Axia Network is a delegate across DAOs in the EVM ecosystem. Axia is committed to growing alongside the ecosystem and contributing responsibly to each protocol’s long-term success.
Axia’s values emphasize supporting protocols through sustainable long-term growth, education, and strong oversight, while preserving decentralization by creating and sustaining pathways for community participation and meaningful checks and balances that ensure accountability and transparency across governance stakeholders.
[Constitutional] DVP Quorum for ArbitrumDAO: Implementation & Parameters
Vote: For
Rationale: Voted FOR adopting a DVP-based quorum model with the proposed parameters. The current system which bases quorum on total votable supply is structurally misaligned with actual governance participation. A DVP-based model more accurately reflects the tokens actively engaged in governance.
Significant research and benchmarking by the Arbitrum Foundation informed this proposal, which is appreciated. Looking forward to the DVP model implemented in practice.
[Constitutional] DVP Quorum & Proposal Cancellation
Vote: For
Rationale: Voted FOR adopting a DVP-based quorum model with the proposed parameters, along with onchain proposal cancellation. As confirmed during the March 3rd Open Discussion of Proposals call, no technical changes were made since the Snapshot vote. One addition was made: onchain proposal cancellation — allowing proposers to withdraw proposals containing errors, outdated parameters, or requiring revision based on delegate feedback received after submission.
Rationale: Voted FOR this proposal to establish an operating directive that would automate movements of any surplus and idle funds from DAO initiatives to the ATMC so they can start to generate yield for the DAO. Establishing this directive to routinely consolidate surplus and idle funds into the ATMC balance is more efficient and productive than going through a full governance process for the idle funds to be withdrawn.
Rationale: I split my votes across Blockful, Cyfrin, and Tino to prioritize diversity of background, independence, and technical expertise on the Security Council.
Blockful brings deep DAO tooling and governance experience. Cyfrin has one of the strongest audit reputations in the space. Tino represents an important independent voice. Together, these three offer a mix of technical depth, governance literacy, and independence that I believe serves Arbitrum’s long-term security.
Updating the Code of Conduct & DAO Procedures to Become Living Documents
Vote: For
Rationale: Voted FOR transitioning the Code of Conduct and DAO Procedures to a living document. Two trial periods validated the framework, and permanent adoption with an optimistic amendment process is the logical next step. Keeping the CoC outside the Constitution avoids unnecessary amendment burden for what is effectively operational policy. The shift to optional shielded voting is supported by the data gathered across both trial periods, which showed increased last-minute voting concentration under shielded conditions.
[Constitutional] AIP: ArbOS 60 Elara
Vote: For
Rationale: Voted FOR the ArbOS 60 Elara upgrade. Dynamic Pricing is a meaningful step forward — aligning gas costs with actual node resource consumption improves both fairness and capacity without requiring hardware changes. The Stylus contract size increase to 96 KB directly addresses the developer experience friction that has been consistently raised by builders. Granting Offchain Labs a 2-year window to adjust gas targets and the minimum base fee within defined bounds is reasonable given the need to iterate quickly as Dynamic Pricing rolls out, and the DAO retains the ability to revoke that delegation at any time.
Rationale: Voted For this proposal because strengthening the audit program is a practical way to improve security standards across the Arbitrum ecosystem. Security and audit quality are core public goods, and governance should continue refining the structures that help builders deploy more safely and effectively.
Rationale: Voted For this proposal because treasury stewardship is a core governance responsibility. Moving idle treasury assets into a more active treasury management framework is a sensible step toward improving capital efficiency, resilience, and long-term ecosystem sustainability.
