[Non-constitutional] ARB Incentives: User Acquisition for dApps & Protocols
Vote: Abstain
We thank the proposer for the work done so far on this initiative. We think incentive programs are an important part of growth strategies for our chain, and we have not had any for several months now.
That said, we want to abstain from this vote because we think, in the current form, it only partially address the gaps we have seen in previous iterations such as STIP and LTIPP. We support the data monitoring, but haven’t seen solution for the shortfalls that can happen in such programs, specifically for certain categories of protocols and above all from protocols operating exclusively in Arbitrum versus protocols operating multi chains that can indeed subsidise growth here through incentives while recouping any loss outside of our ecosystem.
OpCo – Oversight and Transparency Committee (OAT) Elections
Vote: 33.33% for A.J. Warner (ajwarner90), 33.33% for Frisson (Frisson), 33.33% for Patrick McCorry (stonecoldpat)
We think Patrick, AJ and Frisson are the best people to take the oversight role of OpCo.
Specifically, we think giving a more active role to members of Arbitrum Foundation and Offchain Labs will give them what they might have missed so far, a direct role to steer and direct the operations of the DAO in a successful way.
We have also growth to know and appreciate Frisson both for his work at Tally and the roles he has had in our DAO, and we think he has the business posture to cover this important position as well.

Tally votings
[NON-CONSTITUTIONAL] Arbitrum Audit Program
Vote: For
Since several concerns from our previous notes were addressed by the Foundation such as the participation of already deployed protocol in the program, we are voting in favour of the initiative compared to the previous abstain in the off-chain vote.
