I am excited to announce that Tally will extend the Arbitrum DAO onchain governance user interface to support the Security Council Proposed Implementation Spec.
The Security Council plays an important and powerful role in the Arbitrum DAO. In case of emergency, the Security Council has the ability to bypass the normal constitutional proposal process (which requires many weeks to execute). The Security Council also has the ability to block DAO proposals, providing an important check-and-balance against the power of ARB token holders.
While the Security Council plays an important and powerful role in the Arbitrum DAO, it is itself beholden to ARB token holders. Security Council Members can only be elected and therefore added to the Security Council multisig via onchain vote by ARB token holders every six months.
The Security Council Elections experience on Tally will be integrated into the existing interface where ARB delegates and token holders already participate in onchain governance of the Arbitrum DAO. Tally will implement an end-to-end Election process that fully supports the smart contracts developed by Offchain Labs for Arbitrum Security Council Elections, including:
- Candidate registration
- Candidate filtering and qualification
- Candidate discovery
- Candidate ranking
- Round 1 landing page
- Round 1 voting
- Round 2 landing page
- Round 2 voting
- Fractional voting
- Voting power decay
- Real-time vote re-calculation and election analytics
- Election landing page
- Security council home page
- Historical election data and analytics
Tally is honored to serve as the decentralization stack for the Arbitrum DAO, powering chain upgrades, treasury spend, and now elections. Thank you for supporting our work. We can’t wait for you to use Tally to participate in Arbitrum Security Council Elections!
