This proposal is very interesting, more efficient treasury management for Arbitrum DAO by enabling stablecoin borrowing against ARB assets without liquidation risks. It enhances financial flexibility for grants, investments, and operations, ensuring access to capital while preserving ARB value. The research, development, and audit phases ensure robust, secure implementation, ultimately benefiting the DAO with diversified funding options.
Pilot Phase: M&A for Arbitrum DAO
The pilot phase for Arbitrum DAO’s M&A unit is essential for informed decision-making, offering strategic analysis and stakeholder alignment without significant upfront costs. This 8-week trial by experienced M&A professionals will provide valuable insights, minimizing risks and ensuring the DAO is well-prepared to leverage M&A for ecosystem growth and competitive advantage.
Kwenta x Perennial: Arbitrum Onboarding Incentives (UPDATED)
Viewing it as vital for Arbitrum’s growth, we approve the funding, akin to our stance on the Curve proposal. Efforts to incorporate delegate feedback are appreciated. Our concern lies in user retention post-incentive program, but we anticipate continued development of Arbitrum native products and ongoing multi-chain strategy improvements.
AIP: BOLD - permissionless validation for Arbitrum
BOLD allows for permissionless validation, removing the reliance on a permissioned set of validators and enhancing decentralization. It also fixes the challenge period, preventing delay attacks and ensuring timely dispute resolution. These improvements benefit all Arbitrum users, node operators, dApps, and bridges.
AIP: Funds to bootstrap the first BoLD validator
This proposal ensures the Arbitrum network’s security and functionality by funding the first BoLD validator. It leverages the Arbitrum Foundation’s resources to kickstart the process, minimizing risk and setting a precedent for other validators. The DAO retains control over the funds, ensuring transparency and accountability. This foundational step fosters network stability and encourages further participation.
[Non-Constitutional] Pilot Phase: Arbitrum Venture Initiative
This proposal leverages extensive community feedback and expert input to create a robust strategy for the Arbitrum Venture Initiative (AVI). It addresses key pain points in venture development, providing a pilot phase to refine investment strategies, engage stakeholders, and ensure thorough analysis. The proposed pilot ensures a well-informed, efficient launch, maximizing strategic value and long-term impact for the Arbitrum ecosystem.
Proposal [Non-Constitutional]: Defending Open Source: A United Stand for Developer Rights and Software Freedom
What inspired you to propose the ArbitrumDAO’s contribution to DEF and Coin Center for supporting software developers’ rights and the right to privacy?
ARB is for the people
What inspired the Boopers to propose the quarterly purchase of BOOP, and how do they envision this action will reshape the Arbitrum DAO and its community dynamics?
Betting on Builders: Infinite Launchpad Proposal
Its broad approach could dilute focus and resources, leading to inefficient capital allocation. The lack of immediate funding for all programs and reliance on strict oversight might slow progress. Additionally, the ambitious scope risks overextending Arbitrum’s strategic priorities and could complicate execution.
ARB Staking: Unlock ARB Utility and Align Governance
Sounds interesting… This mechanism not only rewards stakeholders but also addresses the issue of declining voter participation, thereby strengthening the DAO’s defense against potential attacks and promoting long-term ecosystem health.
Improving Predictability in Arbitrum DAO’s Operations
Agree on setting a regular voting schedule and implementing a holiday break,
it ensures more effective participation and prevents burnout.
Additionally, the delegate approval process can enhance proposal quality, fostering a more organized and efficient governance system without incurring any costs.
Improving Predictability in Arbitrum DAO’s Operations
Good idea @ GFXlabs because it enhances the governance process by using visual cues and incentives to ensure compliance with the voting calendar. Brightly colored banners and non-recognition of off-schedule proposals help delegates manage their workload effectively, maintaining order and predictability in the voting process without requiring complex enforcement mechanisms.
Constitutional AIP: Proposal to adopt Timeboost, a new transaction ordering policy
I believe the adoption of Timeboost is a beneficial move for Arbitrum, as it not only addresses MEV-related challenges but also creates a sustainable revenue stream for the DAO. I agree with @ cp0x suggestion to distribute ARB proceeds to stakers, which fosters community engagement and aligns incentives without reducing the ARB supply through burning.

Entropy Advisors: Exclusively Working With Arbitrum DAO
The high budget of $2.791M and additional potential bonuses raise concerns about cost-effectiveness and necessity. The lack of clear metrics for success and detailed accountability mechanisms makes it challenging to fully endorse the significant financial commitment required. 
Adjusting Arbitrum’s Gas Fees
Supporting this proposal is wise as it promptly addresses the immediate revenue decline by adjusting the L2 base fee while laying the groundwork for a flexible, long-term solution. This dual approach secures essential ETH inflow, sustains Arbitrum’s competitive edge, and ensures the DAO’s economic stability and adaptability in an ever-changing market environment.
Jumpstart fund for DAO improvement
This proposal seems unnecessary because the DAO already has established processes for funding proposals and addressing operational challenges. The added complexity of a pilot fund and problem-gathering exercise appears redundant. The existing mechanisms should be sufficient to identify and prioritize issues without the need for an additional layer of bureaucracy and funding allocation.
Temperature Check: Change Arbitrum Expansion Program to allow deployments of new Orbit chains on any blockchain
I support this proposal because it expands the Arbitrum Expansion Program beyond Ethereum, allowing projects to deploy Orbit chains on other networks. This can significantly increase revenue for ArbitrumDAO, enhance EVM and Stylus dominance, and provide greater flexibility for developers. The expansion addresses industry demand and supports Arbitrum’s growth and adaptability in a competitive landscape.
ArbitrumDAO Off-site - Directional proposal
I support this proposal as it aims to enhance communication and collaboration among DAO delegates through a dedicated off-site event. By focusing on strategic alignment and problem-solving, it addresses current inefficiencies, leading to cohesive strategies and faster decision-making. The structured agenda and professional facilitation ensure effective use of time, generating actionable outcomes and increased participant engagement.
August 2024
[RFC] ArbitrumDAO Governance Analytics Dashboard
This proposal is a smart investment in ArbitrumDAO’s future. By creating a dedicated analytics dashboard, it offers a practical tool for better governance, ensuring decisions are backed by clear, actionable data. This approach not only strengthens transparency but also helps the community stay ahead of potential issues, making it a valuable step towards more effective and resilient governance.
Should the DAO Default to using Shielded Voting for Snapshot Votes?
I vote For all Snapshot Votes. Shielded voting enhances governance integrity by minimizing bandwagon effects, voter apathy, and last-minute strategic voting. By keeping votes private until the end, it ensures decisions are based on genuine opinions rather than external pressures. This approach promotes more thoughtful and unbiased participation, crucial for effective and fair governance.
Proposal to Temporary Extend Delegate Incentive System.
VOTED for.
Extending the current Delegate Incentive System is a prudent move to ensure continuity and avoid gaps in delegate motivation while transitioning to v1.1. This extension prevents disruption in incentives and maintains engagement, crucial for effective governance. The proposal supports stability and allows adequate time for refining the new system, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted evolution of the incentive structure.
Strategic Treasury Management on Arbitrum
Implementing the Arbitrum Strategic Treasury Management Group is a proactive approach to ensuring the DAO’s long-term sustainability and growth. Allocating 250M ARB to a specialized group using advanced non-custodial tools, the proposal enhances transparency, accountability, and effective resource management.
Should the DAO Create COI & Self Voting Policies?
I agree with the “FOR: Responsible Voting Policy” vote as it balances ethical governance with practical delegation needs. Maintaining trust while allowing effective representation is crucial. Exploring tools to automate conflict of interest disclosures is an excellent idea. It would streamline transparency, making it easier for delegates to manage and disclose potential conflicts, thus enhancing overall governance integrity.
[RFC] Incentives Detox Proposal
I think this is a good idea because it emphasizes the importance of taking a step back to analyze past incentive programs before launching new ones. This ensures future incentives are data-driven, impactful, and sustainable.
[RFC] Fund The Stylus Sprint
The “Stylus Sprint” program is a strategic initiative that accelerates the adoption of Stylus, enhancing Arbitrum’s ecosystem by incentivizing high-quality smart contract development. By offering financial support to pioneering teams, this proposal not only attracts top-tier talent but also positions Arbitrum as a leader in innovation, fostering long-term growth and competitiveness in the Web3 space.
Arbitrum side workshop at web3 Lagos Conference 3.0 2024
This proposal offers a valuable opportunity to boost Arbitrum’s presence in Africa by engaging directly with a key developer community. The Web3 Lagos conference is strategically significant, and the workshops can cultivate new contributors to the Arbitrum ecosystem. However, given the short timeline, it’s crucial to first gauge community support and ensure the initiative aligns with broader DAO goals.
Ethereum Protocol Attackathon Sponsorship
This large-scale security audit is crucial for reinforcing Ethereum’s security, which directly benefits Arbitrum as a Layer 2 solution.
I just have one question @ rodrigolvc , How will Arbitrum’s sponsorship visibility and engagement be measured and reported?
Ethereum Protocol Attackathon Sponsorship
Excellent! As a recommendation, there are tools like Hootsuite and HubSpot that can help you track the reach of the channels you’re using to distribute content. Another very useful tool is Meta Business from Facebook and Instagram. If you’ll be sending mass emails, you could use Mailchimp to check who opens the emails, allowing you to target more interested recipients with specific advertising. If you need help or advice with this, I can assist you. 
RFC - Delegate Incentive Program v1.1
This continuity ensures that delegates can maintain long-term engagement, which is crucial for the sustained health of decentralized governance. The proposed budget appears well-calculated, and the increase in monthly compensation for delegates is not only justified but necessary, particularly in light of the significant 65% year-to-date decline in the value of ARB.
The introduction of bonus points for participating in governance calls is a particularly commendable enhancement. Active participation in these calls often leads to deeper discussions and more nuanced understanding of proposals, which in turn fosters more informed and thoughtful voting.
I am highly supportive of this proposal, as it reflects a thoughtful approach to maintaining and enhancing the incentives for active, informed participation in governance, which is essential for the success and resilience of the ecosystem.
@ SEEDGov It would be great if delegates could meet in a XSpaces (Twitter) session to discuss the most relevant aspects of the ARB ecosystem and generate more proposals, not just in writing.
Proposal: Low-cost Enhancement to HyperLiquid Integration
How will this rebranding affect other applications or projects currently using Arbitrum that are not related to Hyperliquid? Could this shift in identity alienate or discourage those other users?
[RFC] Pyth Network Arbitrum LTIPP Extension Request
Hi @ KemarTiti How does this extension align with the long-term vision for Pyth Network on Arbitrum? Are there other strategic initiatives you’re considering to further integrate Pyth within the Arbitrum ecosystem?
[RFC] Pyth Network Arbitrum LTIPP Extension Request
Thanks for the quick response @ KemarTiti
The initial LTIPP program’s success is evident in the increased metrics and enhanced price feed availability. I think extending the program will undoubtedly build on this momentum and solidify Arbitrum’s position in DeFi. I trust the Pyth Network to continue driving this growth effectively.
September 2024
Arbitrum DAO Procurement Committee: Phase II Proposal
I will be voted for because this proposal is ideal to simplify communication about the ADPC through clear summaries and promote it on social media. This would increase community understanding and participation. Additionally, greater flexibility in budgeting would allow adaptation to new opportunities, enhancing efficiency in the long term.
Enhancing Multichain Governance: Upgrading RARI Governance Token on Arbitrum
I believe this is a strong move for both ecosystems, as it not only reduces governance costs but also fosters collaboration between two innovative networks but, @ Janabe could you clarify how the custom gateway implementation will affect the user experience, especially for those unfamiliar with bridging tokens? 
[RFC] Synthetix LTIP Grant Extension Request
I abstain because while the extension seems beneficial, it introduces concerns about fairness to other protocols without similar opportunities. The lack of a streamlined process for handling delays makes it difficult to confidently support this specific request.
RFC: Gyroscope LTIPP Grant Extension Request
I support this proposal since LTIPP has shown good results. As long as Gyroscope stays within budget, I see no reason not to back this initiative. I just have one question… What happens if some integrations fail to complete during this extension?
RFC: Aave DAO LTIPP Grant Extension Request
Seems reasonable as it allows them more time to distribute the remaining ARB tokens, which were delayed due to technical issues. But how will they ensure future delays won’t impact distribution? What contingency plans are in place for further setbacks?
Non-Constitutional: Terms of Tenure for STEP Program Manager
Exactly, I was a bit confused when voting on Snapshot too. Listing the bullet points might give us a clearer idea of how to vote, especially since there are new users in the forum each time. That said, I think I would vote in the following order:
- Additional funds for one year
- 6 months from available funds
- New election at $86,581 each year
- Liquidation of RWAs and STEP program
- Abstain
GovHack Devcon in Bangkok - Hack Humanity
I believe it’s a good idea the number of events per year, as it will help strengthening the team by creating a more united community. Also, the inclusive participation through voting by experienced individuals will ensure the right representatives are chosen. I would also like to highlight the importance of broadcasting these events online for those unable to attend and to keep everyone updated on new developments.
[Non-Constitutional] Funds to Bolster Foundation’s Strategic Partnerships Budget
I’ll abstain my vote. I’m particularly concerned about the significant budget allocation to gaming, which seems disproportionate compared to DeFi & Fintech. Additionally, the description of the “Others” section leaves room for doubt, needing more clarity.
Arbitrum Offsite format: online vs IRL
This is how I voted on Snapshot:
I think it’s a good idea to meet the team IRL on dates that don’t interfere with most people’s work/activities. It could be organized through a vote three months in advance to make it fair. I know you currently hold online calls, and I’d like to stay informed to learn more about the Arbitrum ecosystem and the people behind the projects. How can I stay updated on these online calls?
Arbitrum DAO Procurement Committee: Phase II Proposal
I’ll be voting in favor of extending the ADPC’s role into Phase II on Tally and Snapshot.
Their achievements in Phase I, including cost savings and setting up procurement frameworks, have demonstrated their effectiveness. The Phase II strategy is well-planned, with a clear and transparent budget.
AIP: Whitelist Infura Nova Validator
I believe it’s positive that Infura has been added to the whitelist, as it’s a reliable provider in the industry. However, are there any risks in over-relying on Infura’s infrastructure? I would like to wait and see what the majority thinks before voting.
Research on context and retention
I’m definitely voting in favor of this one!
TogetherCrew’s solid history with other DAOs and the fact that experienced researchers are on board, it just makes the whole thing even better.
@ danielo consider sharing regular updates on your progress so the community stays informed!
An EIP-4824 powered daoURI for Arbitrum DAO
I vote in favor of this proposal. @ amanwithwings I appreciate that it was done correctly in the “Proposal” section using the usual process. I believe it will help us gather all the necessary information to make a more informed decision.
October 2024
zkFetch has a good track record, and I don’t see why it wouldn’t be a good idea to integrate it.
The initial $62,000 for development, testing, documentation, marketing, and data integration seems well-allocated. However, the $10,000 monthly cost for API subscriptions and maintenance could become challenging if additional funding or stable income aren’t secured. Ensuring the platform gains enough traction to justify these ongoing expenses will be key to sustaining it long-term.
Unifying Arbitrum’s Mission, Vision, Purpose (MVP)
Thanks to Entropy for elaborate and Castlecap for review this exercise on Unifying Arbitrum DAO’s Vision, Mission, and Goals - #5 by CastleCapital.I’m in favor of the proposal. I believe the phased approach sets a clear path for Arbitrum DAO (ADA) to develop shared, flexible strategic goals that can keep up with market trends and tech demands.Also, the focus on financial sustainability is key for ADA to remain competitive and aligned with the ecosystem’s long-term needs. You also mention the potential to build a strong and coherent identity for ADA, which is crucial for attracting new developers and strengthening the community. This level of clarity and purpose offers a competitive edge over other rollup projects, solidifying Arbitrum as a leader in scalability and decentralization within the blockchain space.I only have one question: What will be the process for adjusting or reevaluating ADA’s long-term goals if there are major shifts in the market or technology?
Dedicated DAO Contributors: Enhancing live initiatives and driving key workstream
I like that the operations plan includes updates, bi-weekly check-ins, reports, and testing for ongoing process improvements. Following this routine will give us solid results, enabling quicker decision-making through constant monitoring. The project stages over six months are well-defined, and I think that’s a good timeframe to see real progress. I believe that with Alex and Joe’s experience, along with Entropy, things will be done right.
I’d just like to know if this is a updated version or a different proposal from the one Joe made a couple of weeks ago, requesting a 200K budget also for 6 months?
[Non-Constitutional] Turbocharge Arbitrum DAO offchain governance
I support this proposal. I believe it’s a relatively low-cost expense that holds significant value, as it’s a tool we use daily. Being on this plan will also help maintain our positioning on the platform (Snapshot).
[Non-Constitutional] Arbitrum DAO Delegate Code of Conduct + Formalizing the DAO’s Operations
I agree with this proposal. It is essential to have a code of conduct for such an important position. If possible, there should be different versions that are updated so that delegates do not forget Arbitrum’s values and the significant responsibility we have.
I believe it’s important to identify the area of expertise of the delegate, perhaps by visually displaying their badges without needing to enter their profile. Something that would be visually appealing for the proposal creator or someone reviewing a proposal for the first time would be to see how valuable their comments have been throughout their time in the forum. This would help filter out the most relevant comments from those that are not.
[Non-Constitutional] Arbitrum Token Swap Pilot Program
I vote against the proposal because it limits participation to projects already on Arbitrum.
A thorough review of the program’s structure is necessary to ensure it maximizes strategic advantages, not just financial ones, thereby strengthening Arbitrum’s overall ecosystem and future growth.
[NON-CONSTITUTIONAL] - Arbitrum Research and Development Collective [Term 2]
I just cast my vote: Voted 100% in favor of the 1.73M USDC + Council option… the least financial risk among the suggested alternatives, enabling the DAO to evaluate the effectiveness of ARDC V2 before committing to larger budgets.
[RFC] Arbitrum as the Home of Builders - embracing Chain Abstraction
Great proposal!
Right now, the lack of a smooth cross-chain experience is holding back both developers and users, splitting liquidity and making our ecosystem look weaker compared to other rollup options like Optimism. I think it’s important that the proposal not only focuses on interoperability but also lays out a clear strategy for communicating the perks of using Orbit chains so everyone gets it. With cool new features like ‘Fast Withdrawals,’ ‘Enable Clusters,’ and ‘Layer Leap,’ we’re heading toward a more user-friendly ecosystem. Just one suggestion: adding more details about incentives for developers and users would really help drive adoption of these new tools.
[NON-CONSTITUTIONAL] - Arbitrum Research and Development Collective [Term 2]
First, the introduction of a retainer model for members seems like a positive step towards aligning incentives, but there is a risk that this could lead to inefficiencies if expectations regarding time and deliverables are not managed properly. I recommend implementing clear metrics to assess performance, which would strengthen accountability and maximize value for the DAO. Second, the inclusion of an Optimistic Governance Module is intriguing, but its implementation might require more clarity. How will bureaucratic bottlenecks be mitigated, and what will the veto process look like if proposals initially face no objections? I think this aspect needs more detail to ensure effectiveness in distributed governance environments.
[Non-Constitutional] Treasury Management v1.2
It would be useful to more explicitly establish performance metrics and accountability mechanisms. Otherwise, there is a risk that these committees may operate without effective oversight, which could lead to problems in the future. Additionally, the plan to reinvest sequencer revenues seems promising, but it would be beneficial to have greater transparency regarding the specific strategies that could be adopted to ensure the security of the funds and mitigate risks.Given the current state of ARB token liquidity, how is the plan to convert 15M ARB to stablecoins anticipated to affect relationships with service providers and the overall growth of the Arbitrum ecosystem?
[Non-Constitutional] Arbitrum Token Swap Pilot Program
Instead of focusing exclusively on projects already on Arbitrum, including protocols that joined later, like Aave, would expand the program’s reach and potential. Additionally, implementing mechanisms to ensure the long-term commitment of participating projects is crucial. Lastly, the program’s structure should be reviewed to ensure that strategic, not just financial, benefits are maximized for Arbitrum.
Boosting DAO Efficiency by 10x: Aligning Accountability & Increasing Throughput
Thank you for addressing most of the comments @ DisruptionJoe . I think it’s now clearer how you and Alex will collaborate. From my short experience as a delegate, I’ve noticed your consistent activity, and knowing you’ve already worked with Entropy gives us even more confidence that the processes will run smoothly. We would appreciate @ AlexLumley participation in this proposal to bring another angle and complement each other. I also think six months could be a good start to see results, measure them, and keep giving your best to the ecosystem. I look forward to the new proposal on Tally to make a final decision.
Arbitrum Offsite format: online vs IRL
This is looking even better! Doing it live with quick, real-time interaction will definitely make things more dynamic with synchronous (live). Hopefully, there’ll be a chance for an in-person event down the road to bring the community even closer. I hope for a positive outcome for all the events, and that both have the space to reach the largest and best audience possible.
Establishing a DAO Events Budget for 2025
Nice proposal.Setting aside funds for events helps Arbitrum stay active in the most important crypto spaces, which keeps the community growing and engaged. I also believe, that involving the AF and OCL helps unify the community and prevents conflicting events. It really brings people together and keeps everyone on the same page, which makes the Arbitrum community way stronger. @ Entropy I appreciate you keeping us updated on any changes.
Proposal - Delegate Incentive Program (DIP)
I vote in favor of this new program. I believe that the parameters proposed in the “Delegates Feedback” rubric are fair and will result in helpful feedback, which will ultimately add value to ARB. As a participant in the program, I hope the new phase starts with patience and have good results.
November 2024
Partner with ETH Bucharest 2025 - Eastern Europe’s Leading Ethereum Conference and Hackathon
Thanks for putting this forward. I think it’s important to keep these events going as they provide valuable networking opportunities for members and delegates. If we can bring in external sponsors to help cover costs, we could make the event even more exciting. As someone suggested, partnering with other regional events would be a great way to expand the Arbitrum community.
Designing and Operating the Reporting and Information Function
I think it’s always a good idea to have someone taking notes on the most relevant points discussed in our bi-weekly calls. We shouldn’t let that information slip away, and organizing it would make our workflow and data capture more efficient. As you mentioned AlexLumley , it would create a vast database of information for the marketing team. I’m looking forward to seeing these final adjustments to the processes and workflows. I’ll cast my vote in favor on Snapshot and hope to join the December call to learn more about how this proposal will be implemented.
[Non-consitutional] User Research: Why do people even build on Arbitrum, anyway?
I see no reason not to support this proposal. I believe it is necessary to periodically conduct surveys or in-person focus groups with key figures who can provide valuable insights on improving Arbitrum.The one-on-one interviews could help gather information, but bringing many people to the table could spark highly valuable conversations that provide better clarity on what needs improvement and what we might be doing wrong.That said, my vote on Snapshot also includes SOL and OP, as this will offer a broader perspective, resulting in more comprehensive research.
[Non-consitutional] User Research: Why do people even build on Arbitrum, anyway?
I think it would be a good idea Larva ; that would help us identify critical points. Having a conversation with them would bring Arbitrum back to their radar and encourage them to consider returning to evaluate the improvements that have been implemented in a future.
[NON-CONSTITUTIONAL] - Arbitrum Research and Development Collective [Term 2]
I also cast my vote in favor on Tally with the same reason as temp-check. Forum post link
Establishing a DAO Events Budget for 2025
I voted in favor on Tally for the reason I mentioned during temp-check:
“Setting aside funds for events helps Arbitrum stay active in the most important crypto spaces, which keeps the community growing and engaged. I also believe that involving the AF and OCL helps unify the community and prevents conflicting events. It really brings people together and keeps everyone on the same page, which makes the Arbitrum community much stronger.”
[Non-Constitutional] [RFC] Arbitrum D.A.O. (Domain Allocator Offerings) Grant Program - Season 3
Thank you JoJo for bringing forward the new program! I’m fully in support of continuing. It will bring great ideas that ultimately benefit and bring life to the project. I think it’s very positive to include Orbit given the amount of support it’s received from the Arbitrum community. I’m glad to see fewer abandoned projects in Season 2, which is a good sign that things are on the right track.
I’d like to recommend “Kick” as a new platform in the gaming area that is currently being used a lot, without forgetting Facebook Gaming which also has a large user base.
Hackathon Continuation Program
I have given my support on Snapshot to this proposal because of what I mention before…I think it offers a good structure that will help ensure hackathon projects turn into real solutions that benefit Arbitrum ecosystem. When you divide the program into developing and validating, you increase the chances of success because you only allocate more resources to the projects that will address the actual needs. This design encourages the use of funds wisely over a lengthy period of time. Also, RnDAO and Arbitrum working together helps to combine efforts and gives everyone guidance, stuff, and connections apart from the money.
Proposal for Financial Restitution For ArbitrumDAO Grant Winners
I just cast my vote in favor on Snapshot for the following reason:
I empathize with the challenges caused by the market correction… it’s a situation I can relate to. I believe we need new procedures in place to prevent similar issues from arising in the future, as setbacks like this can discourage participants. While I don’t know the specifics of why payments were delayed, I support finding a solution that benefits everyone involved.
[NON-CONSTITUTIONAL] Arbitrum Onboarding V2: A Governance Bootcamp
Thank you for the proposal. I believe that we should all have the same opportunities to participate in these programs. It would be a good idea to open the workshops to the public so that anyone who wants to learn about the ecosystem can have access. This project could be linked to the delegate program. Having completed the 6 weeks of the workshop could grant the user an emblem and this could represent a significant score when counting participation.
I believe that the team behind this proposal is very active in the forum and that generates confidence in me.
Change to New Governance Contracts that Allow Proposal Cancellation
I think it’s necessary to have the ability to cancel proposals. This will allow us to correct mistakes or adapt to changing circumstances more quickly. Also, clearly documenting the changes and motivations in the governance forums will generate more trust in the proposal development process.I suppose this will help prevent the [Cancelled] tag on Tally and Snapshot, which helps new users avoid confusion with the voting process.I’m just not entirely clear on the flexible voting; could you explain what this means?
[Non-Constitutional] Treasury Management v1.2
I just voted against the proposal on Snapshot. I believe we started on the wrong foot by involving individuals with questionable track records. This raises concerns and fear about the management of funds being entrusted to them. I feel there exists capable members within the community to handle such an important responsibility. Hope we can discuss this further in the community call to gain greater clarity before this proposal moves to Tally for consideration.
Proposal for Financial Restitution For ArbitrumDAO Grant Winners
Thank you for presenting this proposal. I am sorry that the market correction is causing great difficulty — I can totally relate. We should have new procedures to stop this from happening again. Participants can be discouraged by these setbacks. Even though I don’t know why payments were delayed, I do think a solution that benefits everyone can be applied. I hope you can find the delegate to have the enough voting power.
Hackathon Continuation Program
I think this proposal is a good answer to making sure that projects that do well in hackathons turn out to be useful things in Arbitrum. This setup of splitting the program into a validation phase and a development phase improves the success probability of each project. Only those projects that show real needs will receive further funding and capacity. The way they designed it helps fund use to be more efficient for long-term sustainability. Also, the partnership between RnDAO and Arbitrum helps in more cooperation as well as sustainability on the platform, which helps participants not just with money but with mentors, resources, and networks.
**Mission: Activate the Arbitrum community and market Arbitrum DAO - Arbitrum Fellowships proposal)
This is a very good proposal, and I fully support its implementation. First of all, I’m delighted to meet the Marketing (Social Media) team behind the Arbitrum accounts. I’ve seen some of you active in the forum (like Tekr0x.eth ), but I didn’t know you were part of the team. I appreciate your activity on X/Twitter; I’ve received notifications and attended spaces where I’ve learned about the ecosystem and expanded my list of contacts who contribute to Arbitrum in various ways.I’d like to mention a few important points:
I think it’s important that based on the surveys you conducted with foundation members, you’ve reached these conclusions and agreed to carry out this 3-month project. A “focus group” activity could also have helped gather information in a dialogue setting. Together with feedback from marketing experts, a more extensive list of objectives could be extracted.I believe the marketing team should be the one to define the community name, although “Arbinauts” could be a good option. I like that lends itself well to giving the brand its own identity. I think a very attractive branding can be achieved.Within the team, it would be good to include a producer and a video editor to create informative reels for social media. If you open a vacancy, I’d love to support you on that side, everything related to implementing a “Digital Marketing” strategy. This would undoubtedly help reinforce the brand’s identity and make Arbitrum’s branding more noticeable.I understand that measurable results can be obtained in 3 months, but I would love to have a vote before the end of the project to assess whether it’s essential to continue the activity on social media. These activities and positions should be permanent to maintain a consistent line in everything related to Arbitrum marketing.
OpCo – A DAO-adjacent Entity for Strategy Execution
Supporting this makes sense because the OpCo, if implemented correctly, could enhance the DAO’s operational efficiency by providing structure and oversigh. However, to protect decentralization, transparency mechanisms must be robust to prevent power consolidation.
Clear roles, reporting systems, and accountable oversight by the Operational Audit Team (OAT) will be essential for maintaining alignment with the DAO’s strategic direction without compromising decentralized principles.
[RFC]: Fund Completion of CEX-> DEX Incentive Research
I think it’s a great idea to focus on addressing a critical shift in the derivatives market: from CEX to DEX. I appreciate that the proposal not only includes specific challenges facing this transition, such as rigidity in incentives and a lack of integration between CeFi and DeFi, but also presents a detailed structure to develop network-level incentives.
Proposal: Add Support for EIP-4788
Good proposal!I believe that the implementations in EigenLayer and ZK-co-processors will contribute to the sustainable growth of the Ethereum ecosystem. Together, these tools enhance Ethereum’s scalability, improve developer flexibility, and reduce resource use, fostering a more robust ecosystem. This proposal positions Arbitrum as a leader in innovative L2 solutions, supporting its commitment to Ethereum scalability and providing essential tools for developers. Do you consider a gradual implementation of this EIP necessary to optimize stability and reduce potential interoperability conflicts with other chains?
[Non-Constitutional] Arbitrum DAO Delegate Code of Conduct + Formalizing the DAO’s Operations
I’ve just cast my FOR vote on Snapshot. As I mentioned before, establishing a code of conduct for this crucial role is essential. Ideally, regular updates would help ensure that delegates remain mindful of Arbitrum’s values and the responsibility entrusted to us.

The Watchdog: Arbitrum DAO’s Grant Misuse Bounty Program
I fully support this proposal.
I’d like to know more about the reporting process. Will it be anonymous, and how can we submit reports? Email? A section on the Arbitrum website?
I think a system platform that allows users to track their reports and communicate directly with the reviewer would be beneficial. This would help prevent spam and ensure cases are handled efficiently.
Additionally, a public blacklist of abusers could help to advise and protect the community.
OpCo – A DAO-adjacent Entity for Strategy Execution
Thank you for the effort that @Entropy and the team put into answering questions, adjusting budgets, and providing a brief summary of the progress in the governance call. I would also like to thank @Maets23 for presenting us with the most relevant information and with the most discussion in SimScore Notion – The all-in-one workspace for your notes, tasks, wikis, and databases., it is undoubtedly a very useful tool for identifying the most relevant aspects of the proposals.I have decided to vote against this proposal on Snapshot for the following reasons:Complexity of governance:While the participation of new users in the forum has been increasing, the attendance of new users in the call has also increased by 15% each month, which tells us about a scenario with a greater number of requests (proposals) that strengthen the DAO. The importance of an entity like OpCo for project management will be necessary but not at this time. Centralizing the entity can lend itself to favoritism regarding who obtains new contracts and which projects are given more focus.Budgetary transparency:I understand that the budget mentioned is an approximation of the estimate based on the number of staff who will be supporting this initiative from the start. However, not knowing the authors who are going to carry out the activities raises doubts about whether these people are sufficiently qualified to perform in their area. It is also mentioned that there will be a variation in salaries if there is compliance with indicators, but these indicators have not yet been mentioned or detailed for either OpCo or OAT.I consider it to be a well-intentioned proposal and that what is sought is order, support, and to make the most of the team’s expertise to continue building on Arbitrum. I believe that operations could be sought that do not necessarily have to be centralized, but rather audited by entities with a proven track record of teamwork.I look forward to the modifications that this proposal will make before moving on to Tally for voting.
Partner with ETH Bucharest 2025 - Eastern Europe’s Leading Ethereum Conference and Hackathon
I just voted “FOR, with POAP” on Snapshot. Excellent proposal, very well-detailed breakdown of the activities, workshops, and talks planned for the event. The timing of the proposal and the step-by-step approach, I believe, guarantee an early start to prepare everything related to branding. I think the cost-benefit ratio of the event in terms of space and exposure time is very fair. It’s an opportunity to network with other sponsors and attendees. I consider it important to use POAP for an event of this magnitude, but if the majority votes against it, we could opt for more economical options like “GitPOAP” (free) and “Mintkudos” (low cost). Both allow you to create custom badges and manage credentials.Something that could be included in the budget is the generation of valuable video and photo content (professional) during the event to communicate Arbitrum’s presence afterwards. This content would be valuable for the marketing team.
[Election & Application Thread] V2 Arbitrum Research & Development Collective
Arbitrum Research & Development Committee (ARDC)
My vote rationale:In all positions, I believe the candidates I support have demonstrated their expertise. Tamara’s project management experience with the direction of Entropy. JuanRah’s professional ethics, business inteligence and Alex’s communication skills in managing GRC calls. Open Zeppellin’s reputation in security guarantees the integrity of our funds. Blockworks’ analytical capabilities and technical knowledge in specific Arbitrum applications. Nethermind for being a leader in its sector.
Unifying Arbitrum’s Mission, Vision, Purpose (MVP)
I highly value the effort that Entropy has made to lay the groundwork and provide a new approach to aligning the DAO’s goals. The MVP will undoubtedly set the precedent and shape the behavior of anyone building on Arbitrum. Once approved, I believe that a strong marketing campaign will make the MVP resonate with current and future users, making it an attractive destination for developers. I support this proposal and will vote in favor on Snapshot.
[NON-CONSTITUTIONAL] Arbitrum Onboarding V2: A Governance Bootcamp
I voted in favor on Snapshot after listening to ocandocrypto in the bi-weekly call. I believe there is a robust and highly committed team behind this. I think there is an opportunity to continue training current and new members with practical exercises. I understand the importance of inclusion, but I also support and believe that everyone should have the same opportunities to participate in these programs. I hope that the implementation of workshops for the public, for anyone who wants to learn about the ecosystem and build connections, has been considered.
[Non-Constitutional] [RFC] Arbitrum D.A.O. (Domain Allocator Offerings) Grant Program - Season 3
I voted in favor (Renew with 5 domains adding Orb) on Snapshot for the reasons I previously mentioned:I agree that the program should continue given its performance in the first two stages. It’s a good sign that fewer projects have been abandoned. I have no doubt that the incorporation of Orbit will benefit the project.
[Non-Constitutional] Treasury Management v1.2
Given the uncertainty surrounding a member’s involvement, as discussed in the forum, I have chosen to abstain from voting on Tally. I believe that managing funds requires individuals of the highest integrity. While the proposal itself is promising, I am concerned about the potential risks. If approved…, I expect complete transparency and accountability throughout the project.
Hackathon Continuation Program
I’d like to reaffirm my vote on Tally in favor because of what I mention before:
I think it offers a good structure that will help ensure hackathon projects turn into real solutions that benefit Arbitrum ecosystem. Dividing the program into developing and validating, increases the chances of success because you only allocate more resources to the projects that will address the actual needs. This design encourages the use of funds wisely over a lengthy period of time. Also, RnDAO and Arbitrum working together helps to combine efforts and gives everyone guidance, stuff, and connections apart from the money.
[NON-CONSTITUTIONAL] Proposal for Maintenance and Continuous Enhancement of ArbitrumHub to Meet the Evolving Needs of the Arbitrum Ecosystem and DAO
Hi @0x_Buidler , congratulations on your participation in the bi-weekly call. I’ve been exploring the Arbitrum Hub platform and I think it offers a very quick and user-friendly experience. Including a “Newsletter” feature with Mailchimp functionality could help create a more informed email-based community.
I believe that if all the information is going to be centralized on a single webpage, it would be important to incorporate the efforts made by the Arbitrum Foundation on their site.
I really think the budget is quite excessive, unless more users are involved to further strengthen the online efforts. As some have mentioned, involving Arbitrum Academy could be key to growing the number of new people who want to build on Arbitrum and I support the idea.
Directional Temperature Check on Arbitrum Ventures Setup
Regarding structure and governance, I would like to know more about the experienced team that will be managing investments and business development. It is crucial to know the background of these individuals before approving such a significant funding. I understand that you will be rebuilding the Farstar website, but I also believe it is important to see their portfolio of work before making a decision. For now, I will wait to meet the key people and learn about the company’s history. Overall, I think a more transparent structure is needed regarding who will be responsible for activities that have not yet been mentioned. The uncertainty about the return on investment makes me inclined to abstain from voting or lean towards voting against the proposal.
Designing and Operating the Reporting and Information Function
After being on the call and understanding that the proposal will be modified and canceled for now, I will abstain from voting until I can analyze the next version.
