Hi,
My name is Kevin Owocki; I am the founder of Gitcoin.co -- a dapp built on the Ethereum network.
As you know, the Ethereum gas fees have gone very high over the last several days. According to several sources in the ecosystem, the root cause of this phenomenon is the promotion you are running to get tokens listed on your exchange ( https://twitter.com/MyCrypto/status/1014270468046479360 ).
I would like to ask that you please move your voting mechanism off chain. You are clogging up the Ethereum mainnet for utility dapps that rely on the efficiency of the Ethereum network being high.
In the past, actors like CryptoKitties have hit an inflection point when they have clogged the Ethereum network and have worked with core devs and the community to unclog the network. I hope you follow their precedent.
Best,
Kevin Owocki
