## From Our Clients

### Sought out by leaders across DeFi

**Kirk**  
Governance Lead, Morpho  
Having followed [Gauntlet’s](https://x.com/OneTrueKirk/status/1859709734712185150) work for a long time, I highly recommend them for MORPHO holders looking to delegate. Likely the most battle-tested risk manager in DeFi, and with experience and connections that will help the DAO succeed in its ambitions.

**Erin Koen**  
Governance Lead, Uniswap Foundation  
Being able to say, "this feels like something I should ask [Gauntlet](https://x.com/eek637/status/1761157766658273670)," is a superpower.

## What We Offer

### Guidance and advocacy for proposals that advance decentralized governance

#### Expertise on every governance model

We actively serve as delegates to DAOs for a range of governance models. Among these: delegates backed by the DAO directly, security councils, and council-run governance.

#### Experience in the room with you

Reaching consensus for the most influential protocols in DeFi can be complex. Every stakeholder has a unique consideration to add.

We've been hired by DAOs and advising protocols since 2018, before DeFi was a commonly used term.

#### Unmatched track record

We work with a variety of stakeholders including paid delegations, blockchain clubs, investors, core teams, founders, and foundations.
