Our focus on financial hygiene and structure is why, if elected, GFX Labs will present a report to Arbitrum governance on the financial state of the AGV, and (to the extent it exists) the AGV’s business plan to return principal and ultimately profits to governance. To the extent that any NDAs prohibit disclosure to governance, we will outline what subjects have been omitted. We will publish this report within 60 days of beginning our term.
After getting a firm understanding of the current state of AGV’s finances and planning, we will work with other AGV council members and wider Arbitrum governance to explore ways to update the AGV mandate to create a to-be-established target schedule for remittance of principal and investment returns back to governance.
Additionally, we believe there is room to explore ways to expand the mandate beyond the narrow focus on gaming and towards a broader consumer-facing ecosystem. Whether that makes sense will depend upon the existing status of AGV’s finances and structure, as well as whether other consumer-facing verticals appear in need of investment and use on Arbitrum.
