## Background 
As part of an ongoing effort to to incentivise neurons to verify proposals in depth, voting grants will be provided for candidates selected by the community. Overall, 2 candidates are selected for each of 4 proposal topics.
**This is one of multiple motion proposals submitted today to select these candidates**:  
- one NNS motion proposal is submitted for each candidate and topic for which the candidate applied  
- for each proposal, the result is computed as the number of YES minus the number of no votes (#YES-#NO) 
- for each topic, the 2 candidates with the highest results get the grants  

You can read more about the motivation and the process [here](https://forum.dfinity.org/t/grants-for-voting-neurons/32721).

## Proposal Topic
Protocol Canister Management, Participant Management & Node Admin, Subnet management

## Is this a team grant application?

## [Application Text](https://forum.dfinity.org/t/grants-for-voting-neurons/32721/77)
Hello, IC Community. I hope everyone had a restful and enjoyable weekend.

* We want to apply for the Protocol Canister Management, Participant Management & Node Admin, and Subnet Management topics.

* Not applying for a team grant.
* My name is Zohaib from Aegis Finance. My accounts are [GitHub](https://github.com/mzurs), [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/muhammad-z-33002a1b5/), and [X](https://x.com/zohaib__29).
* Our team consists of two devs (me and [Kashif](https://forum.dfinity.org/u/0x4d5a/summary)).
* I have done my Bachelors in Computer Science. I have 4 years of experience as a Software Engineer and 2 years of experience as a Blockchain Analyst.
* To demonstrate our technical expertise in Internet Computer (IC) development, we present [InheritX](https://kii7z-gaaaa-aaaal-adhwa-cai.icp0.io/), an application built under the AegisFinance umbrella. Currently live on the IC Mainnet, InheritX serves as a testament to our capabilities. Our team is actively developing additional features for AegisFinance, including an Insurance Contract (anticipated mid-August), an Options Contract, and a ready-to-deploy Staking module. We are committed to expanding the platform’s functionality.
* As a software developer with years of experience building on the Internet Computer, I am eager to contribute to governance discussions and initiatives. I aspire to become a Known Neuron named Aegis Finance.
* Evaluation of governance proposals necessitates substantial time and resources to ensure informed decision-making. Securing the grant would enable us to allocate additional hours exclusively to governance matters.
* Based on my experience as a Blockchain Analyst, ICP demonstrates significant potential to rival traditional infrastructures. As such, I advocate for the utilization of ICP as the foundational platform for developing decentralized, sustainable businesses and real-world applications.
* I am keen to contribute to these topics due to their critical role in shaping the ICP ecosystem’s growth and security. My experience directly aligns with these areas, enabling me to make informed and responsible voting decisions.
* I have expressed my intention to persist in governance-related activities post-grant. My decision to participate in the voting process is directly influenced by the interests of our followers.
* My voting principles emphasize transparency where all governance processes and decision-making within the DAO are transparent and inclusivity by encouraging active participation from all members of the DAO, ensuring that every voice is heard and every vote counts.
