GM Astar Community! I am Ezio Rojas, Community Member based in Venezuela (GMT -4) and I am opening this post for aplicate to the Community Council. **Relevant Qualifications & Experience** I have been in the crypto ecosystem since 2017, working in areas such as community, marketing, public relations, and governance. During my years of experience, I have worked at [Cointelegraph](https://es.cointelegraph.com/authors/ezio-rojas) and [BeInCrypto](https://es.beincrypto.com/author/eziorojas/) on marketing and research topics. From 2021 to the end of 2025, I have been involved with Polkadot from different angles. Between 2021 and 2024, I served as Community Manager for Latin America and Spain. In 2024, I served as curator of various bounties focused on events, business, and community in the Spanish-speaking world. Likewise, between 2024 and 2025, I was elected as a member of Polkadot’s Decentralized Voices governance program in different cohorts, being selected both [personally](https://medium.com/web3foundation/decentralized-voices-cohort-2-b10ddb7c71cc) and as a [member of DAO](https://medium.com/web3foundation/decentralized-voices-cohort-4-delegates-announced-a5a9c64927fd). **Track Record of Contributions** I have been directly involved in the Astar ecosystem since 2024, participating as a co-organizer of meetups and events in Latin America. For references, you can see the events I have participated in here: - Astar Network Meetup in Valencia y Caracas → [Link](https://forum.astar.network/t/astar-meetups-in-venezuela) - Astar Network Meetup in Maracay → [Link](https://forum.astar.network/t/astar-network-in-maracay-venezuela/6839/21?page=2) - Astar Network and Soneium Meetups in Venezuela and Colombia → [Link](https://forum.astar.network/t/soneium-meetups-in-colombia-venezuela) - Astar Network Buildathon in Cripto Latin Fest → [Link](https://forum.astar.network/t/sponsorship-and-activation-at-cripto-latin-fest-buildathon) **Motivation & Vision for Astar** I’m a firm believer in Astar’s long-term vision. My journey with the ecosystem began during the very first round of Polkadot parachain auctions, where I witnessed firsthand its potential to become a cornerstone of the Web3 landscape. Even in those early stages, it was clear that Astar wasn’t just another protocol; it stood out as a project with a unique corporate vision and a strategic business approach rarely seen in decentralized ecosystems. Rather than focusing on external growth alone, my commitment lies in upholding and advancing Astar’s mission through a professional and high-integrity approach. I aim to contribute by ensuring that every interaction and contribution is deeply aligned with Astar’s internal processes, fostering an environment of reliability and excellence that mirrors the project’s own enterprise-grade standards. For me, Astar represents a robust ecosystem where professional ethics and technological scalability meet to define the future of Web3. **Weekly Availability** I am willing and able to fulfill the role and perform the corresponding tasks efficiently. I have no obstacles or time constraints that would prevent me from performing the tasks necessary for the role. **Onchain Identity Verification** My [Substrate Address](https://portfolio.subscan.io/account/14Gn7SEmCgMX7Ukuppnw5TRjA7pao2HFpuJo39frB42tYLEh) is verified. I am in process of got the specific verification on my Astar Address. I would be pleased for serve the community and have your support. ---

Great to see more LATAM representation stepping up for the ACC. You’ve clearly got deep experience in governance + community building from Polkadot, and the event work across Venezuela/Colombia is a nice signal of real grassroots engagement vs just online advocacy. Also like that you’re framing the value less as hype and more as professionalism + process alignment, that fits well with where Astar’s moving (dApp staking, UCG, governance). Keen to see how your governance background translates into the operational parts of the role. 😎 ---

Happy to see your application to join the Community Council, @EzioRed. Your experience speaks for itself, and your contributions to Polkadot and Astar are worthy of recognition. I’ll let the rest of the community ask you questions, if any. ---

Great application with an impressive track record. I would like to better understand whether there are also more spontaneous, community-driven interactions. As far as I recall, all of these meetups were funded through the Astar Treasury. Is that correct? Are there examples of voluntary contributions or initiatives led independently by community members, without direct treasury sponsorship? ---

Hey @pitcoin777 thanks for your words and for your question. To address your points: It is correct that the major milestones I have shared were funded through the **Astar Treasury**. The scale and impact of these initiatives were possible precisely because of that financial backing. It is worth noting that, in differences instances, these funds were allocated **strictly for event execution costs** (logistics, venue, etc.), without including any personal monetary compensation for my role as an organizer. Beyond these large-scale projects, I have carried out other independent and spontaneous initiatives, such as: Collaborations for Spaces execution: Coordination to create X spaces (Twitter) with centralized exchanges where Astar Network was discussed. Ecosystem representation: promotion of Astar Network through informal talks and networking at Web3 events throughout Latin America. Although I have not officially documented these smaller contributions as “major milestones” due to their informal nature. ---

Dear Community Representative @Juminstock, in light of the new vacancy that has arisen on the Astar Community Council due to the resignation of one of its members ( [Stepping Down from the Astar Community Council - #4 by CJorgeSaez](https://forum.astar.network/t/stepping-down-from-the-astar-community-council/9440/4) ), I would like to propose that my application to become a member of the Council be reconsidered so that I may fill the vacancy that has opened up in the community. ---
