Introduction - About WakeUp Labs

WakeUp Labs is a software development studio dedicated to advancing decentralized technology and scaling Ethereum. Since our inception in 2022, we have specialized in delivering advanced development services to EVM-compatible chains, DAOs, and businesses venturing into the blockchain space.

Our Journey and Achievements

Since 2022, WakeUp Labs has been actively contributing to the ecosystem through workshops for developers, both online and in person, attending international conferences, and lending technical expertise to various projects.

In 2024 alone, we supported +20 clients, with notable projects including:

  • Arbitrum. We enhanced the Arbitrum ecosystem with an interface enabling users to submit transactions directly to Layer 1 (L1) in case its sequencer misbehaves.
  • Optimism. We’re working on multiple missions that help grow its ecosystem.
  • Mokens League. We developed custom NFTs smart contracts and an ERC-20 token smart contract for their casual soccer game on the blockchain.
  • Win Investments. Through Web2 and Web3 back-end design and implementation, we’re helping them democratize soccer.

Our Team

WakeUp Labs has three founders: Milton Berman (CEO), Maximiliano del Hoyo (CBDO), and Gonzalo Silman (COO). Milton is an expert in decentralized identity and blockchain product management, having previously served as CTO of a mobile gaming company and as a Product Owner in IOVLabs. Maximiliano brings a strong background in software and finance, with experience at Microsoft and IOVLabs. Gonzalo, an economist and former professor, excels at bridging user needs with technical solutions and is deeply passionate about governance.

In addition, our engineering team consists of 12 highly qualified professionals, all graduates with over five years of experience. They specialize in delivering complex projects, including those involving Solidity. We are also supported by a dedicated communications and design team.

Looking Forward

WakeUp Labs is committed to driving innovation and creating meaningful impact across the blockchain ecosystem.

Being actively involved in ParaSwap’s governance gives us the opportunity to share our insights and support a project we believe has incredible potential.

COI Disclosure:

WakeUp Labs is a broad organization with high participation in some of the most prominent governances in the ecosystem such as Optimism, and Arbitrum. As mentioned above we come to ParaSwap Governance to bring value, in case there is any conflict of interest, we will communicate it to the community members.

Proposal: PIP-58 - ParaSwap Delegate Incentives Program - Cycle 1

Vote: For

Rationale: We are voting in favor of this proposal as it presents a strategic opportunity to draw attention to the ParaSwap ecosystem at a time when increased visibility is particularly valuable. Additionally, it reinforces a commitment to governance by encouraging active participation within the DAO.

While we have yet to determine whether incentivizing delegates is the best long-term approach, this experiment is worth pursuing. The proposal fosters engagement within the DAO and can be discontinued at any time if it proves ineffective. This flexibility allows the community to evaluate its impact without being locked into a permanent commitment.

Proposal: PIP-59: Proposal for Returning 40.203 wETH to Bybit (After 10% Bounty Deduction)

Vote: For

WakeUp Labs is voting in favor of PIP-59, the proposal to return 40.203 wETH to Bybit, after careful consideration of the discussions in the ParaSwap DAO forum and our engagement in the matter.

Although in our role we will always advocate for ‘Code is Law’ and prioritize and defend decentralization, as well as the developers who made it possible after much discussion, we believe that in this particular case, the benefits of returning the funds far outweigh those of not doing so. Given that this situation has unintentionally led to the DAO holding proceeds tied to a widely reported exploit—and considering the ethical and reputational implications—we propose returning the wETH held by the DAO to support asset recovery efforts and reinforce the community’s commitment to responsible governance.

On one hand, ParaSwap was not responsible for the hack, and returning the funds could set a precedent for future similar cases, potentially harming the autonomy that defines DeFi. However, returning the funds would demonstrate the DAO’s goodwill, making this action something positive for the community and for Paraswap, not affecting the DAO’s treasury, and potentially removing legal liabilities for the affected party.

We believe that prioritizing a strategic, high-level decision will strengthen goodwill and credibility, ultimately benefiting the protocol, the DAO, and its stakeholders in the long run. The potential long-term gains far outweigh its immediate impact. That said, this is the direction we’re backing.

Proposal: PIP-60 - Expansion of Project Miro token and staking system to Base

Vote: For

Rationale:
Having already contributed to the automation of ParaSwap’s reward distribution, we’re familiar with the operational complexity behind these systems—and we clearly see the benefits of streamlining them as proposed.
Expanding to Base is a strategic move: it taps into one of the fastest-growing L2 ecosystems, enhances alignment with the Superchain vision, and provides an ideal environment for testing intent-based flows.

Proposal: PIP-61 - Increase Quorum Threshold

Vote: For

Rationale:
At WakeUp Labs, we support increasing the quorum threshold to 6% as a meaningful and balanced step forward. Since recent governance activity has consistently reached this threshold, raising it to 6% should not create any issues. A higher threshold might ensure that proposals have broader support and reduce the risk of governance capture by a small minority.

Proposal: PIP-62 - Velora Governance Task Force

Vote: For

Rationale:
We vote in favor. We believe this is a timely and necessary step. The proposed structure reflects a mature and thoughtful approach to governance, and formalizing this role will strengthen coordination, streamline processes, and support the DAO’s evolution during a pivotal phase. We look forward to seeing the impact of this role and the long-term value it brings to the community and the protocol.
