Commenting on Proposal Link: [NON-CONSTITUTIONAL] - Arbitrum Research and Development Collective [Term 2] - #76 by AlexLumley
=== VOTING RATIONALE: ===
I am voting FOR this proposal because the ARDC provides substantial value in terms of risk mitigation, security analysis, and research essential to Arbitrum DAO’s continued success. The new framework, which includes a 2.09M USDC budget and a structured Supervisory Council, addresses some of the feedback and gaps identified in the first iteration. This approach ensures a prudent allocation of funds and a proactive stance toward potential challenges.
By opting for a retainer model and introducing delegate approvals for workstreams, this proposal enhances accountability and aligns the ARDC’s work closely with DAO needs. The ARDC’s role in producing long-term research reports will support strategic decision-making, and the continued investment in this program is a proactive measure to secure the DAO’s future stability and growth.
