What Can You Contribute to the Velora Growth Committee?
- Strategic Operations & Partnerships: Leveraging our active participation across leading DAOs, we bring deep insights into the governance and operational dynamics of each protocol; we can tap into our cross-DAO connections to forge collaborative partnerships, drive mutual benefit initiatives, and expand Velora’s ecosystem reach through targeted DeFi integrations and token-utilization strategies.
- Content Creation & Community Engagement: Develop and distribute compelling Velora-centric campaigns, facilitate community calls, and produce educational resources to attract and retain users.

Conflict of Interest Declaration:
We currently hold delegate roles in several DAOs, including 1inch and CoW, which may be considered direct competitors to Velora. We want to clarify that our involvement in these DAOs is strictly limited to governance participation in reviewing proposals, casting votes, and providing data analysis. We do not engage in any other activities beyond that. These roles are uncompensated for CoW, while we do receive compensation through their delegate program at 1inch.
Additionally, we operate with independent individuals assigned to each DAO we participate in. If selected for the Velora Growth Committee, a dedicated team member will focus exclusively on Velora to ensure clear alignment, priority, and confidentiality in both execution and communication. We remain fully committed to transparency and will promptly disclose any potential overlaps should they arise in the future.
