Why do you want to serve as an Expert Evaluator for the Localism Fund?

My work sits at the intersection of decentralized science (DeSci), commons-based peer coordination, and public good. Previously an Admin at PeopleDAO and now leading DeSci Nigeria (the region’s first decentralized research infrastructure), my journey has shown me firsthand the power and challenges of building resilient community-driven systems. I’m keen on building bridges between global Web3 tools and locally grounded initiatives.

Experiences, Highlights & Evidence:

At PeopleDAO, I played a key role in the “We’re Gonna Buy The Constitution (WAGBTC)” project (https://x.com/WAGBTC). The second attempt of a DAO trying to acquire one of the last remaining physical copies of the U.S. Constitution at Sotheby’s. Following ConstitutionDAO’s failed bid in 2021, we raised over 100 ETH in just 7 days. However, the project was abruptly halted when Sotheby’s postponed the auction indefinitely.

I was also a Steward and was on the Accelerator's team. Managed treasury and accounting, helped incubated projects deliver on projects and products, and also coordinated where possible IRL.
