Onchain Proposals :ballot_box:

1. Arbitrum Hackathon Builder Continuation Program (voting ends on 19th Dec, Thursday)

RnDAO proposes to co-fund a phased 6-month program in partnership with Arbitrum DAO to invest in 4 Arbitrum CollabTech Hackathon winners with the aim of taking these projects from a hackathon PoC to MVP.

:arrow_right: ArbitrumDAO will invest $187,980 into the ventures (including half of the program admin costs), while RnDAO will provide $200,000 for the second half of the admin and operational costs and invest in the projects by providing weekly hands-on support.

:arrow_right: Phase 1 will focus on validating ideas and understanding the market landscape, while Phase 2 will support projects to move from ‘PoC’ to the development of a market-viable ‘MVP’ to secure their first users.

2. Treasury Management V1.2 (voting ends on 20th Dec, Friday)

Entropy Advisors proposes two treasury tracks to tackle treasury management:

:one: Treasury Management (TMC): 10M ARB for ARB-only strategies + 15M ARB converted to stables.
:two: Growth Management (GMC): 7,500 ETH, DAO-approved spending only.

Each track gets a 3-member committee for specialized focus, with funds under the Arbitrum Foundation’s custody.

Snapshots⚡️

1. Unifying Arbitrum’s Mission, Vision, Purpose (MVP) (voting ends on Dec 19, Thursday)

@Entropy proposes refining & aligning the DAO’s MVP with a structured 3-phase approach & a 6-month trial.

:one: Establishing and aligning on the MVP will help participants in the DAO know what to work towards and prioritize, help the DAO judge the effectiveness of initiatives, and have greater alignment across the ecosystem.

:two: The proposal is structured into three phases: achieving consensus on the DAO’s direction (MVP); allowing stakeholders to propose a strategy matrix made up of 12 and 24-month objectives for the DAO through an open process Strategic Objective Setting (SOS); and using the SOS for financial forecasting, budgeting and marketing

  • If this passes Snapshot, Entropy will share the SOS which will include a 14-day notice period and 30-day submission window, in which any contributor can submit a strategy matrix of concrete strategic objectives aligned with the MVP

  • Only after the trial is complete, would this initiative be considered for inclusion in the Arbitrum Constitution.

2. OpCo – A DAO-adjacent Entity for Strategy Execution (voting ends on Dec 19, Thursday)

This proposal aims to establish a legal entity (OpCo) to operationalize DAO-defined goals by assigning employees or contracting service providers for end-to-end initiative execution.

:one: OpCo enhances strategy execution through improved operations, financial management, and project planning, overseen by the Oversight and Transparency Committee (OAT), with a 22M ARB budget over 30 months.

:two: OpCo also address challenges like siloed operations, lack of ownership in DAO programs, and initiative drop-offs due to limited accountability or expiring grants.

:three: This setup also maintains decentralization by ensuring DAO authority over OpCo whilst increasing independent entities to drive initiatives and serve as a flexible counterpart to the AF.

3. Partner with ETH Bucharest 2025 (voting ends on Dec 19, Thursday)

This proposal invites the Arbitrum DAO to sponsor ETH Bucharest 2025 with either $55,800 or $69,300 (with POAP implementation) from the DAO events budget, showcasing L2 and Stylus tech, while supporting the Hackathon Open Track to drive real-world use cases and impactful startups.
