[Tally] Request to Increase the Stylus Sprint Committee’s Budget
Voted: FOR
We maintained our support from the temp check.
[Snapshot] TMC Recommendation
Voted: Deploy Both Strategies
We were satisfied with the answers from the partners selected for both the stables and ARB allocation so we supported deploying both.
[Snapshot] GMC’s Preferred Allocations (7,500 ETH)
Voted: FOR
We were happy with GMC’s recommendations after reviewing the protocols selected and the allocation split so we voted in favor.
[Snapshot] [CONSTITUTIONAL] Proposal: For Arbitrum DAO to register the Sky Custom Gateway contracts in the Router
Voted: FOR
The proposal to register the Sky custom gateway is clear-cut, and importantly, the DAO retains control to modify the gateway if needed. The fact that trusted auditors have reviewed the code adds credibility, too.
All these reinforced our decision to support it.
[Tally] [CONSTITUTIONAL] - Adopt Timeboost + Nova Fee Sweep
Voted: FOR
We maintained our support for both from their respective temp checks, and were in favor of meshing them into one Tally proposal to reduce the overhead of seeing them go through as they are constitutional proposals.
[Tally] [NON-CONSTITUTIONAL] Arbitrum Onboarding V2: A Governance Bootcamp
Voted: ABSTAIN
We supported the proposal during the temperature check but abstained from the onchain vote. While budget concerns remain, our main issue is with the program’s structure.
We believe onboarding should be research-driven—encouraging participants to engage with the community, identify challenges, and propose solutions—rather than matching them directly to protocols.

[Snapshot] [Non-constitutional] ARB Incentives: User Acquisition for dApps & Protocols
Voted: AGAINST
We voted against this proposal as we had some concerns over the initial cost of set up plus alignment with the community’s needs at this time.
[Snapshot] OpCo – Oversight and Transparency Committee (OAT) Elections
Voted
- Frisson
- Jana Bertram
- Patrick McCorry
- A.J. Warner
Detailed rationale for our selection can be seen here.
[Snapshot] TMC Stablecoin Recommendation
Voted: YES, Deploy
We were satisfied with the answers from the partners selected for both the stables and ARB allocation so we supported deploying both.
[Snapshot] TMC ARB Recommendation
Voted: YES, Deploy
We were satisfied with the answers from the partners selected for both the stables and ARB allocation so we supported deploying both.
[Tally] [NON-CONSTITUTIONAL] Arbitrum Audit Program
Voted: FOR
We supported this proposal during the temp check and maintained support during onchain vote, confident in the technical capabilities of both the Foundation and OCL. The involvement of an OpCo team member is also a positive.
That said, with a Foundation member running in the current election, we believe appointing an alternate to the committee—if they’re elected—would help preserve balance.
We also value the inclusion of payment conditions and a clear quarterly reporting structure, which strengthens transparency and accountability.
May 2025
[Snapshot] Approval of STEP 2 Committee’s Preferred Allocations
Voted: FOR
We appreciate the committee’s efforts in vetting applicants—we reviewed the recommendations and felt confident supporting their selections.
[Snapshot] [Non-consitutional]: Top-up for Hackathon Continuation Program
Voted: Yes to both
We supported both the hackathon top-up and the transfer of remaining funds to the TMC. Redirecting unused Season 1 funds to the hackathon was the most efficient use, and Jojo’s recommendation to allocate the surplus to the TMC was a strong call.
[Snapshot] DeFi Renaissance Incentive Program (DRIP)
Voted: FOR
DRIP is a well-structured step toward sustainable incentives. Our initial concerns on season overlap and program scope were addressed.
We still urge careful monitoring of power concentration and long-term impact, but overall, we view this as a strong strategic advancement for the community.
[Tally] The Watchdog: Arbitrum DAO’s Grant Misuse Bounty Program
Voted: Yes, Deploy
We supported it during the temp check and maintained that stance onchain. While some changes were made ahead of the vote, we’re comfortable with the final version.
[Snapshot] [Constitutional] AIP: Constitutional Quorum Threshold Reduction
Voted: FOR
While we initially suggested a more phased reduction, the clarification that 4.5% will effectively mirror current quorum levels by July addresses our concern. As a temporary fix to unblock constitutional governance, this is a pragmatic step while longer-term participation and quorum reforms are explored.
[Tally] [CONSTITUTIONAL] AIP: ArbOS Version 40 Callisto
Voted: FOR
We supported ArbOS 40 activation during the temp check and maintained that stance onchain, especially following the successful security audit
June 2025
[Snapshot] Adjust the Voting Power of the Arbitrum Community Pool & Ratify the Agentic Governance Pivot
Voted: Reduce delegation to 100k
With Event Horizon’s transition to agentic governance, the current 7M delegation gives the Community Pool outsized voting power without clear accountability. Reducing it to 100K strikes a better balance — the pool remains active but no longer dominates votes.
This aligns with EH broader move toward agentic governance and ensures more distributed, representative outcomes across the DAO.
[Snapshot] Wind Down the MSS + Transfer Payment Responsibilities to the Arbitrum Foundation
Voted: FOR
With the MSS’s responsibilities largely complete and operational redundancy growing, transitioning payment duties to the Arbitrum Foundation is a practical next step, at least until OpCo is ready.
This shift improves efficiency, reduces unnecessary complexity, and aligns with how other DAO functions are evolving. We support this as a clean and timely wind-down.
[Snapshot] Reallocate Redeemed USDM Funds to STEP 2 Budget
Voted: FOR
[Tally] DeFi Renaissance Incentive Program (DRIP)
Voted: FOR
