A highly deserving candidate for this role! The community loves ToxicWaifu!

Yes! ToxicWaifu has shown remarkable growth in her journey within Decentraland, actively participating as an event organizer. She has worked on projects like the 'Garden of Encounter,' an inclusive space for users across different platforms, and has contributed to creating innovative experiences in the metaverse. In addition, she has leveraged her social media presence to promote Decentraland, sharing daily experiences and maintaining a strong connection with the community. Her dedication to metaverse promotion through content creation and involvement in events makes her an ideal candidate for the council, always prioritizing open communication and building a participatory community.

We saw the personal growth of ToxicWaifu from the first time she took the microphone to speak, we saw the releases of her first wearables, we attended various of her events, she is a dedicated user who breathes Decentraland. A yes from me! Keep being yourself!

Hi Toxic! I am voting yes because you are an amazing builder, wearable creator, event planner, and fully engaged in Decentraland. With only 5 people, the right combination of people will be important. I feel that you getting us together for a public discussion is critically important. I know most of you but for something so important it would be great to know each other on a deeper level. Thanks!

**Application continues here...** A significant issue at the moment is that **too few people** actively use Decentraland, and even fewer take advantage of the DAO’s existing opportunities. This has led to the voices of a **handful of individuals** becoming disproportionately **loud**, **overshadowing** the needs of the **community** as a whole. The **unequal distribution of VP** further exacerbates this issue. I see myself as an engaged Decentraland user who hesitates to participate in DAO voting, and I know I am not alone. For myself and others like me, I want to **change** this **dynamic** with the tools and opportunities available to us. I would never presume to fully understand **every** user’s individual thoughts, feelings, and needs. However, I am **capable of listening** to many different voices, **recognizing patterns**, and understanding the **essence of their concerns**. I can distill these insights into meaningful input and bring them into the council’s discussions, ensuring they are represented effectively. I would see it as my **primary responsibility** as a DAO Council member to **actively inform** the community about what is happening within the council. Whether through participating in Twitter Spaces, engaging in conversations on Discord, or hosting discussions in-world, I would aim to ensure that **transparency** is **not just a principle** but an **active practice**. Openly communicating about ongoing developments and decisions, while prioritizing and channeling the community’s feedback into council discussions, would be my most important task and what I can offer as a council member. **Final Thoughts and My Vision for Decentraland’s Future** I am applying for a position on the DAO Council out of a **personal desire** to make the council as **open** and **transparent** as possible. My **goal** is to ensure **that dialogue flows both ways** -from the council to the community and back. My goals and values align with the mission of the DAO: **ensuring sustainability through governance**, **responsible resource management**, and **fostering technical innovation**. I aim to contribute to the long-term stability and growth of Decentraland, actively shaping the platform while staying true to these guiding principles, with a **particular focus** on **transparency** as the foundation for every action and decision I take. I am fully aware that I am **not the perfect candidate** to revolutionize the DAO. So far, I **haven’t contributed** much, for a variety of reasons. The feeling that my **voice doesn’t matter**, the **fear of being attacked** for my opinions, and the **concern that I might not make good decisions** have held me back from participating. In this area, I lack experience. But I can’t help but think of a very **famous quote** by Albert Einstein that we probably all know: “*Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results*.” Since it has been acknowledged and accepted as a fact that the ‘*old*’ **DAO has failed**, I believe it would be **unreasonable to expect** a council composed solely of individuals who emerged from that same structure **to create something entirely new** - something that won’t ultimately face the same problems. We need to try something entirely new. For this reason, I want to see **fresh blood** in the DAO Council - people who bring **new perspectives** and ideas to the table. That is why I am applying. **Final Thoughts and Summary** I bring experience across all the required fields and am confident that this makes me well-suited to **act as a bridge** between the DAO Council and the community. In summary: **Strategic Management & Business:** • **Degree** in **Marketing** and **Communication Management**, with a focus on **Strategic Marketing** • Over **10 years of experience as a Managing Director**, overseeing complex projects and strategic operations. • Proven track record of event and **project management** in Decentraland via Dogebusters. **Finance:** • Extensive experience in **financial planning**, **budgeting**, and **resource allocation** from managing a real estate agency. • Understanding of Decentraland’s **market dynamics** and **tokenomics**. **Creativity:** • Wearable **designer** and marketplace **seller**, combining creativity with practical outcomes. • Hosted **innovative events** like ‘TikTok Tuesday’ and interactive Dogecoin minting experiences. **Technology Awareness:** • **Insights** into Decentraland’s **technical infrastructure** gained through collaboration with developers. • **Awareness** of the **challenges builders face** and the ability to advocate for their needs. • Familiar with **blockchain technology** and **Web3 principles**. • **VP holder**, **wearable creator**, and **landowner**. **Community Building:** • Active **host and participant** in numerous Decentraland events. • Created weekly community engagement initiatives via ‘TikTok Tuesday’. • Skilled in **fostering inclusive spaces** and building **meaningful connections**. **Core Values:** • Committed to **transparency**, open **communication**, and **community-driven decision-making**. I am prepared to approach this role with **dedication**, **openness**, and a clear **commitment** to the DAO’s mission. I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to Decentraland’s future and to ensure the council operates transparently and **always in service to the community**. I am **fully aware of the significant challenge** I am taking on and am prepared to face it. If I ever find myself **unable to meet** either my own **expectations** or those of the community, I will not hesitate to **step down**. Thank you for reading, and if you have any questions, please feel free to ask them here. **To the community:** Please don’t vote for me just to do me a favor. Even if you vote against me, I won’t be sad or upset - no hard feelings! If you do vote for me, let it be because you believe in what I’ve written, what I stand for in Decentraland, and because you want to see that represented in the council. **Much love!** :purple_heart:
