Hello everyone and thank you all for joining us. We're still having a couple of people joining speakers. So we're about to get started and we will be discussing better voting

0:04:19 - 0:04:34

systems and especially shielded voting on snapshot by shutter today. So I am tethered, I am from the shutter team, I will be hosting today and we have

0:04:34 - 0:04:49

Also, Luis from the Scheller team, then we have Nathan and Zoo from Snapshot and we have Richard and Theo from the safe team joining us for these discussions.

0:04:50 - 0:05:08

So welcome everyone. Shutter is a project we have been working on creating threshold encryption. I distributed key generation mechanism initially for MEV protection, but then

0:05:08 - 0:05:26

is threshold encryption system has found other use cases, especially in governance and is now implemented on snapshot. And that's why we are now doing this space. And I will now hand it over to Nathan.

0:05:26 - 0:05:44

to introduce our own snapchat side. Thank you very much. Super happy to be here. This has been an integration we're really happy to have pushed through. It was quite complicated. A lot of movies

0:05:44 - 0:06:02

and now we're really proud of the results. So I'm Nathan, I'm the ecosystem leader at Snapshot. We have Zeus in the audience who's our developer relationship person. And yeah, it's been extremely good working together and can't wait to

0:06:02 - 0:06:20

You know, now that it's been a few weeks since shielded voting ask amounts talk about what went good, what didn't go so well as well and where we are standing right now. How shielded voting is for me a very very attractive proposition for those in the Ethereum ecosystem.

0:06:25 - 0:06:32

Thank you Nathan. And and Luis, can you do a little more introduction of yourself and
