As the first phase of AVI concludes, we want to thank everyone who has engaged, provided feedback, and contributed to shaping this initiative.
Thesis Discussions
Throughout this journey, we’ve introduced the community to AVI’s approach through workshops, stakeholder discussions, and open office hours. Most recently, we held a series of calls to discuss the mini-thesis “Plaid for Crypto”, highlighting 11 potential deals and facilitating conversations about how AVI can support venture investment in the Arbitrum ecosystem. You can find those discussions here: Call 1, Call 2, Calls 3 & 4
Aligning on AVI’s Rollout
At ETH Denver, we hosted an open office hours event for AVI, where stakeholder discussions reinforced strong alignment on the importance of enabling venture investment for the Arbitrum ecosystem. However, it was also agreed that with ongoing governance developments and evolving DAO priorities, the most strategic approach is to wait to finalize the proposal for AVI’s rollout over the next 1-3 months to ensure proper alignment.
AVI Phase 1 Wrap-Up
After integrating stakeholder feedback, we published:
- The Strategic Recommendations for AVI’s setup and staging
- The Market Consultation Report
- A Wrap-Up Summary Post covering the pilot’s efforts, strategic recommendations, and next steps for AVI
Thank you to everyone who contributed along the way. Your insights and engagement have been invaluable! Stay tuned for next steps!
