On May 23rd, Project Galaxy posted its first Project Galaxy DAO Proposal asking its community members to nominate candidates for the role of Community Treasury and multi-sig signers. The nominations are in and the community must vote on who they think should be on the treasury committee. The proposal received a total of 24 nominations and the community must vote to select 9 out of those 24 candidates.
Candidates were asked to provide their name, Twitter handle and a summary of their involvement or future planned involvement in the Project Galaxy ecosystem. Please find the list of the 25 candidates along with their summary below.
The vote will take place on snapshot starting on June 6th, at 12pm PST and ending on June 12th, at 12 PM PST. Every nominee will be an independent option on the snapshot. Voters must hold the $GAL token to be eligible to participate and vote. Voting Power is a « Weighted Voting» meaning the more $GAL a voter owns, the more voting power they have. If a voter has $GAL on both ETH and BSC, his voting power will be accumulated.
Voters can also delegate their voting power to another member. Delegation can be done here.
- Delegation isn’t cross-chain, which means an ETH address can only delegate their $GAL on ETH, to another ETH address
- If a voter has $GAL on both ETH and BSC and wants to delegate all their GAL on both chains, they must do it twice. Using their address with ETH first, then switching to BSC and repeating the delegation process.
- Delegation can’t be fractionalized. For example, If a voter has 100 $GAL, they can’t delegate 20 $GAL. If they wish to delegate, they have to delegate the full 100 $GAL.
The $GAL token is now available for trading across many of the top cryptocurrency exchanges globally. Some of the supported exchanges and protocols where $GAL trading is active for trading include:

Role: Community Member (Galaxy brain)
I like to explore how to achieve the same thing when I see something remarkable. I started my programming journey back in primary 5, a Web 1.0 age. I created my first essential HTML website with Microsoft Frontpage. I learned to build web forums in the Web 2.0 age. And I learned to build mobile apps when iPhone 4 was out. And now, it is time for me to upgrade myself again to Web 3.
Learning made me feel good. My way to learn is by doing, and now by teaching. I trained competitors for the World Skills competition; and launched an online tutorial channel to share programming knowledge.
And I was fortunate to know Project Galaxy. I have been a Galaxy Brain since December last year and love the atmosphere in this community. Members are very kind, helping each other with love and sharing knowledge selflessly. Because I am feeling so good in this community, I would like to further contribute with my skills. I have created the Galaxy Explorer and am very happy to see this tool being favoured by our community, this cannot be done without the comprehensive Galaxy API. Thanks Galaxy team for the great work and help. Project Galaxy is the mentor of my Web3 journey.
It is not easy to come across a good opportunity in our life, so I treasure it.

Name: Armin
TW Handle: @arminghasemazar
Role: Community Member (Pathfinder)
I’m a highly motivated and detail-oriented engineer at heart with solid academic background in computer science and 15+ years of internationally acknowledged hands-on work experience in energy sector, IoT development, and mathematical modeling/optimization.
I’ve found the underlying values of crypto & blockchain incredibly compelling when I entered that space back in 2017. I bought BTC at 13K & participated in multiple ICOs and not surprisingly I lost all my money at that time, I just didn’t know the rules of play. I’ve witnessed many ups and downs, which all have made more enthusiastic and perseverant. I never stopped learning since then and I must say crypto & blockchain is the future of new era to come.
Back in October 2021, I got to know the Project Galaxy, as the largest Web3 credential data network in the world. I told myself that this is what you need to invest your time and energy on, since it leverages credential data to build better products and communities. I am personally well versed in establishing a strong international interdisciplinary network with exploitation of the intercultural cooperation acting enthusiastically to achieve organizational as well as personal goals. But how? Rule of thumb. Making friends!
I’ve tried my best to help community and simultaneously learn as much as possible. Being awarded with Pathfinder role has made my commitment much stronger, so that I would like to continue contributing to Galaxy to shepherd its community towards more of concrete credential-driven applications. I’m optimistic we can make it happen!
Thanks to my extensive knowledge & experience being mod/ambassador in various projects and platforms, I’ve opened a good communication channel with Project Galaxy’s core team and we together have been working on couple of partnerships with other projects. I believe paving the road for projects to enter Project Galaxy’s massive credential world will still be my number one priority beside helping the community grow and be educated to the best of my ability.
The moment I was told that Project Galaxy has been working on its DAO and Treasury Multisigs, I had no doubt that acting in the best interest of the Project Galaxy DAO by having a spot as a wallet signer is the new area that must explore. I will be trying my best to maintain the community, evaluate proposals that are crucial to the long-term success of the development of Project Galaxy with diligence, and treat DAO’s treasury as mine and make Galaxy to have a more bright outlook for the entire community.

Role: Community Member (Nexus Mutual admin)
I discovered ProjectGalaxy in July-August 2021 when I was actively looking for a solution to launch a set of NFTs for the Nexus Mutual community. I received great help for ProjectGalaxy’s team and a few months later, in October 2021, I launched The Mutant Chronicles campaign on the platform. At the time, there were very few partners on ProjectGalaxy and it has been a real pleasure to see the platform grow to where it is today.
As of now, I am the admin of the Nexus Mutual Space on the platform, and have 1 or 2 more campaigns in preparation. I am also a user and participating in other campaigns such as Dr. Sol, and patiently waiting for The Arbitrum Odyssey.
Regarding my other commitments in the crypto space, I currently serve as : Nexus Mutual Community Fund multi-signature signer, where the community trusted me to be a signer. Investment Committee at Nexus Mutual, where we look at investment opportunities to earn the best risk-adjusted yield on our 160 000 ETH Capital Pool. To sum-up, I’ve been involved with Project Galaxy since almost a year now as a user and as a Long term Partner. I also believe to be trustworthy since I’ve already been elected as a multi-signature signer by the Nexus Mutual community. I look forward to contribute even more to the success of ProjectGalaxy.

Before entering crypto i finished College and worked in a small Web Studio, where I gained experience in basic Web Development. My crypto adventure started in 2021. I was active in few other communities before I got into Project Galaxy, I like to communicate with people so i got Pathfinder-kind of roles in those projects pretty fast. However, when i got involved in Project Galaxy i’ve fully switched my attention to it and learnt a lot about crypto and web3 and started helping out newcomers. I got Pathfinder role and then Galaxy Brain role. About a month ago in a preparation to TGE I’ve helped galaxy team to filter out and ban thousands of scam bots to keep the community safe and continue to do so. I am invested in Galaxy token both financially and mentally, because I do believe that Galaxy will take over the both crypto and NFT market, since many companies switch to web3 realising its potential.
Galaxy Team is a great example of hard work and visionary for me, and it would be an honour to be a part of something bigger, something that changes crypto industry. That is why I would like to nominate myself for multi-sig signers. It will be a pleasure for me, a dedicated Galaxy user, to work out and review proposals for best interests of Galaxy community members and holders.

I’m day-to-day busy with growing STEPN, but I certainly have spent a lot of time thinking about the product and what could it become. Since the inception of Project Galaxy, I’ve been sharing a lot of ideas to the team and hoping that one day Project Galaxy could be the future Web3 credential data network. Although we are still far from that future, we are definitely getting closer today than a year ago.
In the past, I’ve recorded quite a few podcasts with Harry Zhang, the cofounder of Project Galaxy, to discuss the vision of the project:
I wrote an article about my view of the future of Galaxy:
Here are more tweets I picked that I wrote over the past year about what the credential data network could unlock for people (I will add the links in the next post due to the forum restriction):
As I’m no longer part of the private investor of Project Galaxy, I would love to contribute to the project in another way.

Since then I have continued to help others in the Discord chat mainly in #support where many people came for help. And of course, I enjoy helping and chatting with Astronauts.
I believe I will be a good fit for the role because I give Project Galaxy a priority beyond anything else, which means when there’s a proposal, I will meticulously (in a way that pays careful attention to every detail, Oxford English Dictionary ) review every detail of the proposal to make sure that we are on the right path

Galaxy is a starting point for me to understand web3. Galaxy’s unique on-chain data interaction method makes me feel the friendliness and unique charm that distinguish it from other communities. Galaxy girl, cowboy, Dr. Sol, the updates of the series of tasks have allowed me to contact and learn more knowledge, and also let me see the vastness of the blockchain world. At the same time, the luckiest thing is that I have gained a lot of friends who have the same views, and they have brought me a lot of happy times.In my limited knowledge of the blockchain world, impatience is indeed the main reason for failure. I hope to see the world slowly build and progress, and I also hope to grow with the Project Galaxy. I would like to apply to be a member of the Galaxy Community Treasury and Multi-Signers, it will be my honor to hold on to my responsibilities and serve the Galaxy community.But honestly, if the job requires proficient English skills, then maybe I’m not up to it. .Of course, regardless of the outcome, I will strengthen language learning in 2022, which is in my plan, and I will continue to participate and support project galaxy.
