Proposal: The Watchdog: Arbitrum DAO’s Grant Misuse Bounty Program
Vote: For
Rationale: We support the Watchdog Proposal as it introduces a critical accountability mechanism to ensure DAO funds are used responsibly. By incentivizing community members to report misuse, the program helps deter malicious behavior, recover misallocated funds, and foster transparency. Its fair and scalable reward system encourages participation, this initiative strengthens trust and protects the DAO’s financial integrity, aligning with its mission to promote responsible and impactful resource allocation.
Proposal: [CONSTITUTIONAL] AIP: ArbOS Version 40 Callisto
Vote: For
Rationale: We support ArbOS 40 “Callisto” because it prepares us for Ethereum’s upcoming Pectra upgrade in a straightforward way. It lets EOAs run smart contract code (EIP-7702), boosts our cryptographic operations with enhanced BLS support (EIP-2537), and extends access to historical block data (EIP-2935), along with a minor Stylus caching fix. Honestly, there’s not much more to add, it’s a clean, necessary upgrade.
Proposal: DeFi Renaissance Incentive Program (DRIP)
Vote: For
Rationale: We’re genuinely excited about DRIP because it feels like the first incentive program that really “gets” what Arbitrum needs: clear goals, fast feedback loops. We’re voting yes because it puts real users front and center with measurable objectives, like boosting USDT/ETH liquidity, instead of broad protocol handouts. We appreciate that Entropy is fully on the hook: all ARB sits in a foundation-controlled, clawback-enabled multisig and is released only when pre-agreed milestones are met. We value the transparency built into the design, where every ARB spent, whether on incentives or operations, is published live, and community ideas feed directly into each season’s roadmap. We support vesting and tranche-based payouts to encourage sustained engagement long after the incentive window closes. With expert partners handling distribution and evaluation and public dashboards tracking progress in real time, we believe DRIP offers a truly data-driven path to lasting DeFi growth on Arbitrum.
