Arbitrum LATAM Report
The Arbitrum LATAM Report for January 2024 outlines a project aimed at educating the Latin American community about Arbitrum through a Spanish website, various communication channels, and educational materials. The initiative has received positive feedback from the community and has already produced a podcast series. The launch of the website is planned for February, followed by expanded social media engagement and university outreach in March.
You can check out the first report here.

Some Governance Discussions:
EAIP: ArbOS Version 20 “Atlas”
Description:
This proposes improvements to Arbitrum chains to leverage EIP 4844 to post batches of L2 transactions as Blobs on L1 Ethereum at a cheaper price, as well as support most of the changes included in Ethereum’s Dencun upgrade.
It is worth noting that ArbOS Version 20 is an upgrade that builds upon ArbOS Version 11 (which has been adopted by the ArbitrumDAO and will go live this week).
Status:
The proposal is currently in off-chain voting on Snapshot, available until February 9th.
AIP: Batch Poster Manager and Sequencer Inbox Finality Fix
Description:
This proposes improvements to batch posting for the Arbitrum One and Nova chains, including the introduction of a “batch poster manager” role with the ability to grant/revoke batch-posting affordances; and an increase to the max-time-variation “future blocks” and “future seconds” values to 64 and 768, respectively, in line with Ethereum’s proof of stake finality guarantees
These changes aim to make the system more resilient and do not represent a change to the system’s current trust model.
Status:
The proposal is currently in off-chain voting on Snapshot, available until February 12th.
Voting Reminders
- AIP: ArbOS Version 20 “Atlas” (temp check)
- AIP: Batch Poster Manager and Sequencer Inbox Finality Fix (temp check)
- [Non-Constitutional]: Arbitrum Stable Treasury Endowment Program (temp check)This framework supports the budding RWA ecosystem on Arbitrum by diversifying 35 million ARB from the Arbitrum DAO treasury into stable & liquid bills or money market instruments earning a rate of return roughly equivalent to US Treasuries.
- Long Term Incentives Pilot Program (on-chain)This AIP establishes a Long-term Term Incentives Pilot Program for the DAO to test new incentive designs and answer the necessary questions to ensure we are ready to commit to the long-term program. This Pilot Program will distribute a maximum of 45M ARB to protocols building on Arbitrum that were not funded during STIP or the Backfund. The program will distribute ARB to protocols for 12 weeks.
