If you are developing in the ‘The Next Frontier of NFTs’ category, we encourage you to [submit your application.](https://x.com/ThankArbitrum/status/1764637195351003149?s=20) * * * ## 👩🏻‍⚖️ Some Governance Discussions: ## [[Proposal] Fix Fee Oversight ArbOS v20 “Atlas”](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/fix-fee-oversight-arbos-v20-atlas/22152) **Description:** This proposal addresses an oversight in the ArbOS Version 20 “Atlas” upgrade related to transaction fees on the Arbitrum network. It suggests reducing the L1 surplus fee per byte from 32 gwei to 0 and the L2 base fee from 0.1 gwei to 0.01 gwei to better align with the upcoming Dencun upgrade on Ethereum and the configurations implemented in Arbitrum Nova. The changes aim to lower fees for users and potentially increase transaction throughput, although they would reduce the short-term revenue for the ArbitrumDAO. The proposal seeks a temperature check and ultimately a vote from the ArbitrumDAO, with the Security Council executing the changes if approved. **Status:** A temp check voting is about to happen and available in snapshot. * * * # 🗳Voting Reminders **Active Proposals Live for Voting** The following proposals are available for voting, and we encourage all delegates to analyze and exercise their right to vote. - [Proposal to fund Plurality Labs Milestone 1B(ridge) (temp check)](https://snapshot.org/#/arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0x24344ab10eb905a4d7fa5885c6f681290e765a08a5f558ff6cfc5fedab42afb6)This proposal aims to advance the development of a diverse grants framework for the Arbitrum DAO.
