- Proposal: Election of STEP Program Manager
- Voting type & platform: Offchain - Snapshot
- Deadline: ended Jun 11, 2024
- Vote: 100% for steakhouse
- Reasoning: We voted 100% for Steakhouse because we recognize all the work they have done with DAOs and their valuable contribution to other protocols we are aware of. This is nothing new to us, we have been tracking them from a long time ago to today and we know Steakhouse can be trusted 100%. We considered all other options, but decided to stick with what we consider to be the most reliable choice.
- Proposal: [NON-CONSTITUTIONAL] Pilot Phase: Arbitrum Ventures Initiative
- Voting type & platform: Offchain - Snapshot
- Deadline: ended Jun 11, 2024
- Vote: For
- Reasoning: We voted for, without the IRL event. We initially had some concerns about overlapping proposals, but later we realized the distinction with other ongoing programs, and we are pleased with that. For example, we see this proposal as complementary to the M&A proposal, and the fact that they are both ongoing could help develop other issues to be addressed in the future. We believe that they are mutually reinforcing and thus a great benefit to the Arbitrum economy.
As for the IRL event, our position is against it, as we feel that it can be clearly avoided with the same results and less money spent than necessary, especially considering that some IRL events such as ETHCC are about to take place.
- Proposal: AIP: BoLD - permissionless validation for Arbitrum
- Voting type & platform: Offchain - Snapshot
- Deadline: ended Jun 13, 2024
- Vote: For
- Reasoning: We voted FOR because there is no reason to be against such an improvement. As we have said before, we will always be for anything that improves the workflow. This is clearly a step towards more decentralization and security.
- Proposal: AIP: Funds to bootstrap the first BoLD validator - Bond sentiment
- Voting type & platform: Offchain - Snapshot
- Deadline: ended Jun 13, 2024
- Vote: For
- Reasoning: We voted FOR this proposal because it is clear that this is a well-planned initiative and we can see this in detail in the proposal itself. The fact that the responsibility falls on the Foundation shows a great commitment to this improvement, which is why we do not see anything strange about the cost, although it is high. We think a breakdown is necessary to provide more clarity on the use of funds.
- Proposal: AIP: Funds to bootstrap the first BoLD validator - Operational cost sentiment
- Voting type & platform: Offchain - Snapshot
- Deadline: ended Jun 13, 2024
- Vote: For
- Reasoning: We stand by our previous vote (bond sentiment) and consequently voted FOR on the operating expenses to bootstrap the first BOLD validator. We have some reservations regarding the defined spending and continue to support our suggestion in our previous rationale.
