Evan Kuo

Co‑founder and Chief Executive Officer · Ampleforth

Designed and executed the FORTH token launch, governance framework, and early on‑chain proposals affecting treasury and voting mechanics.

Oversaw the design and public execution of the FORTH governance token launch and the initial governance architecture that transferred decision‑making from the Ampleforth core team to token holders. Led the team that published the FORTH tokenomics, coordinated snapshot and airdrop mechanics for eligible addresses, and proposed the first governance modules that defined quorum, voting periods, and proposal lifecycle. These concrete actions determined who received governance power and how early treasury funds could be allocated, directly shaping network control and incentives. Managed subsequent on‑chain governance campaigns that ratified protocol parameter changes and treasury disbursements, including multi‑signer transitions and delegated voting arrangements. Decisions made under this leadership established precedents used by the DAO for vetting proposals and implementing upgrades. Participated in public communications and governance forums to shepherd contentious votes and to operationalize the transition from developer control to a token‑governed model. These steps materially affected FORTH’s governance value proposition and the legal and institutional framing of the token within decentralized decision‑making.
