Personal Statement As Stacks blockchain grows, more and more stakeholders are involved and impacted. In order for the continuation of growth and making protocol improvements (via SIP = Stacks Improvement Proposal) in a good faith, fair, just and sustainable manner that preserves the ethos of decentralization, inclusive discussion and collective decision-making are critical.
During the residency, I would like to work on facilitating and encouraging more contributions to the core Stacks blockchain from the wider community. By supporting SIP authors, helping them to take their proposals from an idea to a fully-scoped SIP and corresponding implementation.
With my passion for community bottom up voice, decentralization, Stacks and Bitcoin, I believe I will be able to facilitate the scaling of the SIP process with the right ethos and value.
End Product
- Facilitated a number of fully-scoped and well-formed SIPs
- Community funneling process for proposals that will be formalized as a governance SIP
- Streamline the SIP process
- Building a strong team of contributors such as SIP Editors, CABs, etc
- Metrics/KPIs to track the health of SIP process participation
- Documentation and educational content about SIP
- Adding improvements to SIP activation procedure
Roadmap Q3 2022: Major focuses will be accessibility & scaling, which would include projects like
- Creating SIP-focused threads/spaces on the forum for community members to discuss SIP ideas Hosting weekly SIP community calls to facilitate a safe and friendly space for community members to brainstorm, share, and rally support around SIP ideas
- Recruiting 1–2 SIP editors to help with staying up to date on SIP activity and encouraging/identifying new SIP ideas Work with the Foundation team to fill out CABs + start developing standardized operating procedures to help CABs review SIPs more easily and consistently
- Start recruiting technical mentors and steering committee members
- Ongoing updating + organizing of SIP documentation; developing punchier/more accessible content that helps explain SIPs and the SIP process
Q4 2022: Major focuses will be continued scaling & formalizing SIP-related decision-making processes, which would include projects like
- Working with the Foundation team and others in the community on tools/solutions for facilitating SIP voting, e.g. Mike & Marvin’s EcosystemDAO

Thank you kindly! Feel free to leave any feedback/comments, hope yall support my candidacy!
I'm not familiar with this project but you may want to escape the @ mentions in your post here as I don't think they were necessarily meant for GitHub users (I was pinged due to the inclusion of my GitHub username)
@Hero-Gamer this is great news! Excited to see you getting more involved and enjoyed the presentation today.
To the point of shannon above - the @ mentions on GitHub are not the same as Discord, which makes it fun when trying to find and include everyone.
If you want to put the Discord user names in a GitHub issue, you can escape them with back ticks (top-left of the keyboard usually, to the left of #1: ``
Anything you put between the back ticks is then shown as code, which won't tag people like @whoabuddy unless you meant to. :slightly_smiling_face:
Awesome to see! Think it would be helpful to add resources to revamping the SIP process. +1 to @Hero-Gamer being a super active Stacks community member and great potential candidate for this. 🚀
Plus 100 for me! I have enjoyed working with @Hero-Gamer in the Advocates community. He is a thoughtful, well-spoken, creative, collaborative contributor!
@Hero-Gamer is perfect for this role. He can explain technical subjects to the community in a easy-to-understand language, with consistency and passion. Stacks is lucky to have @Hero-Gamer taking on this challenge.
+1 absolutey vouch for Hero he's been a great help and a value aligned community member
I would love to see Hero in this role I definitely see him delivering on the goals of this residency.
I too can also vouch for Hero Gamer. Over the last 6 months or more I have interacted with him many times while giving support to STX users both generally and on specific projects. Additionally he has proactively raised issues with both Foundation and Hiro to aid in technological progression of the ecosystem. I view this grant as an expansion and continuation of those efforts.
Nothing would change for me, I already see him everywhere anyways 😉 "The hero that we need" +1

Great job! GO HERO , GO!
The development of communities like this appears to expand upon potentiol needs within the community. While Hero Gamer and many others are building this community in various way, I think there is a benefit to the introduction and potentiol direction of this concept to the community with various potentiol direction and interconnections it could allow within the community itself. I wish Hero_gamer luck on the roadmap for this project

Quick application update: This residency has been approved and the contract is currently in process.
:pencil2: In an effort to provide my own "accountability report" for the whole Stacks community: Here I lay out:
:pushpin: Top level achievement in Q3 made:
- Q3 Stacks Improvement Proposal (SIP) efforts
- Grew Consideration Advisory Boards (CABs) members from 5 people to 23 people
- 3 CABs activated ready to review SIPs
- Added 2 Steering Committee members
- Over 250 live attendance to SIP calls
- Over 300 Youtube views of SIP calls
- Held 14 weekly SIP calls continuously
- Ratified SIP-016: Metadata for Tokens
:interrobang: Did I meet the Q3 plan set out?
| plan | actual outcome |
|---|---|
| 1. SIP-focused threads/spaces on the forum | :heavy_check_mark: Many threads created on Stacks Forum for SIP discussion https://forum.stacks.org/c/sip/weekly-sip-call/68 |
| 2. Hosting weekly SIP community calls | :heavy_check_mark: weekly call held non-stop, same time same place Friday 11am ET |
| 3. Recruiting 1–2 SIP editors | :heavy_check_mark: currently I've have found 7 people willing to be SIP Editor. in Q4 will give it better structure and integrate into SIP process fuller (active them properly) |
| 4. Fill out CABs & establish procedures | :heavy_check_mark: Filled CABs. Activated 3 CABs with 17 members. 2 other CABs on advisory capacity on standby ready to support any other CABs |
| 5. recruiting technical mentors | :heavy_check_mark: Found 1 so far, will continue to search for more in Q4 as part of the bigger goals of allowing more contributors join easily into the blockchain development process |
| 6. recruiting steering committee members | :heavy_check_mark: Found 1 additional SC member, Gina. Found Marvin who is willing to be part of SC too. Onboarding Marvin soon |
| 7. SIP documentation | :heavy_minus_sign: Started writing some blogs e.g. how to become a CAB memeber https://app.sigle.io/herogamer.id.stx/sz6Sy0cV--XsWDBYQQ_Dq Many videos available. But I think in this area I can do a lot more improvement in terms of making docs with more easy to see graphics. Can be part of Q4 plan |
| Result: | If I have to be harsh to myself, I think I met 6 out of 7 goals set ou. If I'm kinder to myself I think I achieved 6.5 out of 7. |
- I'd love to hear your feedback how you think I've done. Any improvement ideas, feedback or criticism all welcome, I can better server the Stacks community.
- If you prefer to leave anonymous feedback, I created a Blocksurvey form: https://blocksurvey.io/survey/1Gjc5RagBTswPvh7dvK7NUifGmP2wDANY9/8e69ec93-8308-4a97-84d3-a9b30abefaad/r/o
- My current focus is to build and drive Stacks 2.1 (SIP-015) Voting with the devs and market teams
- Once it's in a good place, will shift my focus to creating the support system for SIP Editors, Technical Mentors, etc. Any support system needed to drive high quality SIP generation from the community & greater core blockchain contributors.
Kind regards, HeroGamer
This is a great report @Hero-Gamer. Thank you! Your organization, coordination, recruiting, and general helpfulness have been extremely beneficial to the Stacks community!
@Hero-Gamer is insanely active and positive within the community. That is a big big deal because more builders can become attracted to and graft onto Stacks as a function of that. So far really like what I've seen at least from whats visible on Twitter.
Amazing update @Hero-Gamer , ty kindly for all the support in the Gov Cab & tirelessly discovering paths to incorporate community in these important SIP processes 🔥 🔥 🔥
Thanks @Hero-Gamer for adding structure and visibility to the SIP Process. Your work has been highly valuable in reinforcing and recruiting for CABs, SIP Editors, and the SC which all lead to a productive and accessible governance process for Stacks. Keep up the great work!!
