralization is the ultimate goal for crypto/blockchain projects to achieve, we sometimes value practicality and approaches that get things done rather than getting stuck in pursuing the “decentralization” too much from the start.

Transparency
We believe transparency is the vital trait in the decentralized systems. We communicate our findings, feedback, opinions, disagreements and praises in a clear and constructive manner. We believe transparent communications should lead to better discussions and decisions to thrive.

COI Disclosure

Our investment arm, as a separate entity, has invested in a number of crypto startups but as of the time of writing this profile, we don’t believe there are clear COIs in terms of contributing to ParaSwap DAO. We are also active in the other DAOs, Arbitrum, Optimism (Season 7 Milestones and Metrics Council), Lido, Morpho and more in the future.

We will update our voting activities and the rationales behind them in this thread. Please reach out to us anytime when you have any opinions/comments/feedback.

Waiver of Liability

By delegating to Tané, you acknowledge and agree that Tané will participate on a best-efforts basis and will not be liable for any damages related to participation in ParaSwap or its DAO.

PIP-61: Increase Quorum Threshold (Snapshot)

Summary:

This proposal suggests increasing the ParaSwap governance quorum threshold from the current 2% (30M PSP) to 6% (90M PSP) of the circulating supply. This change aims to ensure decisions reflect broader community agreement and enhance DAO security.

Vote: For

Rationale:

Recent votes consistently show participation far exceeding the current quorum, often around 200M PSP, indicating the proposed threshold is readily achievable. Furthermore, raising the quorum enhances DAO security by making governance attacks more difficult and expensive, which is crucial for protecting the protocol.

PIP-62 - Velora Governance Task Force (Snapshot)

Summary:
This proposal outlines SEEDGov’s transition to a more comprehensive governance role within Velora DAO. This change addresses the observed need for dedicated, long-term guidance and incentive alignment within the revitalized DAO.

Vote: For

Rationale:

Given SEEDGov’s significant existing role within Velora governance, expanding their responsibilities represents a logical progression.
The demanding scope outlined in the proposal, covering vital governance functions and strategy, requires dedicated expertise and resources, which would require a decent amount of compensation.
Also, aligning incentives with the overall success of the protocol is crucial, particularly as the role’s scope includes activities focused on driving growth.
