The active phase of the program is now complete
As originally planned, submissions are now officially closed. Over the past year, we received more than 1,200 applications, an outstanding result that reflects the strength and commitment of the Arbitrum community.
Over the coming weeks, the team will finalize the remaining reviews and ensure that any outstanding proposals are properly assessed.
What happens next
- Transition to low-capacity mode
In line with the Tally proposal, the DAs will now focus on reviewing and disbursing milestones for approved projects, as well as supporting grantees with final reports and interviews. - Reporting and impact assessment
The PM will continue producing reports. Following the next monthly update, the DAO can expect a comprehensive Impact Report summarizing the program’s achievements to date.
Over the next six months, reporting cadence and structure may evolve, reflecting the program’s shift away from application flow tracking toward broader accounting and result analysis. - Coordination with the Arbitrum Foundation
We are working closely with the AF to amplify the program’s outcomes and leverage the broader network. This includes sharing information about new Foundation-led initiatives with our grantees and identifying high-potential projects that may benefit from continued support - Reconcile expenses
We are working with the AF to review and reconcile operational expenses incurred over the past year, and projected for the next six months, that were not explicitly included in the original proposal but became necessary to support the program. These costs, primarily related to infrastructure, will be drawn from the unused part of the OpEx budget.
Further news on the future of the program will be shared at the end of the month, alongside the final monthly report of the active phase.
