Upgrading to BoLD is a no brainer. Making progress towards getting to Stage 2 is always an easy yes.
Proposal 1: BoLD - Permissionless Validation for Arbitrum
Better security and more decentralization via permissionless validation and reduced delay attacks. Who wouldn’t want that!
It seems thoroughly tested and audited. The economic incentives for honest participation seem solid. Easy yes
Proposal 2: Funds to Bootstrap the First BoLD Validator - Bond Sentiment
Honestly, I think its really cool that making the Arbitrum Foundation the first validator is even a vote… Obviously it’s better to give them some of the ETH we have accumulated from fees than to have them sell ARB to do make this happen.
Proposal 3: Funds to Bootstrap the First BoLD Validator - Operational Cost Sentiment
Subsidizing validators costs for the first year makes sense. I’m surprised its soooo pricey I assume we can trust the foundation to ensure that no one games this system.
