I completely agree with your sentiment. The DAO IS THE FRAMEWORK. I posted a similar sentiment yesterday and believe your reminder that the DAO IS THE FRAMEWORK is the call to action the ecosystem needs to overcome this long phase of inertia. > [@Quit Shooting the DAO/Foundation in the foot](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/quit-shooting-the-dao-foundation-in-the-foot/15771): > > The $ARB token has been live for nearly 6 months and the DAO controls ~43% of the token supply. It is my opinion that the DAO is overcorrecting and limiting the ability of the Foundation and larger Arbitrum ecosystem to be successful as a reaction to the controversial AIP1. I find it frustrating that there have been no grants passed or incentives assigned to grow the ecosystem. The Arbitrum ecosystem has seen such amazing growth without any token incentives/grants, but we cannot stay competit… It was quite frustrating to see many large delegates voting “Against” the Camelot proposal and their reasoning was basically: “I’d like to vote Yes on this, but I will wait for the frameworks that are a few months away to be finished”. I can’t think of a worse reason to vote against something. We need a sense of urgency. I also feel like there is a concerning lack of engagement from some of the top delegates. Perhaps incentives to keep delegates more involved will help with the overall pace of the DAO. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/arbitrum-now-a-pragmatic-approach-for-the-moment/15779)._
