Proposal: Unifying Arbitrum’s Mission, Vision, Purpose (MVP)
Vote: For
Rationale: We’re happy to support this proposal because it gives ArbitrumDAO a clear direction by defining its mission, vision, and purpose. Having a shared “north star” is key to keeping the community aligned and ensuring all projects and decisions contribute to Arbitrum’s future success. The step-by-step plan—from setting a vision to creating actionable goals and budgets—provides a solid foundation to make the DAO more focused and effective.
To enhance the proposal, we’d suggest adding clear ways to measure success, like tracking how many projects align with the vision and how many builders and users join the ecosystem. Rewarding participation in the SOS phase and starting with smaller pilot projects could help test ideas and build momentum. Supporting builders with better resources and adding visuals to explain the process could also make everything easier to follow. We’re excited to see how this proposal will help ArbitrumDAO grow and thrive!
Proposal: Partner with ETH Bucharest 2025
Vote: For without POAP
Rationale: We support sponsoring ETH Bucharest 2025 as it offers a valuable platform for Arbitrum to showcase Stylus, engage with developers, and expand its ecosystem in a key region. The proposed workshops, hackathon bounties, and prime visibility are well-aligned with Arbitrum’s goals and provide significant opportunities for ecosystem growth. While we think the POAP activation is a creative way to get attendees involved and highlight Arbitrum’s technology, we find it too expensive for the value it adds. Therefore, we will vote for the proposal without the POAP add-on. We appreciate the team’s flexibility in considering feedback and believe focusing on optimizing hackathon engagement, improving developer follow-up support, and tracking outcomes will further enhance the event’s impact and efficiency.
Proposal: OpCo – A DAO-adjacent Entity for Strategy Execution
Vote: Against
Rationale: We appreciate the effort behind the OpCo proposal, but we will vote against it. As other delegates have noted, OpCo introduces centralization risks by concentrating power and creating a potential gatekeeper, which conflicts with the DAO’s decentralized ethos. The proposed budget of 22M ARB is also significant, and while this is one potential solution, we would prefer to see an approach that better balances decentralization without granting excessive power to a single entity.
Proposal: Non-Constitutional: Stable Treasury Endowment Program 2.0
Vote: For
Rationale: We support the STEP 2 proposal as it aligns with our commitment to treasury diversification into stable, yield-generating RWAs, ensuring long-term financial stability for the DAO. Like other delegates, we share the vision of fostering the growth of RWA protocols on-chain within the Arbitrum ecosystem. At the same time, we’d love to see more focus on exploring and prioritizing on-chain solutions to strengthen decentralization and make the most of Arbitrum’s potential for RWA innovation.
