Explanations for our teams voting decisions for the 2nd half of March:
Request for Continuation of the Arbitrum DDA Program Request (Snapshot)
We voted FOR as we see the Questbooks program as an important pillar in Arbitrum’s grant ecosystem. Overall we believe their successful work justifies the increase in the program’s cost, but we do agree with some of the other delegates on introducing term limits for domain allocators and determining compensation based on a fixed amount rather than hourly.
Front-end interface to force transaction inclusion during sequencer downtime (Snapshot)
We voted FOR this proposal. A user-friendly interface to force transaction inclusion during sequencer downtime is important so that non-developer users can appropriately mitigate risk. We are pleased with the updates Gonzacolo made to the proposal after speaking with DAO members and taking their feedback into consideration, including adding more context about why this proposal is needed and updating the project’s milestones.
Catalyze Arbitrum Gaming: HADOUKEN! (Snapshot)
While this would require a substantial investment from the DAO, but in terms of funding and time, we believe it is necessary. If we ask what sector Arbitrum holds a competitive edge in, the first that comes to mind is undoubtably DeFi and in our opinion the 2nd is gaming. As competition from other L2s continues to ramp up, we think it makes sense to strategically double-down on the sectors Arbitrum already holds an advantage in. The authors of this proposal have done a good job on educating delegate to while the size of this fund is necessary. Overall, we believe they have taken a long-term and forward-thinking approach and therefore have voted FOR this proposal.
Expand Tally Support for the Arbitrum DAO (Snapshot)
We voted FOR in the Snapshot. We are pleased to see the expected rollout of new features that will improve on the governance experience and make our work as delegates easier.
Double-Down on STIP Successes (STIP-Bridge) (Snapshot)
We voted Abstain on this proposal. With the LTIPP council selection process now ending this upcoming Wednesday (April 3rd), our team will be engaging in more conversations to improve this proposal over the next few days.
