## **🗳 Off-chain Proposals**

### **[Arbitrum Security Program](https://snapshot.org/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0x666a31ac239818a8b90f9d5784adad5974009fe6254da9c3be7f39aed57391bc)**

The Arbitrum Foundation proposes to continue and evolve the [Arbitrum Audit Program (AAP)](https://blog.arbitrum.foundation/arbitrums-10m-audit-program-is-live-apply-to-secure-your-smart-contracts/) with a one-year mandate - into a broader Arbitrum Security Program (ASP), running for a further 12 months on a rolling-application basis and utilizing the excess funds from the AAP:

- The mandate of the ASP covers the full security lifecycle: AI-assisted screening ahead of a full audit, the human-conducted audit itself, the Arbitrum bug bounty program, and the ArbitrumDAO Security Council.
- The audit committee technical expert retainer is modified to $2.5k/month based on expected workload; the [DAO-approved](https://snapshot.box/#/org/arbitrum/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0xa8d3dbf1b6cbe81847b5165da5d194d2fc554ae223f6ccf77f53c3fdecc6987e) alignment framework is maintained as the program’s baseline; program changes adopt a lightweight optimistic approval process to reduce governance overhead; and idle funds are put to work in low-risk management strategies.

_Voting ends on August 27._

## **🗳 On-chain Proposals**

### **[Authorize Priority Gas Auctions and Establish the Fast Feed](https://alt.gov.arbitrum.foundation/proposal/104933844856336554027758452704713321330340501652892001249184191934279866979282?govId=eip155:42161:0xf07DeD9dC292157749B6Fd268E37DF6EA38395B9)**

This AIP proposes to combine two separate actions (that previously passed temperature checks) into a single on-chain vote for the ArbitrumDAO to consider.

**1. [Transitioning Arbitrum One’s ordering policy from Timeboost to Priority Gas Auctions](https://snapshot.org/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0xb380013efad355a9888561e1a108f0e6344f2e39c11087bb9043378d14ecec4d):**

- This would disable Timeboost on Arbitrum One and replace it with a Priority Gas Auction (PGA) mechanism, an ordering policy that’s more familiar for actors who are willing to pay for transaction priority. In addition, it would sunset Timeboost on Arbitrum Nova.

**2. [Establishing the Fast Feed, a paid and authenticated data streaming product for Arbitrum One](https://snapshot.org/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0xe98ec21fc4212d98ef86d513b69e24c7d082359d735632bb4e4d9df3e857fde9):**

- This would allow subscribers to get updates on transactions, their relative ordering, and related transaction metadata earlier than they would otherwise via the regular feed.
- 97% of subscription revenue would be routed to the ArbitrumDAO and 3% to the Arbitrum Developer Guild.

_Voting ends on September 3._
