Voting “against”.
This is a really interesting initiative that could definitely benefit the DAO. It aligns with Arbitrum’s values, it offers support to developers, provides diversity in terms of programs and promotes the ecosystem as a whole. However, I share a lot of the doubts raised by other delegates above. The size of the grant and operational costs seem very high for something so experimental and that partially overlaps with other initiatives. Some of the points that the program wants to address are definitely areas that need to be tackled, but broken down and at a smaller scale. Joining forces and merging few initiatives together was likely a mistake. I am also not fully convinced of the timeline, which spans over a long period and doesn’t explain the plans after Q4 2025. Overall I think that the project has a good potential but some adjustments still have to be done in order to improve it. Thanks @aminiman and @danielo for proposing this initiative, keep it up!
