Dear Ethena Community,
We are pleased to announce the reelection process for the Ethena Foundation Risk Committee. This presents a valuable opportunity for suitably skilled and qualified participants to join the governance and risk management efforts of the Ethena protocol.
Eligibility and Application
We invite all suitably skilled and qualified candidates to apply for a position. Candidates should demonstrate:
- Expertise in financial planning, investment management, risk management, or blockchain governance, and
- Alignment with the mission and values of the Ethena protocol; and
- No prior breaches of trust with any token community or conflicts of interest.
Current Committee Members
For the avoidance of doubt, the current Risk Committee members will automatically be added to the shortlist of candidates unless a member explicitly decides not to stand for reelection.
Application, Screening and Shortlisting Process
Participants must submit a formal application in the form of a comment on this post. The Ethena Foundation has determined that only entities are eligible to apply, and we will not accept applications from individuals in their personal capacity. Applying organizations must include the individual that will be primarily tasked with attending meetings for the organization. Information to be included with the application:

- A conflict-of-interest declaration.
Shortlisted applicants will be subject to screening and background checks, and the Foundation may request additional information as needed, this includes the nominated individual for the applying entity.
The Foundation will post a summary of shortlisted applicants that have passed the relevant screening and background checks on the Ethena Forum. This list will represent the candidates for whom ENA holders may cast their votes.
