DAOplomats voted “For” in all three proposals on BoLD.
AIP: BoLD - Permissionless Validation for Arbitrum
Arbitrum BoLD is an essential next step towards complete decentralization. With eyes set on Stage 2, it is only pleasing to see this implementation come to fruition. Besides security, setting this high bar for bad actors makes total sense. We have also gone through the rationale of compensating in ETH as opposed to ARB and we are in support.
AIP: Funds to Bootstrap the First BoLD Validator - Bond Sentiment.
We were in support of releasing the funds requested to the Foundation. Also, seeing that the BoLD upgrade requires at least one active proposer at any point in time, we were happy to allow the Foundation be the first to take up this responsibility.
AIP: Funds to Bootstrap the First BoLD Validator - Operational Cost Sentiment
Finally, we were in support of this proposal to cater for the costs needed to reimburse L1 gas fees as well as the 500 ETH service fees. Due to the nature of the BoLD upgrade, it does sound logical to both reimburse participants and incentivize them for actively working to progress the chain.
