Rationale: We voted in support of this proposal during the offchain vote. Our position remains unchanged, therefore we are voting FOR on the onchain proposal.
Rationale: This proposal seeks to automate the movement of surplus and idle funds from DAO initiatives to the Arbitrum Treasury Management Council (ATMC). In the past, the DAO has approved one-off proposals to consolidate idle funds under the ATMC. We believe it is a sensible operational step to automate this process and make it the default treatment of idle DAO funds going forward. Doing so ensures the treasury’s capital is maximized and reduces the operational overhead associated with passing individual proposals to allocate idle or unused funds. We are therefore voting in support of this proposal.
Updating the Code of Conduct & DAO Procedures to Become Living Documents
Type: Off-chain
Vote: FOR
Rationale: This proposal seeks to transition the Arbitrum DAO’s Code of Conduct and DAO Procedures from a trial-based framework to a permanent living document, with OpCo assuming stewardship over its maintenance and amendment. The structural changes introduced, including the amendment process, the transfer of conflict resolution to OpCo, and the shift to optional shielded voting, reflect practical lessons drawn from two trial periods and strike a reasonable balance between governance flexibility and accountability. Therefore, we are voting FOR this proposal.
[Constitutional] AIP: ArbOS 60 Elara
Type: Off-chain
Vote: FOR
Rationale: This proposal seeks to upgrade Arbitrum One and Arbitrum Nova to ArbOS 60 Elara, introducing multidimensional gas pricing, an increased Stylus smart contract code size limit, and a delegated mechanism for Offchain Labs to adjust minimum L2 base fees within defined bounds. The upgrades are technically well-scoped, come at no cost to the DAO, include independent auditing by Trail of Bits. Therefore, we are voting FOR this proposal.
Transfer 6,000 ETH and Idle Stablecoins from the Treasury to the Treasury Management Portfolio
Type: Off-chain
Vote: FOR
Rationale: This proposal seeks to transfer 6,000 ETH and approximately $150K in idle USDC from the Arbitrum DAO treasury to the Treasury Management Portfolio for active yield generation. The ATMC has demonstrated strong results, with the 30-day average annualized ETH yield more than doubling year-to-date to 4.81%, exceeding the wstETH benchmark rate by over 2.3%, and deploying this idle capital is consistent with treasury best practices of minimizing unproductive assets. Therefore, we are voting FOR this proposal.
Improvements to the Arbitrum Audit Program
Type: Off-chain
Vote: FOR
Rationale: This proposal seeks to introduce two operational enhancements to the Arbitrum Audit Program: replacing the mandatory exclusivity requirement with a flexible alignment framework, and piloting AI security scans for early-stage teams. Both changes address documented friction points that have caused quality applicants to disengage and left a gap in support for teams not yet ready for full-scope audits, without requesting any additional budget. Therefore, we are voting FOR this proposal.
