**(Team) Name:** Gabriele Rigo, Rigoblock **Address or ENS:** 0x080f08076e8EAdC66006C3CbFEd28a34918A1fA6 **Discord username:** gabrigo | RigoBlock#6195 **I have read and agree to the 0x Protocol** [Security Council Code of Conduct](https://forum.0xprotocol.org/t/code-of-conduct-0x-protocol-security-council/3526): Yes **My skills and areas of expertise (as related to security):** Smart contracts development and testing; member of 0xEVE and signer of 0xEVE grants; 0x bootstrap delegate. I have known 0x since its inception, having built the first protocol\<\>protocol bridge on a fork of 0x in 2018 (the fork was necessary as 0x did not allow swapping tokens for smart contracts in its early days). I have a deep understanding of the 0x smart contracts, including the protocol, the staking system and the governance contracts. I have been actively providing feedback on the ongoing governance smart contracts as can be seen [in this thred](https://forum.0xprotocol.org/t/zeip-95-migrating-0x-protocol-to-on-chain-governance-process/3513/20). I have been managing substantial amount of assets on-chain and used to be a pretty active liquidity provider on the 0x open orderbook. **My process for evaluating security reports and decision making:** modular, well structured, well documented and fully tested code should be the basis of any serious project. I value transparency and low-profile overall. I believe information should be shared as transparently as possible and by taking care of the interests of the community first. In the context of decentralized governance, I believe a broad consensus should be reached off-chain before proceeding with the on-chain vote. In this context, I believe blockchain storage should be preserved and its usage minimized whenever possible. While I consider myself an innovator and value pushing the boundaries of technology, I also believe it is preferable to setting for a slightly less bleeding edge but more tested framework rather than navigating unchartered waters. In this context, I value re-usage of audited code, and the cooperation that only open-source code can produce. **Conflicts of Interests:** I am one of the community delegates, which gives me voting power in the ZRX governance. I will abstain for using my voting power to vote for my application. Also, I am a member of 0xEVE, which is not a conflicting position. I am the founder of Rigoblock, a protocol for on-chain asset management which is complementary to 0x, not a competitor or in a conflict of interest position. > **[DAO Profile on Tally](https://www.tally.xyz/profile/0x080f08076e8eadc66006c3cbfed28a34918a1fa6)** > > DAO memberships, votes and proposals from address 0x080f...1fA6 --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.0xprotocol.org/t/0x-protocol-security-council/3528)._
