Here is my conversation with Charles St.Louis: intothebytecode.xyz/charles-stlouis-element/

Charles St.Louis is the COO at Element Finance, a protocol for fixed and variable rate yield markets and previously the governance architect at MakerDAO.

In this conversation, we talked about Element’s governance system - with a particular focus on voting vaults, a powerful new primitive that decouple the relationship between capital and voting power and allow much more expressiveness in how users are given a governance voice in the ecosystem.

Timestamps:

  • 2:54 - MakerDAO’s arc of decentralization

  • 7:51 - how Maker influenced Element’s design

  • 10:22 - the Governance Steering Council

  • 21:25 - voting vaults

  • 29:10 - L1 and L2 for governance

  • 33:23 - qualitative evaluation for contributions

  • 37:50 - the ElFiverse and NFTs in the Element community

  • 42:24 - on being a protocol delegate

🙏
