28 May 2025 - Roundup of Active/Upcoming Votes

Ongoing Onchain Proposals :ballot_box:

1. [CONSTITUTIONAL] AIP: ArbOS Version 40 Callisto (Voting ends May 29)

This AIP proposes to upgrade Arbitrum One and Arbitrum Nova to ArbOS 40 “Callisto.”

:small_blue_diamond: Callisto adds support for relevant Ethereum Execution Layer (EL) changes from Ethereum’s recent Pectra network upgrade and includes a minor fix related to Arbitrum Stylus.
:small_blue_diamond: Among the EL changes introduced are a way for Externally Owned Accounts (EOAs) to execute smart contract code directly from their own addresses (via EIP-7702) and new precompiles to efficiently perform operations over the BLS12-381 elliptic curve, including BLS signature verification (via EIP-2537).

Ongoing Temperature Checks :high_voltage:

1. [Constitutional] AIP: Constitutional Quorum Threshold Reduction (Voting ends May 29)

This AIP proposes to reduce the constitutional quorum threshold from 5% to 4.5% of votable $ARB supply.

:small_blue_diamond: This is to ensure that well-supported proposals can successfully conclude by aligning quorum requirements with current levels of voter participation, reducing the risk of legitimate initiatives failing due to quorum thresholds not being met.
:small_blue_diamond: This proposed 0.5% reduction would be a short-term adjustment that enables critical governance to move forward while longer-term reforms are considered and developed.

Other Reminders :alarm_clock:
