Meeting Minutes: Bi-weekly Grants & Governance Workshop (08.15.2023)
Bi-weekly Grants & Governance Workshop - August 15, 2023
Attendance: Approximately 11 participants
Call Introduction.
During the initial segment of the call, participants shared their discussion topics using sticky notes.
Item 1: Delegate’s Incentives.
The discussion commenced with the “delegate incentives” sticky note, given its high priority.
After setting the priorities, participants had an opportunity to inquire about other sticky note topics, with the most pertinent questions being addressed.
Considerable interest was expressed regarding payment for delegates and the system to prevent conflicts of interest.
Members were encouraged to provide comments and pose questions on the SeedLatam RFC-2 proposal, accessible here:
Item 2: Arbitrum Licenses
The second point of discussion involved licenses issued by Offchain Labs for projects seeking to utilize Nitro technology.
Considerable debate arose over the application process and the trustworthiness of Offchain Labs. From my perspective, two opposing viewpoints exist:
- Restricting arbitrum nitro licensing could dissuade developers from using Arbitrum, but it would ensure committed projects align with the ecosystem’s vision.
- Alternatively, facilitating easy licensing for numerous projects could lead to chain forks and potential scams. Nevertheless, wider distribution of arbitrum software could expose technology performance variations, aiding in identifying weaknesses and strengths for a more robust and secure ecosystem in the long run.
Agenda Item 3: Forum Timing
A suggestion was made for a quarterly system, involving planning in the first month, participation in the second, and evaluation in the third.
Due to time constraints, the discussion on this topic remained incomplete.
