UPDATE: Tasks Submitted by Candidates - Treasury League’s Feedback
As said above in the previous messages, 4 candidates sent us their submissions of the task published last week. Leagues will proceed to add them as official candidates into the elections polls, since they showed interest by submitting the tasks and gave us the opportunity to evaluate their profiles better.
Here’s the feedback from the Treasury League for the following submissions:
-
@raghav1997: The essay is aligned with the proposed seniority [Junior].
Notes for the task
The second task (Hummingbot) is a potential initiative that can be evaluated by the tokenomics team in the next future. The example showcased an adequate understanding of tasks planned on the tokenomics side. The Collateral & DCA proposal requires more in-depth analysis, as assumptions and testing environments are not clear.Overall feedback
Raghav attended Idle DAO office hours, showing interest in Idle. The full-time commitment is a plus. The experience is aligned with a Junior position, and the sprint phase would help idle Leagues better understand what could be his role inside the team. According to the essay, in the future, he might cover a “strategist” role focused on new product design. Although that role is not needed at the present time, Idle DAO could benefit from his profile. -
@mrpink: The essay is aligned with the proposed seniority [Junior].
Notes for the task
The proposal of the candidate is challenging. Neo-banks have long onboarding procedures, and due diligence requires a significant level of effort from the Idle DAO side (unless they now support incorporated DAOs). The essay correctly points out Revolut’s plan in the crypto space, with punctual references. The direct connection with an employee is a correct way to get genuine feedback and adjust the communication according to the partner’s needs.Overall feedback
MrPink attended Idle DAO office hours, showing interest in Idle. His experience is aligned with a Junior position. Although a full-time commitment would have been preferred, his profile and essay are aligned with a Business Development role. -
@kathleen: Kathleen’s profile appears to be the most senior candidate that applied for a role, but Leagues consider mid-level seniority as more suitable to her profile.
Notes for the task
Good use of terms and the choice of the potential partner is aligned with the business task.It’s not fully clear the exact integration dynamic that Kathleen proposes (Idle would deploy Best-Yield funds in Centrifuge or vice versa, or if Idle develops tranches based on Centrifuge tranches). Centrifuge would be a good fit as a partner, but its design (pools with fixed cap) can limit the market potential and scalability of that integration. The team is also working on Polkadot/Kusama parachain deployment, thus it’s not clear if Ethereum strategies will represent their main product in the next future. The direct connection with an employee is a correct way to speed up the finalization of the proposal.
Overall feedback
Kathleen’s profile shows a vast background in TradFi management roles and blockchain-related projects. She didn’t attend Idle DAO office hours.As the most experienced candidate, she can help the Business Development team to expand the audience and onboard new partners.
It is the opinion of the Leagues that, given her profile and essay, she can join as a mid-level member.

Notes for the task
The assignment shows a basic understanding of Dune functionalities, and the queries were mostly based on our dashboard snippets. It’s difficult to assess the actual data science and coding expertise based on this homework.For the time being, the level of expertise shown by the candidate would require a longer onboarding with respect to our current expectations for this role.
Overall feedback
The profile is aligned with the proposed seniority level but lacks some data science background experience as suggested. The candidate did not participate in the Leagues’ Office Hours, contributing to the decision to not endorse this application. Anyway, we would be happy to see BushiTong participating in Dune classes, and taking part in the analytics grants that will be released by Leagues.
All the submissions of the candidates are available publicly here.
Advisors
Application from @Salome
We believe the feedback for Salomé is implied: she has been actively working for the DAO since her candidacy for the Pilot League, Idle’s first subDAO.
Her continued commitment and desire to help grow the protocol leaves no doubt about the positive feedback for her candidacy as an Advisor.
