ARB Staking: Unlock ARB Utility and Align Governance

[maxlomu]

gm, voting FOR this proposal on Snapshot - Having a liquid version of staked ARB is an attractive value proposition that we can further build upon.

Would be great if before the vote on Tally we can bring more lights on the questions raised by the ARDC.

@Delphi-Digital

• mplementing a commission model for delegates could act as delegate incentive + delegation incentive. What is the right split to ensure adequate incentivization?
• What is a sustainable yield that can be promised given the tapering off in sequencer revenues? Would ARB emissions be on the table?
• What other revenue sources can be tapped into for future incentivization? Orbit chain fees?
• Does the Arbitrum DAO have the ability and appetite to set aside ARB to delegate across the top delegators to vote on behalf of the Foundation/DAO’s mandate?

While staking could be lucrative for DAO governance, ARB holders, and the general perception around ARB and L2 tokens, there needs to be a clear-cut economic roadmap to ensure this isn’t done in a haphazard manner.
