Ongoing Onchain Proposals 
1. Request to Increase the Stylus Sprint Committee’s Budget (Voting ends Mar 6, Thursday)
Entropy Advisors is proposing to allocate another 4M ARB from the DAO treasury to the Stylus Sprint program, to extend funding opportunities to promising projects that were not initially accepted into the Sprint.
With 147 applications and ~31.92 million ARB in funding requests, demand for the Stylus Sprint program significantly exceeded expectations. The committee received a large number of exceptional applications, but unfortunately, due to the initial budget constraints, the committee was only able to fund 17 applications.
With Stylus as one of Arbitrum’s strongest competitive advantages, the committee believes that funding all impressive applications from Stylus Sprint is a worthwhile investment for the DAO is a worthwhile investment for the DAO.
Specifically, this additional 4M ARB will fund a total of 9 applications, with 5 applications under the Open Application track and 4 applications under the RFP track.
