Why do you want to serve as an Expert Evaluator for the Localism Fund?
I've spent the past four years documenting and supporting projects at the intersection of Ethereum, coordination, and real-world impact, from Funding the Commons to Crypto Altruists. I believe the next step for Ethereum lies in grounded, locally-led, empowered ecosystems that translate the technical innovation of the past decade or so into tangible community outcomes. That's why joining the Expert Network feels exciting to me; I want to find ways to contribute to this evolution, whether it's through evaluation, mentorship, or any other way that strengthens local initiatives.
