ARB Staking: Unlock ARB Utility and Align Governance

The following reflects the views of L2BEAT’s governance team, composed of @krst and @Sinkas, and it’s based on the combined research, fact-checking, and ideation of the two.

We’ll be voting FOR this proposal during the temperature check.

We discussed this proposal thoroughly with Frisson and the Tally team both in person and during office hours, and many of our suggestions were incorporated into the final version. We are also following closely the discussion around staking, protocol revenue sharing, and improving governance systems, and we think this proposal is an interesting experiment in that area. If nothing else, we hope it will spur discussion on how we can incentivize better delegation and more engaged delegates, and the activity in this thread as well as outside the forum proves that this is the case.

We like the fact that the proposal does not define the source of staking rewards and the definition of an active delegate at this time. We commit to actively participate in the working groups that will be created if this proposal passes, as we believe that these discussions are likely to be important not only for Arbitrum, but for the entire DAO space in general.
