• 🎽 Peter did very well to finish and announce 3 gaming partnerships from the gamer developer conference (accomplish important work).
• 🎽 Peter has strong experience and opinions about the industry. I would ask Peter to also consider the alternate viewpoints as well as the global needs of the whole team (disconfirm own beliefs). 🛹
• 🎽 Be mindful of your communications to the team. If you forward a message to a group without an explanation, it may seem that you are endorsing the full content and the sentiment in that message (make everyone shine). The team look to you for leadership and support so what you say and how you say it both have enormous impact. 🛹
• 🦒 Wanted to thank Peter for his great help in conceiving use cases for interoperability the Blue Metaverse, for suggesting most promising projects, and for his thoughts about how bigger games can slot in to our ecosystem.
• 🐇 Peter has gained my appreciation and respect after hearing him talk at the offsite. He put a lot of work into his game studio proposal, and I felt that lead to one of the most productive conversations that we had at the offsite. I felt a lot more knowledgeable (and excited) about on-chain games as a whole after hearing him talk. One valuable lesson he’s taught us is: know when to say no.
• 🎤 I respect Peter tremendously. He is pragmatic, direct, and understands where to allocate time/resources in the best way to make our biggest impact. I am often idealistic and have often called Peter my north star, as he offers a perspective that is often very different from my own, which helps me see the pragmatic side of things more clearly. He has taught me the value of saying no, when appropriate, and focusing on the big picture to maximize our impact.
• 🐉 Peter is a 1-man Special Ops for Harmony, and I’m so glad he’s taking on the game initiatives and culture partnerships. His hyper focused approach is building a huge swell of momentum going into Q3 and Q4 of this year. Best of all, he calls out all-the-things as it is, which is what the team exactly needs: effective and efficient.

• 🦒 Wanted to thank Peter for his always-welcome and unfettered takes on the viability of Harmony ecosystem projects, and especially for his advocation and roadmap for areas of focus which will have the most genuine impact.
• 🌲 I am constantly impressed by Peter’s ability to make connections and bring in valued partnerships. He understand both sides of the table better than anyone I know and is a powerhouse when it comes to finding alignment and building consensus. We could not be in a better place going into Q3 and Q4 with Peter at the helm of the gaming initiative.
• 🎽 Peter’s individual push on gaming has been critical to get our team focused on this particular area. I would like to see Peter bring insights and leadership in times of change for the rest of the team (nurture & mentor).
• 🎥 Peter is the 10x factor that Harmony needs to succeed. He has been instrumental in closing deals with partners and his laser focus on gaming will pay off big in the end to increase users, adoption, and transactions.
• 🔭 Peter is a logical and skeptical voice of reason backed by years of experience and wisdom in this space, and I’m happy to know he’s spearheading our push to foster a stronger presence in gaming / GameFi.

• 🛹self assessment: Q2 can be described as a series of start-stop, start-stop, etc. initiatives. I was very excited about leading our gaming efforts and believed wholeheartedly in our potential to compete against bigger and better capitalized competitors, but it’s an effort that requires time and money, and Harmony has neither. So, what do I focus on next for Q3? Not sure. I want to help rebuild Harmony. I feel like we are an embattled boat trying to get past the whitewater, but keep getting hammered and pushed back by the waves. I’m still reasonably optimistic. Let’s see where this journey takes us next. 💙
• 🎤: Peter is a mountain of wisdom, experience, and knowledge - yet remains so humble. Peter has a true knack for bringing in valuable partnerships to Harmony. I am thrilled to be working with Peter on gaming.
• 🌲 Peter continues to be a valuable lodestone in turbulent waters. While at times he can tell truths that are difficult to hear, he has yet to steer anyone wrong in his advice. He is quick to create new strategies and validate them with real conversations with real people in the marketplace. I have yet to hear Peter express a strategy that hasn’t been vetted through several other valuable thought-leaders in the space. I have also seen him “kill his babies” (meaning he will let his own precious idea die if it turns out to be a bad idea) for the betterment of the protocol and the people.
• 🎥 Peter is laser focused on the goal of developing Harmony’s gaming ecosystem. He has consistently used his years of experience in the protocol to help sell us to potential partners in the space with great success. Peter has a plan and he executes. He is a true leader that cuts through all the noise and keeps his eyes on the ball.
• 🔭: Details to be added 6/30.
• 🌳 Peter is an astounding core member to work with that demonstrates deep understanding of Harmony ecosystem. He’s been my point person when I have questions on investable projects for our gaming ecosystem. I value his truth telling approach.
• ☁️ I truly appreciate Peter's honest insights and opinions. He does not blindly follow or agree with ideas that don't create impact. He brings with him a wealth of experience in this space and I feel his skills and opinions are majorly underutilized as a thought leader. I have a lot of admiration and respect for Peter and as an organization, I would like us to trust his instincts and ideas more.
• 🦒 Peter is the person I turn to most not to get new brainstorming ideas, or a hot take, or an intuition, but to get what is usually the actual correct answer, justified by data and/or experience, about the worthiness and prospects for a project, Harmony initiative, area of focus, or strategy. He’s been a dream to work with, not just for this reason, but also for his ability to put his direction into actual battle plans, and then to go out and execute them, so that his ideas will have the most impact.

• 🏏 In the month April, I was partially managing jenya (@Giv Parvaneh would love your feedback too, as previous manager). Jenya worked on building relayer and proof clients for our upcoming trustless eth bridge. Also other components like frontend and statistics dashboard. These are not yet fully functional, but very concrete progress towards the launch. Jenya is also owner of two other most widely used products: the explorer and the multisig. He regularly works on improving them with features.

• 🏏 It was difficult month for jenya with things happening in his country and the move, yet jenya was always available to address any emergencies. While continuing to add more features and improve the two products (block explorer and multisig), jenya had to dive deep for analyzing multisig service interruption and also a carefully audit of the feature upgrades that were done in the gnosis safe github repo to figure out if any critical features are not forward ported to our multisig (which is a fork of gnosis safe). When the things resolve and become better, I encourage jenya to participate more on cross-team initiatives in terms of collaborating and providing valuable feedbacks.

• 🎽 I want to recognize Sam for his focus this month and long-time crafts on iterating and learning about the DAO ecosystem. He’s attracted strong contributors to our DAO operations team by prioritizing people over process.
• 🎽 Sam can do more on obsess over details by facilitating the written communication practices of our team. Specifically, help his sub-team and projects write their April updates with links per our guidelines before I do it. Also I already gave this feedback, but make sure the processes you run and meetings your organize are relevant to our needs - we don’t need 4 core team on a call to get an update that could actually be better as a written update which can be read and consumed by all 25 team + many more contributors/community.
• 📖 I want to recognize Sam for always looking out for his team. Even as he took well-deserved personal time off, Sam actively supported the DAO Ops team during a critical time in the ecosystem’s development. He is the best mentor I have ever had.
• 🐇 I’d like to express my tremendous gratitude and appreciation for Sam. As a mentor, and as a team leader, his skill set is unparalleled. I wouldn’t be where I am today had it not been for his dedication to our DAO Ops team. He’s taught me to work hard, but also to remember to enjoy the work you do, have fun and make light of situations. The sense of humor & good energy he brings to our calls is really awesome (always there to crack Dad jokes and make others laugh when needed, but also knows when to be serious and get work done). He knows his stuff and is an extremely hard working. Sam really cares about Harmony and his team, & I am lucky to have had him as a mentor.
• 🎤 Sam is an incredible human being and leader. This month was challenging for Sam and the DAO team, but they each handled the DAO pivot and community sentiment with such grace, humility, and positivity. I think they have done an incredible job preparing for the coming years of DAOs. Sam has also been managing some personal things, yet stays focused on leading his team and has never allowed his personal stress to affect his work or his attitude. He stays incredibly positive, focused on serving his team.
• 🛹 Sam does his best with what he’s given. Q2 was difficult for him and his team given the negative sentiment with our approach to DAO’s, but he and his team executed with heart, care, and did their very very best. I applaud Sam and team for their hard work and execution.

• 🎽 I would like to see Sam help the team learn more insights on DAO adoption, in written summaries, across the entire industry and what we can learn and how we can position ourselves for 10x growth.
• 🏃 Sam can be more responsive in the team communication. I sometimes don’t know how to reach to Sam and get response in Telegram. 🌲

• 💃🏻: Sam has been an incredible leader this quarter. I want to applaud him especially for being a mentor to me professionally, primarily through events. He has headed initiatives that hold scalability, effectiveness, and efficiency. His knowledge and emotional intelligence make him a great asset as a colleague and leader.

• 🎽 Giv is formally considered for promotion as the head of products and communication. Rongjian, Leo, Li, Peter, Ganesha, Sam, Jack, Adrian and Matt have set Q2 deliverables for Giv in early April to evaluate his eligibility over three months.
• 🏏 My expectations for Giv's promotion is that he produce representative examples along:
1. Product revival: analyze current products and propose improvement strategies to revive them (outcomes: report of shortcomings, improvement proposal, resource allocation, prioritization, revival roadmap).
2. Product framework: drive the strategy, tactics, and delivery timelines for upcoming products (outcomes: go to market strategies, external communication, roadmap, resource management, metrics of success)
3. Product opportunities: identify product opportunities (on what we should be building) by market research and propose attainable scope for our settings (outcomes: market research report w/ feasibility analysis).
1. ☁️ Thank you Ganesha. 1) This is my desired approach - to have a holistic understanding and ownership of all of our products and constantly assess our roadmap and prioritization. 2) GTM strategy is key. We haven’t typically done a great job following through with launches. I’m aiming to work with our comms/marketing team to better understand and maximize our success metrics. 3) There is a lot of innovation happening, especially now during the market downturn. It’s a good opportunity to research and identify new products to bring impact to the ecosystem.
• 🏃 My expectation is mostly focusing on the product strategy and roadmap. The outcome is the strategy document, plan, or roadmap narrative.
• Internal products: How to balance the internal product launch with the externalization? What would be the balance to launch internal product vs externalization? For externalization, I would like to see an updated plan.
• Products launching in the next 6-12 months: What’s the overall launch plan for the upcoming 1wallet and 20% income product? In addition to those, I would like to see a research and plan for the payment gateway product which can fully utilize the potentials of Harmony.
• Platform as product: Harmony provides the infrastructure and blockchain service as the main product. What would be best platform features to launch such like ZK primitives and what’s the marketing strategy for existing features, such like VRF, and staking precompiles? An executable plan and action items are expected.
• ☁️ Thanks, Leo. Internal/external balance is something I would like to be very mindful of. I don’t think we want to manage many product internally due to lack of resources and longer decentralization goals. I’m hoping through DAOs, Guilds, and Partnerships we can strike a healthy balance of utility and decentralization. We do need to better manage our roadmap also as well as understanding how to best launch/utilize our valuable native offerings like VRF, staking precompiles.
• 🎽 My expectations for Giv:
• Monthly product launch with campaign: prioritizes and choose which product(s) to launch every month. He resolves all the dependencies and bottlenecks with engineers. makes hard trade off on which features to ship and which to cut.
• Giv coordinates a communication plan with a calendar of dates and time for announcements and follow up campaigns.
• Monthly launches would be for key initiatives that the core team is working on such as trustless ETH, BTC bridge, fixed income, cross-shard transactions.
• Weekly partner product launches like Aave, Chainstack. Coordinate with the partners date and time of launch, including details on when rewards would start, and leads the team or his subteam to make the maximum impact on community.
• ☁️ Thanks, Li. Timing campaigns, launches, partnerships will be key to maximize impact and growth. I’m hoping to work closely with our PR/marketing team to create a comprehensive comms calendar for surgical campaigns to ensure all our internal launches + partnership announcements yield max results.
• 🛡 I expect Giv to step up as a true leader to help the company win in critical moments in community relationship and product direction.
• As a head of product, I would like Giv to have a clear product roadmap written out with more insights and reasoning about why certain products are needed or changed. So far his work on product are mostly in maintenance phase such as migration or sunsetting. Head of product should step up on higher level with more visionary thinking and thought leadership.
• As head of communication, Giv should bridge what happened in Harmony and what the community demands, planning communication efforts such as weekly or monthly summary, writing PR responses to critical community feedback or FUDs, coordinating with the core team to react to and address community’s questions.
• ☁️ Thank you, RJ. 1) I have already taken ownership of our product roadmap and implemented clearer quarterly launch dates. As I mentioned above, my goal is to go deep on not only our own products but assessing what other projects are doing to better plan for future product initiatives. 2) I am working closely with Daniel, Kelly, and community leaders to keep track of feedback, FUD, and general questions to earn trust.
• Peter: I’d like Giv to own the product development process end-to-end. That means product inception and working with Peter and others on market research, managing the sprints, product launch and product marketing, adoption, and growth, and maintenance and customer experience.
• Peter: At the beginning of the quarter, it seemed like Giv would be doing more product-related work, but it appears he’s also doing a lot of team management and overall overhead-type of activities. If that will continue, then I am concerned about his ability to focus on product. I believe Giv is qualified and ready to take on product in a way that will help Harmony lead and will help optimize each product launch for maximum exposure and success. But, if he continues to do team management, that will hinder his ability to be successful on the product side.
• ☁️ Thanks, Peter. I agree that operations are currently taking up most of my time which would deter me from going deep on products. My aim is to simplify and delegate operations as much as possible so over time I can shift more of my time over to product management.
• 🎤 My expectations for Giv:
• Establish himself as the head of products and communication to the community, detailing product roadmap, addressing community sentiments through weekly/biweekly PR reports, ensuring our “why” for all initiatives is always clear to the community, ensuring our team directives are aligned to each other and to the community.
• ☁️ Thank you, Matty. I will be working closely with Kelly, our PR team, and community leaders to tell a clearer story about the “why” and “how” of Harmony’s value proposition.
• 🎥  My expectations for Giv:
• Giv Q2 communication expectations: Gain consensus on a retail facing website SEO. Develop an information flow that protects the integrity of our transparency but also protects the integrity of our brand and partners. Work with PR firms to gate high impact stories with a systematic flow of information for maximum impact.
• Giv Q2 improvements: Needs to integrate time for the team to actually be creative and come to consensus on product direction…. We must know what we are building before we build it. Always have an answer for the “Why?”
• ☁️ Thank you, Adrian. My goal is to go deep on product and communications. They are tightly related since we need to be able to follow through on product announcements, education of the community, and timing PR/press releases. As part of all of this, we have to ensure we have a clear product roadmap and unified vision which I have been working on.

• 🎽 I’d like to ask Giv to help make everyone shine in learning team communications. I suggest he first show his subteam how best to fully finishing the monthly team updates and then spread that to the rest of the core, fellows and contributors.
• 🎥 Giv has been super valuable in helping steer the conversation into better Comms and Marketing. In addition to that, his insight on helping me understand guilds has helped a bunch.
• 🔭 How Giv finds the time to work on everything currently on his plate is a mystery to me. I’ve worked closely with Giv for a few months now and I’m still impressed by his ability to a) be everywhere and b) be successful at it. From working on the website, to refreshing our roadmap, to assisting Jeremy, Matt B., and Logan on publishing the ONEWeekly on YouTube and Medium in my absense; Giv is there for the team and Harmony in ways that are invaluable to the project. He’s the right person to lead our products and I’m looking forward to seeing what else Giv delivers in the next month.
• 🎬 Giv has been instrumental in helping internal communications improve, as well as brand messaging. We have already begun coordinating better since the offsite and will continue to improve.

• 🌲 Giv continues to be an ideal steward and manager of this project. I have continued to be impressed by his steady hand, by the calming influence he has when emotions run hot and the unknowables outstrip that which is known. His work on bringing the Graph up to the level cannot be understated as it is a vital part of the infrastructure that many projects rely upon.
• 🎤: Giv manages countless initiatives, team processes, and partnerships at a very high level all while maintaining his calm demeanor and excellent tact in managing relationships with our team and ecosystem partners. Giv’s leadership has been extremely valuable as we align our team going into Q3.
• 🥤: Giv has provided steady and consistent leadership long before I ever had the opportunity to work directly with him. Whether that is providing prompt responses to feedback (VIA ONEWeekly, the Horizon updates, etc) he has always presented a calm in every storm iv weathered with him. I appreciate his thoughtful insight and professional tact even when faced with seemingly impossible odds. 💙
• 🎥: Giv is a consistently strong leader, one that commands respect. He brings a sensible charm to the team and stays cool under pressure. He has really helped steer the ship in regards to strengthening our core message and communications. Giv is the glue that binds the team together, keeps us strong.
• 📗 What can I say about Giv? No matter how busy he is, no matter how crazy things are… Giv will be there for you, providing concrete, actionable support. It would not be the same without him. He also has the necessary seniority when the time comes to approach key corporate clients.
• 🇪🇺 Giv's image abroad is key to demonstrating seriousness and business continuity.
• 🔭: Giv has taken on a number of initiatives for June. From managing a high number of team members to managing our initiatives such as our website redesign, launch of The Graph partnership, and more. He is available for providing feedback and guidance when I've needed help, and has been great at helping me take my concerns and convert them into action. Giv is a great mentor and friend, and I'm excited to bring in Q3 with him as my manager.
• 🐇 Giv continues to impress me time and time again. He has handled adversity and difficult times with grace, understanding, and impeccable communication skills, being a key liaison of communication between our team & the community. This has given our community a great deal of respect & appreciation for Giv. At a time when the community has been looking for answers and guidance, he has been there to do the tough job. He continues to keep a level and head and embodies all the qualities of a strong leader. Giv maintains an excellent balance of positivity, optimism, but also realism and isn’t afraid to say what needs to be said. He takes things at face value, analyzes, and works to find the appropriate solution. Giv is approachable, helpful, and supportive to our whole team, leading our All-Hands calls he always creates a pleasant, professional atmosphere. With his experience and skillset we are incredibly lucky to have him on our team, and I could not picture this team without him.
• 🚜 Giv is as cool as a cucumber and inspires confidence with his thoughts and opinions.
• 🦒 Giv has it all: focus, strategy, intensity, and demeanor. This month especially, he provided helpful guidance in navigating all of the project’s changes in focus, and I look forward to continuing working with him.
• Peter: Giv continues to lead Harmony in meaningful ways by helping the rest of the team to shine.

• 🏃: Soph leads all the conversation and support to important exchange partners and validators. He handled lots of on-call issues. He is a hidden hero of the team.
• 🏓 : Soph helped me build a local testnet step by step, greatly improving my develop/test efficiency, otherwise HIP16 develop/test efficiency would be very low.
• 🐉 Soph has begun to delegate more to his new teammates, which allows him to begin looking at the big picture. I’d urge Soph to continue in this direction, focusing of delivering via automation, documentation, cost reductions, re-architecture together with his teammates. Being remote, it would help to proactively propagate high-impact priorities deliverables to be shared across the entire leadership team.
• 🐯 Soph is easy to work with on interview scheduling and provide feedback quickly. I look to Soph to continue support the recruiting effort, e.g. post the job biweekly on LinkedIn/Twitter.

• 🏃: Glad Soph can take some time off in May to relief stress and accompany the family. We all miss him when he is off. :-) The testnet down issue becomes a problem now, needs closer collaboration with the community.
• 🛡 I appreciate the dedication and all the extra hours Soph put on our operational tasks and all the handling of issues from partners, validators and developers. I can’t emphasize more on the importance of the work done by Soph. I hope Soph can keep the work life balance better and start transferring him knowledge to the new ops team to share the load.
• ♏️ Soph is the first one who I worked with at Harmony. I really enjoyed working with him and learned a lot from him. I can’t believe how lucky I am to have a great colleague like him in my timezone. Soph brings a lot of positivity to the work and I was blown away by his contributions during last month. We enjoyed his contribution during the 4 training sessions. Thanks a lot for that.

• 🛰️ Soph is extremely patient and understanding to work with. Whenever I am on call, Soph is able to quickly help me out with places where I get stuck to help resolve them, indicating his in-depth understanding of the devops process. He’s very open to suggestions and he considers any inputs I share with him when time permits. I am glad to work with Soph every time on call; he makes like much easier during those days.
• 🔭: To be completed 6/30.

• 🎽 I want to recognize Jack for his effort to nurture & mentor our ecosystem team. Jack is thoughtful and systematic, organizing processes that help us grow and help make everyone shine.
• 🎽 Jack is driving many initiatives. I would like to suggest he focus on just a few areas that can bring us 10x growth, potentially that could be on fiat onramps and go deep to push us onto 10 more platforms and gateways. Additionally, I encourage Jack to make tough decisions on our cloud usage and help push decisions and changes even if you feel like you are not the main architect.
• 💃🏻 Jack has a gift for organizing! Jack leads our grants team with care and dedication, always making it more efficient and scalable. He has been an asset to each of us on the team and continues to find solutions to improve our processes.
• 🎤 Jack has been an incredible support for me. In just one short talk with Jack during a moment I felt burnout, I felt renewed and focused with an actionable plan to improve my workflow to decrease my burnout. Thank you, Jack. That was a special moment for me. Jack manages many initiatives, and has been a great leader for our grant ops team - always pushing our process forward to maximize the value to our team and ecosystem.
• Peter: Jack continues to work hard on behalf of Harmony. I’d encourage Jack to focus - at times he appears to be doing everything, everywhere, all the time, for everyone, with everyone, by everyone, all over the place. Thankfully Jack continues to execute despite the lack of focus, and I encourage Jack to focus on the few super important things for which he’s especially good at doing.
• ☁️ Jack is a swiss army knife and will have a positive impact no matter which area he focuses on. I feel Jack’s valuable skills are tied up managing grants and would instead like to see him be more involved with developer relations and to prepare our ecosystem to welcome new developers.
• 🐯 Jack helped create the engineering team onboarding process. Very helpful. He also has deep thinking in recruiting process improvement. I look to Jack to continue support the recruiting effort, e.g. post the job biweekly on LinkedIn/Twitter.

• 🎽 Jack is covering many projects on harmony.one/may and doesn’t have the bandwidth to finish. I suggest he can focus on how to make deeper impact while assigning ownership to other teammates for the rest (activity < productivity).

• 🌲 Jack constantly impresses me by the amount of work he accomplishes… even when he is “off” or “on vacation”. I am proud of the work he has done to pull together the venue network and I look forward to seeing the result of his work on the RPC cost reduction. The items that Jack is responsible for are mission critical and I look forward to seeing his results.
• 🎤 I can’t speak highly enough about Jack. His work ethic is unparalleled as he manages countless partnerships and initiatives. Jack has done an excellent job of organizing our grants team and raising the bar of our grants program, and his leadership in developer relations will be integral in strengthening our dev community.
• 🌳 Jack continuously showcases his leadership with diligence. He is a prime example of accountability and directional strategy. His deep-knowledge and guidance with complimentary of his sense of humbleness underpins his capabilities of leadership. I am honored to be working alongside such intellectual influence. 💙
• 🇪🇺 Jack has proven to be accessible for any conversation and contagious calm. I think that, at the moment, a person like Jack in the team strengthens the continuity of the business.
• 📗 I was in a very high level meeting with a potential client with Jack. The way he led the discussion was paramount for the client to believe in Harmony and be willing to move fwd to future, more detailed conversations.
• 🚜 I’m privileged to call Jack my mentor. His patience and soft-spoken analytics is irreplaceable.

• 🎽 For your April deliverables: below expectation on team communications. Per team guidelines, you must add a public deliverable document to each item and scope the deliverables to reach 270% completion by 4/30.
• ☁️ While events are important, I feel our products, partner launches, and branding are being neglected. It definitely feels your time spent on 30% Event allocation is much higher than that. I’d like to see less on events and more on product marketing initiatives that will bring us 10x growth.
• ⛵ Wanted to thank Adrian (& Danny) for helping to make our promote video for ZKU.
• 🦒 Wanted to thank Adrian for sharing his creative ideas in defining use cases for a Blue Metaverse.
• 🎬 Adrian was a beast this month as always. As the creative lead, Adrian was instrumental in putting our creative team together. I believe he has chosen the right people to put us in the right place to succeed.
• 🎤 Adrian has assembled a great team of creatives that have already made a huge impact. Adrian continues to be a massive workhorse; his effort and impact remains unparalleled. Adrian is a Swiss army knife, making an impact in every initiative. I admire his passion and ability to think outside of the box on team discussions.
• ☁️ Adrian’s energy and enthusiasm is unmatched at Harmony. Always learning, always experimenting, and always thinking outside the box to come up with creative ways to increase Harmony’s brand and presence.
• 🐉 Adrian has taken quite a hit from a number of events but continues to plough forward, capturing the feeling from our boots-on-the-ground efforts in the highest quality and impactful narrative.

• 🔭 Thank you for being driven to deliver top quality content and understanding that details matter. Your continual push to raise the bar in our content, communication, and pretty much everything we do as a team is greatly appreciated. With regards to May, it was a pleasure to work alongside Adrian as he filmed the team for post-onsite interviews and helped coach them along the way. Thank you for looping me into some of your calls this month - it was great to sync up and meet your team.
• 🎬 Adrian is invaluable asset to the team in many ways. He took initiative to do a proper scout for potential ONEConference venues. Additionally, Adrian always contributes immensely in creative brainstorms, helping lockdown ideas for the 1wallet treatments. Furthermore, he promptly got to work on offsite initiatives for content by filming interviews before the end of the month.
• ☁️ Adrian and team continue to get better and stronger. The quality of the content is improving dramatically and the community is responding very well to them. For next month, I’d like to see Adrian do even less on other initiatives and go deep on planning for ONEConference. Let’s lock down the venue next month and start planning the rest.
• 🎞 Adrian’s drive and determination is unmatched, his dedication to the ONEWallet was inspiring. He is truly a shepherd of our video flock. I hope he continues to shoot amazing content next quarter, I’d like to see him freed up to work on more on creative video and less administrative work.

• 🌲Adrian’s passion for this project is undeniable. The amount of skill and talent he puts into both the creation and polish of our content is next level and he is doing an uncanny job with what he is given. Adrian has always been and continues to be a source of keen insight and helpful at refining strategy and our go to market campaigns.
• 🎤: Adrian is a Swiss Army Knife - the kind of person you want on your team when things get tough. Adrian is hyper-focused, is always the first to dive in to the deep end to find solutions, and always puts the team before himself. Adrian embodies war mode and ability to thrive in chaos, and will be a huge player in boosting our team’s Q3 initiatives to create our biggest impact.
• 🔭: Adrian has been faced with challenges this quarter that’s forced him to pivot in order to adjust to changes in company direction, community sentiment, etc. Despite this, Adrian has contributed strongly across a variety of ways for Harmony. Coordination with communications, last minute filming requests, organizing the content team through Trello, putting together content with his team that has high-impact potential across social media — these are just some items that come to mind where Adrian has contributed greatly and I’m sure I can think of many more. He put together a competent and skilled team who not only gets the job done, they work well together and with others which makes collaboration enjoyable. Adrian is the type of colleague I wish I could work with regardless of where my career leads. He has gained a great deal of my trust and confidence, and I feel that we’re only starting to see his full potential despite consistently being significantly impressed by his talent and work ethic.
• 🌳 Adrian is a key component to Harmony with valuable insight. I respect his honesty on dos & don’ts. His passion for creative work astounds me time and time again. He is sincerely reliable to decisions and able to execute when called on.
• ♠️: Adrian is a great manager and mentor that I can get inspired and challenged. He helped me to settle in Harmony in terms of cultural and business aspect. Also he clearly know what to do in bigger scale picture and I could rely on him for the clear direction for my work and projects.
• 👁‍🗨: Adrian has been and still is by far the best teacher and mentor I’ve ever encountered. He is incredibly good at keeping a healthy balance of nurturing support and challenging his team to do better and come up with new improvements every day. He is a go-getter and a doer in every sense of the word, just makes things work, and work well. Aside from being an excellent mentor and teacher, he is single-handedly coordinating a huge chunk of all front-facing and internal content. To be able to do that you need to not be a jack of all trades, but a jack of many, and while he is a jack of many trades, he seems to have deep knowledge and experience in many of those fields, yet keeps an open mind to learn from and listens to others on things he doesn’t know so much about. Adrian is essential for Harmony’s future, hands down. He has the will and the way to improve Harmony’s quality of content and voice 10x. 💙
• 🐇: Adrian takes his role very seriously at Harmony. It is rare to come by people as hardworking and driven as him. He never ceases to impress me, and continues to travel out to Palo Alto with his recording equipment to record content, always working to refine our messaging and content (he’s always the last one to leave the office when he is here). We worked together on the Opolis partnership video, and I swear he just shows up READY TO GO, positive, creatively brainstorming, critiquing, and improving the process along the way! He embodies all the qualities of a professional.
• 📗 It has mostly been said above. However, I would like to add that what I probably admire the most about Adrian is how he consistently tries to innovate. As the competition continues to increase and as we face difficulties of all sorts, innovation (beyond tech innovation) will most probably be what sets Adrian apart. Also, while the strategic shift of events must not have been easy for Adrian, I admire how he has made the best of a complicated situation and adapted his role. Kudos.
• 🚜 Adrian never shuts off the idea firehose. I love being around that energy. We’re born dreamers and Adrian lives that every day with his ambitious ideas for any topic at hand.
• 🦒 Adrian is an inspiration, as he digs down deep into whatever is needed and requested, and he always seems to hit a home run and do whatever it takes. He’s driven while being balanced, focused without being stubborn, and is an ideas-generating machine the likes of which I have rarely seen on any team and in any company: if I am ever looking to smell-test my initial assumptions or to brainstorm new ideas and directions, he is usually the first place I’d turn.
• 💃🏻: Adrian says the things nobody wants to say and continues to look for ways for us to grow. He has challenged us and shown us the courage we all are learning to carry. Adrian has worked hard this quarter to deliver the absolute best for our team, and I have watched him do this with patience, an open mind, and integrity.

• 🦒 Wanted to thank Daniel for continually proactively weighing in to make sure that our messaging around Blue Metaverse aligns with community sentiment.
• 📖 I want to recognize Daniel for his attention to our community, especially when it comes to crafting our messages to the community and the OneWeekly video series. Bravo!
• 💃🏻 Daniel is a force we need to reach our community, and I wanted to highlight his success and care for this mission. Daniel has been an immense support and asset to the success of the ambassadors, and he continually seeks solutions to the barriers they face.
• 🎬 Daniel deserves a lot of praise for helping introducing the ONEWeekly videos. It is great to have someone on the team who understands the community and can give us the feedback we need.
• 🎥 Amazing job collaborating and executing ONEWeekly. Your script writing has really helped push communication initiatives forward, something we really needed.
• 🎤 I want to commend Daniel on his ability to engage with the community. It’s no easy job to manage sentiment on community message boards, but Daniel has done a truly excellent job in communicating with the community, being direct and graceful in his approach. The ONEWeekly series is a fantastic initiative.
• 🛹 Daniel is doing great with external communication and is an accurate steward for community sentiment. I encourage Daniel to continue to do so, and also provide possible solutions in order to change community sentiment. To a degree, the ONEWeekly was a response to the sentiment that Harmony doesn’t communicate enough. I recommend more of these tangible solutions to problems brought up by the community. Great job in Q2.
• ☁️ Daniel has managed to bring much-needed confidence and trust to the community through his constant engagement and producing high quality/thoughtful content such as ONEWeekly videos. He is a trusted member of the community and needs no hand-holdoing to get the job done. I truly appreciate having Daniel on the team.
• Daniel has been a phenomenial mentor to me working on the ONEWeekly newsletter and scripts for Logen. He brings a great technical grasp as well as fresh approach to communicating with the community which I believe has been extremely well received through the AMA’s, videos and his constant ability to engage on our socials.
• ⚽️ Daniel has been great in dealing with the community sentiment and aligning our messaging on external communications. The ONEweekly campaigns has had good impact and we must definitely build more campaigns that are in line with the community sentiment. Daniel has been influential in making the team understand and realise how Blue Metaverse and BAYC was perceived by the community and putting these campaigns on a pause is the best course of action we could have taken at the moment. He is also a great mentor and keeps me in the loop with the strategic decisions taken by team during TGIs and off site where I cannot be present.
• 🐉 You put your life into your work, and it shows, most recently with the initiatives kicked off from Harmony ONE Weekly. That’s a LOT of sacrifice and the level of diligence and customer obsession is bar none. I hope (and have seen signs) that you scale yourself by coach others to do what you do best, and continue to build towards that, to help keep your momentum while having a better work-life balance.
• 🐯 Daniel is a good listener and a believer of community first. He really care about community’s voice.

• 🎥 Pagan has been very instrumental in helping craft the right scripts and narratives for our videos. I personally had his assistance in crafting teleprompter scripts for future content. Pagan gets it when it comes to Comms. He is a true leader on everything retail facing.
• 🎬 It has been great working more with Pagan by collaborating on our video production. His contributions to the video/content team not only makes our lives easier, but it makes for overall better content as well.
• ☁️ Daniel has taken our community interaction to another level. He goes deep on our roadmap and is able to speak about our products and initiatives with confidence. For next month, I’d like to suggest that Daniel spends less time on initiative with less impact such as office interviews, and instead dedicate more time to scale content for ONEWeekly and ramp up our social media efforts.

• 🌲 Daniel has taken the unenviable task of communicating difficult truths to a wide audience and handled it with skill and dexterity. The trust he continues to maintain with the community is a valuable asset that Harmony continues to need. He rolled out some very valuable content during this quarter and he continues to be a good steward of communications.
• 🎤: Despite unfavorable conditions, Daniel has managed communications with excellence. This is no easy task, and Daniel has carried many stresses on his shoulders as a result. He continues to put himself out there in the most difficult situations, earning the respect and trust from the community. In creating meaningful content through ONEWeekly and managing communications on our social platforms, Daniel has really moved the needle on improving community sentiment and continues to help their voices be heard. Daniel is a massive asset to the team.
• 🎬 I have worked more with Daniel in the last two months and he has helped tremendously with our content, not only in helping with scripts but also in strategizing what to create. He is an instrumental part of the team and has shown much leadership in his role in communications.
• 🥤Daniel has provided unbelievable guidance, mentorship, and a steady hand during my onboarding, and absolutely prepared me to do my best work; while providing necessary pushback and stewardship to deliver on our initial quarter together. I believe I speak for more than just me when I say I don't know what I would do without Daniel. Absolutely a godsend. 💙
• 🎥 MVP… GOAT…. these are a few words that I think of when thinking of Pagan’s contributions this quarter. He is one of my favorite teammates to bounce ideas and concepts off of. He has a knack for speaking up when times are tough in a very respectful and precise tone that commands respect. He is a natural leader, and his ONEWeekly initiative has been a major hit for the community. If I was to hand an award for best quarterly performance, it would go to Pagan no questions asked.
• 🔫 Daniel has done an amazing job of providing needed external communication to the community. He has taken on the hard task of putting himself out there in front of the public which has paid off concerning community sentiment. It’s not an easy time to fill that role but Daniel and his team have stepped up and crushed it. His analytical skills and ability to forward-think are a great asset as well.
• 👁‍🗨 Daniel has been doing an incredible job at coordinating communications and coordinating them well. He’s overall a pleasure to work with, he listens to many many voices and opinions every day, yet manages to create a simple and cohesive communications strategy for Harmony, and it shows in his ability to make production processes such as ONEWeekly an overall pleasure to work on. No matter how much clutter there is on the outside, Daniel declutters and remains cool like a pro, ESPECIALLY in the past week.
• 🚜 Daniel is our shield. His communication with the community is an incredible boon for not only opening a window to Harmony’s hard work, but defusing an often emotional crowd that need a hand hold. Daniel reaches that hand out, for all of us. Daniel’s work boosts everyone else’s productivity by aligning the message and often protecting overall emotional well-being.
• Peter: Daniel, you continue to excel at external communications and knowing the pulse of the community. Keep doing it, it’s helping Harmony become better.

• ⛵ Wanted to thank Danny (& Adrian) for helping to make our promote video for ZKU.
• 💃🏻 Danny was a great help to us at Coachella. I'm grateful for the hard work and effort he provides to events (especially on the ground). I am expectant for things to come—having seen Danny show more ownership and initiative to get things done.
• 🎥 SXSW, Coachella, Ghana…. I mean damn, we had a busy month. Thanks for putting in the work and slugging out the long hours.
• 🎤 Danny is the most fun person to spend time with; he really brings people together and makes work so much fun, even when things are stressful. Danny works extremely hard and has created content at such a high bar while also helping the team drive other initiatives.

• 🎞 Danny had been doing a phenomenal job with juggling content and creative strategy, he’s a force to be reckoned with. I hope to see him continue what he’s been doing.

• 🎥 Danny really led the team this month in helping craft our social media strategy launching at the end of the month bleeding into June. In addition, he has been a key component in helping craft the ONEConference initial event document.
• 🔭 I joined a couple calls with the media team this month and it was very clear to me how instrumental Danny was in crafting a social media strategy. Looking forward to seeing their content hitting the masses through IG and TikTok.

• 🚜: Danny’s positive energy is contagious. I never leave an interaction with Danny without smiling, which helps everyone’s mood and productivity.
• 🔭: I’ve been able to work more with Danny in Q2 than past months. Danny’s positive outlook, talent, and desire to get things done is infectious and inspiring. He has been instrumental behind the scenes in helping his team deliver content across social media and I hope to work much more closely with Danny in the future.
• 💃🏻: Danny has significantly grown this quarter, and I am proud to have him on the team. He continues to be an asset with events and every tiny (or big) task. He is a stalwart, and I hope to see his wisdom and intellectual maturity more utilized this fall.

• 🎥 Hakwan and I started my video journey with Harmony, and I am happy that I could squeeze one more session right before he left to go to Tokyo. His ZKU initiative is one of the most valuable pieces of the puzzle for the future of Harmony, especially when it comes to scaling. His work today will prove to be critical when the scaling wars hit full throttle.
• 🎬 I really appreciate Hakwan’s efforts with ZKU by spearheading the initiative. It received great feedback in Rio and only continues to improve. I am excited to see future projects built on Harmony develop from this initiative. He also reached out to make a promotional video for ZKU, which I appreciated – it is always welcome and cherished when a team member has a video idea and wants to get involved in the creative process. I love collaborating with him!
• ☁️ Hakwan continues to make ZKU a success story. He has a great understanding of the path ahead and it able to execute on the roadmap month over month.
• ⚽️ What Hakwan is doing for the ecosystem (not just Harmony but Blockchain in general) with ZKU is yet to be vastly recognised by the community but he is playing a very important role in building Harmony’s future. Educating and onboarding scholars that shape the future of Web3 through scaling solutions is what’s going to take us to a 10x when the market revives. I get to interact with Hakwan on a regular basis for pushing out ZKU content, he is very collaborative and is always open to sharing his thoughts on new ways of pushing ZKU content out. A pleasure to work with.

• 🏏: It is needless to say how well hakwan is able to run the ZKU. While, I don’t get much time to follow all the progress being made there, i ran into some of the student projects and i was impressed to see how aligned the project topics are to harmony’s goals (e.g, zkKYC related project) and i can see these students getting prepared to contribute significantly to harmony’s zk technology advancements. kudos on that. Further, Hakwan helped immensely to transition Cathie.

• 💃🏻 Matt was tremendous support in operations in April. Matt executed and led the People Ops team to create a structure that gives us clarity and organization for the entire team. While being a great leader to us, I'd like to emphasize his care and dedication to our Harmony team and his intuitive ability to find efficient solutions.
• 🎥 Thanks for helping onboard my video team. There were growing pains, but we got through it and I’m glad that you were there to help along the way.
• 🎬 Although I didn’t work as much with Matt this month, Matt is always a call away when I need assistance on anything. He has really helped improve the onboarding process with new contributors recently, which is important for team culture. He is a dependable teammate who will have your back and support you when you are struggling.

• ⚽️ Matt is a hero like many others at Harmony who relentlessly works in the shadows. I remember Matt joining us end of last year and had so much impact with planning and execution of our Denver and Rio events. He did great with events and now with our focus on ecosystem growth, he is going to be an asset in operations and employee onboarding. Most of all, he is easy to work with and always willing to chip in on areas outside his core responsibilities.
• 🐉 Matty is an inspiration to all those around him. I’m super impressed by how obsessed he is with ensuring that all tasks assigned to him, and things that he thinks will help Harmony, is taken care of, especially onboarding new members into Harmony. I do urge Matty to figure out a way to …

I’ve always admired that Matty is the first to be there to help others, and always wants to make sure we all hit our deliverables.

Matty’s can-do attitude, his deft hand in managing people and projects, and his joy to work with have all been vital in ensuring the continued vitality of our work.

It’s clear that he has “startup mentality”, able to do what it takes to solve problems with a positive additude. If Harmony was a schoolyard game, Matty would be one of the first players you would want on your team.
• 🇪🇺 Matty's quick availability and resolution makes day-to-day tasks easier when it comes to managing tasks.
• 👁‍🗨 Simply put, Matty makes the Harmony working experience much easier, he’s incredibly helpful when I have any question at all, and keeps it incredibly sweet. He’s an excellent listening and an even better answerer. Super responsive, motivated, cooperative, and overall hard-working. 💙
• ♠️: Matty was my Google search and 911 for my onboarding process. he is such a big help for me when I get lost in Harmony. He can help me onboarding anytime every time and he responds me fairly quickly.
• 🐇: Matty continues to be a driving force of support and positivity for every member of the team. He is ALWAYS showing up for the team in a big way, traveling to Palo Alto weekly to spend time in the office and help the team on various initiatives.

I am really looking forward to what he accomplishes on the gaming guild, and I’m positive he will continue to make a huge positive impact for our team.

• 📖 I want to recognize Essa for her work on events. Not only has she identified an amazing team to ideate and execute Harmony’s event messaging, she has taken the time to create tools and documents to streamline the events process, which saves our team hours of work on each event. Essa has also – on several occasions – helped me to look past my own perspective and understand the greater picture. I thank her for that.
• 🎥 Great job coordinating Coachella. The experience ran smooth because of you and we made the best with what we had given the circumstances.
• 🎬 Esther has incredible work ethic and is constantly making sure operations are running smoothly, despite having a million things on her plate. It is a privilege to have someone as hard working and caring as Essa on the team, I always feel that I can come to her for help.
• 🎤 Essa and I have been strong support systems for each other. I know the recent months have had some ups and downs, but Essa has always remained incredibly positive and works as hard as anyone. She has gone above and beyond to support those around her, and has done a great job in owning and restructuring our event operations.
• 🐉 Essa is streamlining the event operations activities, though the team’s structure hasn’t been setup to empower her team for this. I wish to have Essa continue to learn more about the culture of web3, lean into NFT communities, learn about their web3 user experience and integrating those learnings into her daily responsibilities.
• 🐯 Our team is growing. It is challenging to coordinate team event than before. Essa did a great job on Q2 team offsite in a very short notice. She is a dependable team worker.

• 🎥 Essa was the glue keeping everyone together at the offsite. Her planning and attention to detail kept everyone comfortable and able to collaborate stress free. I can trust that when Essa is running something every box will be checked and everything will run smoothly. She is a rockstar.
• 🐇 In the time that Essa has been my mentor since the offsite, she has taken adequate time to check in with me, and sets aside time on a daily basis to make sure everything is going smoothly. She really cares about her mentees, and her position at Harmony. She is very thorough, and always willing to help & answer questions. You can trust when she is working on something, she gives it 100%, and I am looking forward to continuing to learn from Essa.

• 🛡 Max has done a fantastic job ever since I started working with him on the staking precompile bounty. After he joined full time, he continued the great work and exceeded my expectation greatly. He is able to pick up new task very quickly all by himself without too much guidance (staking, evm, gas estimation, cross-shard transfer etc.). I am looking forward to the continued growth of his technical capability on the protocol design and development and lead bigger initiatives by himself soon.

• 🛡 Max took on the hard problems each having many uncertainty and unknown issues. Regardless, he was able to make good progress on the problem analysis and had more insight about how to approach the problems for block sync and db replacement. Max is also always proactive in dealing with community problems and emergent issues which shows his strong dedication to the overall wellbeing of the project.

• ⚔️ Max has always been patient in explaining me golang code and harmony code logic, keep learning is important and his sharing help the entire team to elevate their skills. I love reviewing Max’s PR as they always come with extended test. What I would like to see in the future is his test to also be integrated with harmony-test repo so test can be re-executed for new PRs. 💙

• ☁️ Brian brings with him a wealth of experience creating and growing partner relationships. I would like to see Brian move beyond metaverse initiatives and help more on the bizdev efforts for more growth and impact.

• 📖 Brian is one of the most qualified business-oriented people at Harmony. I eagerly await the growth of 1MusicDAO; In the hands of Brain it will quickly disrupt everything.

• 🛡 Gheis amazed me during his first month by finishing his tasks earlier with great quality. His coding skill and problem solving skill is just fantastic. He was able to solve the prometheus metrics issue with Soph which has been there for more than a year. He is now looking into block sync codebase and will soon take over it as an owner.
• ⚔️ Gheis’ first month has been really amazing, with my interaction with him, he is a very skilled person that ask pertinent question in order to get things fixed. I am looking forward to work more with him !

• 🏏: While Tej has been working with us for several months before April, he was mostly helping with various bug fixes, testing, etc, however the April and May months have been very crucial for tej, as he was assigned some of the key and hard features to deliver. Tej executed the assigned tasks flawlessly and delivered them on time. I am super impressed with the quality of his code and testing. One of the key feature, vault staking, which allows vaults to stake their collateral and automatically collect ONE rewards once every 2 weeks was very well received by the vault runners and highly appreciated.

• 🏏 STRONG YES: Tej has made significant contributions in the month of May in almost finishing the user staking feature for the bitcoin bridge, which allows ONE holders to stake their ONE and earn both ONE and bitcoin as rewards. IMO, this feature is going to bring huge volumes to the bridge when launched. While, tej is able to prove himself in the role of individual contributor, i encourage tej to participate in reviewing others work (github PRs), collaborating partially in other projects, and slowly own several initiatives and drive them to success.
• 🗝️: Tej demonstrates deep domain expertise in onebtc bridge, and contract development. He made significant contribution to feature development of onebtc. As a fellow collaborator, I would like to see him incorporate code review feedback more, and ensure main branch in healthy state.

• 🌲 I want to recognize Devin’s contributions during April. While I stepped away from direct, day-to-day management of the DAO Ops team, Devin really stepped up in a strategic way to ensure that everything kept moving forward and learnings were incorporated into how Harmony does our DAO program. Could not have taken the leave I did without Devin backfilling and helping out where ever I needed.
• 🐇 Devin has been a pleasure to work with these past few months. Anything you need, Devin is always there to help and assist to get the job done. In April, we exceeded our deliverables for DAO tooling, and it just felt like we worked together pretty seamlessly, having excellent communication and mutual dedication to our tasks. I’ve always been impressed at Devin’s ability to help across multiple teams, and his knowledge of a broad range of subjects, backed up by research. Lastly, he has taught me to have a healthy work/life balance, which has helped to increase my productivity.

He has a keen insight into personal motivations and the power of aligned incentives and I could not be prouder of the way he has worked during this month.
• 🎥 STRONG YES: Devin’s understanding of DAOs is needed for us to grow and take DAOs to the next level.

• 🌲 STRONG YES: I am pulling Devin back into working with me in Games. While we worked together in DAOs, he was my right hand man and executed above and beyond. He constantly came to me with solutions to problems I hadn’t noticed before AND he took the initiative to get solutions running. Devin created the 1DAO Alliance and was instrumental in making sure that communication and ownership shifted between Harmony and our DAO ecosystem. He lead the team responsible for DAO Tools and they exceeded their goals each month they operated.

Regardless of what high-impact initiative he is involved in, Devin will become an integral part of our success.

He has fully committed to every effort thrown at him and continues to be an inspiration I look to regularly for how to be a more effective worker in both technical and social aspects. Devin is the embodiment of what a Harmonious member of our team should be.
• 🎥 STRONG YES: Devin just gets it done. If you put a project in Devin’s hands, you know it’s going to get done. And he doesn’t half ass it either…. Full send, always.
• 🐇 : Devin is a pillar of strength, dedication and intelligence on our team. He is one of the most level headed and driven individuals I’ve ever known. Anything he works on he puts in 110%, maintaining professionalism and optimism in all areas he works on. He is just an overall pleasant person to work with, and a huge value add to our team.
• 🚜 Devin is an encyclopedia of knowledge and executes with enthusiasm and stamina. He helped me redesign an entire pitch deck while burning the midnight oil just to help out. I appreciate his all-in attitude and willingness to tackle any challenge.

• 🏃: Xiaopeng had deep understanding of the evm and harmony code base. He learned fast on the CAPE project. Happy to have him back with us.
• 🏃: Xiaopeng keep testing and pushing the feature into production. He quickly helped many fixes of our code. He is getting better in the team communication.

• 🏏 STRONG YES: I was the happiest person when xiaopeng returned to harmony and started helping on various projects. Especially, on the trustless eth bridge, there were several issues that were preventing us from making progress and they were blockers.

Starting with the revamp of fixed-income smart contracts, reviewing bitcoin bridge feature pull requests, and now few of the key features of trustless ethereum bridge like building canonical chain in ethereum lightclient to handle the forks and implementing arbitrary message passing over the bridge (beyond token transfers).

• 🔭 Nick has been instrumental in onboarding quality, dedicated grantees into the Harmony ecosystem. This month was difficult for Nick as we (Harmony) re-prioritized our initiatives for the year. For Nick, this meant his primary tasks needed to be adjusted. That said, he’s pivoted some of his tasks to include deliverables which align better with our new initiatives, such as his engagement with game developers and studios. Nick has continued being a hard working and focused individual despite the turmoil brought on by the war in Ukraine and I look forward to his contributions in June.
• 🔭 STRONG YES : Despite the war happening around Nick locally, he has still managed to not only perform well on his deliverables, but was able to pivot mid-month and adjust his focus in reaction to our off-site initiatives. Within just a couple weeks, Nick was able to solicit a significant list of game developers and studios looking to bring their skills to blockchain / Harmony.
• 🐉 STRONG YES : Nick is quite the scout. Despite what’s happening around him with the Russian intrusion into his native home, he was still seeking to help grow the Harmony ecosystem, requesting to organize local hackathons (right before the conflict started), finding strong web3 builders that he meets around his region in-real-life; basically dreams of Harmony day-in day-out.

• 🌲 Rachel worked her tail off in April. I stepped back during April and a primary reason why DAO Operations continued to function well was Rachel’s hard work and tireless commitment. She was doing everything from shipping swag and hosting Ambassador DAO events, to drafting messaging, surveys and more.

In the month of May, I wrote and published a DAO reporting Mirror article to help educate our DAO community on reporting & avenues of achieving self-sustainability. In addition to this, I researched and composed as per request of @Stephen Tse (I presented my findings at our Napa offsite). I worked tirelessly to ensure ADAO could follow through on events that we had planned & committed to, helping ADAO to get one final month of operational expenses secured to follow through on those events. I traveled to our offsite in Napa Valley and spent time with the team, refining our vision and messaging by breaking off into groups and having problem solving sessions. I began working on educational content for our DAO tools, such as educational demo videos. I also helped to promote our weekly open DAO Ops calls (which can be seen on YouTube). I worked every week to compile an email list of all of our active DAO community members, and send out a recurring invitation to the community. Our DAO Ops team began working on 1DAO alliance and prioritizing self sustainability of DAOs.

She continues to be an asset for Harmony and I am excited to see what she does next.
• 🎤 STRONG YES: Rachel works extremely hard and wears her passion for Harmony on her sleeve.
