# **July 2025** ## [Snapshot] **[Arbitrum Research and Development Collective V2 - Extension](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0x765b297702f21736e7b52c23d781dc76968519fef9c7b1ca1f924d167b2a6899)** **Voted: AGAINST** > [@Arbitrum Research and Development Collective V2 - Extension](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/arbitrum-research-and-development-collective-v2-extension/29476/39): > > DAOplomats voted AGAINST extending ARDC V2. > > As we originally stated, the ARDC team has done good work with very insightful reports. > > However, we decided to vote against a renewal as this proposal wasn’t polished to incorporate very good feedback from delegates. Plus, a solution to our questions on impact pathways and funding model rigidity wasn’t given. We believe these areas should have been addressed before the vote went live. ## [Snapshot] **[Entropy Advisors: Exclusively Working with the Arbitrum DAO, Year 2 and Year 3](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0x320cd2a99a0544184c06e1bd305aab1fc226ab0b498e077bc857a07045194f43)** **Voted: FOR** > [@Entropy Advisors: Exclusively Working with the Arbitrum DAO, Y2-Y3](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/entropy-advisors-exclusively-working-with-the-arbitrum-dao-y2-y3/29458/39): > > DAOplomats is voting FOR this proposal on Snapshot. > > Entropy did a pretty solid job in Y1. They put good structures in place and a very good job organizing and aligning with the Foundation. > > Our major concern with the Y2-Y3 plan was in the area of compensation and the vesting schedule. However, with better alignment on how the 15M ARB will be used, we are comfortable supporting this proposal during the temp check. ## [Snapshot] **[[Constitutional] AIP: Update the Upgrade Executors](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0xc08147e229fa642ee7da2e5180f225122b8c517024902f21cdcd02b376179b8d)** **Voted: FOR** > [@\[Constitutional\] AIP: Update the Upgrade Executors](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/constitutional-aip-update-the-upgrade-executors/29463/17): > > DAOplomats is voting FOR this proposal on Snapshot. > > This update to support direct contract calls is a value add and a much welcome upgrade. > > Seeing that this reduces complications and thus streamlines the upgrade process, we are comfortable supporting during this temp check. ## [Snapshot] **[[CONSTITUTIONAL] Register $BORING in the Arbitrum generic-custom gateway](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0x586de5bf366820c4369c041b0bbad2254d78fafe1dcc1528c1ed661bb4dfb671)** **Voted: FOR** > [@\[CONSTITUTIONAL\] Register $BORING in the Arbitrum generic-custom gateway](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/constitutional-register-boring-in-the-arbitrum-generic-custom-gateway/29206/28): > > DAOplomats is voting FOR this proposal on Snapshot. > > We have approved [similar proposals](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/daoplomats-delegate-communication-thread/14165/25#p-62275-tally-enhancing-multichain-governance-upgrading-rari-governance-token-on-arbitrumhttpswwwtallyxyzgovarbitrumproposal56768509231150680433760428191516666361790213029100482092064768634784370622764govideip155421610xf07ded9dc292157749b6fd268e37df6ea38395b9-11) in the past so we didn’t have any issue supporting this. ## [Snapshot] **[Updating the Code of Conduct & DAO’s Procedures](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0xd3d164905fee7dfd8516db6150a97f7f91cf6f9377f614fa6a82333c4fb20546)** **Voted: FOR** > [@Updating the Code of Conduct & DAO's Procedures](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/updating-the-code-of-conduct-daos-procedures/29594/31): > > DAOplomats voted FOR this proposal on Snapshot. > > We support strengthening the DAO’s governance framework through this updated Code of Conduct. This proposal improves accountability and clarity, sets expectations for “contributors’” behavior, and gives the community a process to address violations. > > These updates are foundational for scaling governance participation responsibly and credibly. ## [Snapshot] **[[Constitutional] AIP: Disable Legacy Tether Bridge](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0xd5a66f784523841511f7ffec4171b9c14404fdbf7c205086312084d19c95c193)** **Voted: FOR** > [@\[Constitutional\] AIP: Disable Legacy Tether Bridge](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/constitutional-aip-disable-legacy-tether-bridge/29503/24): > > DAOplomats voted FOR this proposal on Snapshot. > > Disabling the legacy Tether bridge is the most optimal path forward, as it no longer meets current security and operational standards. > > Since all known integrators have transitioned to the new USDT0 bridge, and clear public communications have been made, this is a necessary step to protect users and streamline the bridging experience. ## [Snapshot] **[Consolidate Idle USDC to the ATMC’s Stablecoin Balance](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0x95a85f5d3d82215793ba9771ff06610d2ba9e2eaf58cdba904d7a9cb5b8bdc94)** **Voted: FOR** > [@Consolidate Idle USDC to the ATMC’s Stablecoin Balance](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/consolidate-idle-usdc-to-the-atmc-s-stablecoin-balance/29619/24): > > DAOplomats voted FOR this proposal on Snapshot. > > We are in favor of consolidating idle USDC into the ATMC’s stablecoin balance, allowing the Treasury Council to manage these assets more efficiently. This move reduces fragmentation, streamlines reporting, and improves the DAO’s ability to execute treasury strategies without affecting ownership or oversight. # **August 2025** ## [Snapshot] **[[Non-Constitutional] - Updates to the DIP, The Complete 1.7 Version](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0x008f190725018c3db0e6464bf31d44f09a4d7773fd1486dff0c52c27b8aba289)** **Voted: FOR** DAOplomats voted in favor of this proposal majorly because of the updated way of evaluating delegates feedback. We believe the objective approach will work better than how it has been done in the past. We were also in favor of excluding vote-buying platforms. ## [Tally] **[Entropy Advisors: Exclusively Working with the Arbitrum DAO, Y2-Y3](https://www.tally.xyz/gov/arbitrum/proposal/37638751032596392177176596241110468090299645534448966767963399982622616318705?govId=eip155:42161:0x789fC99093B09aD01C34DC7251D0C89ce743e5a4)** \*\*Voted: FOR \*\* We supported this proposal during the temp check and maintained our support during the onchain vote. ## [Tally] **[[CONSTITUTIONAL] Register $BORING in the Arbitrum generic-custom gateway](https://www.tally.xyz/gov/arbitrum/proposal/97685288731263391833044854304895851471157040105038894699042975271050068874277?govId=eip155:42161:0xf07DeD9dC292157749B6Fd268E37DF6EA38395B9)** **Voted: FOR** We were supportive of this proposal during the temp check and maintained that stance during the onchain vote. # **September 2025** ## [Snapshot] **[[CONSTITUTIONAL] AIP: ArbOS Version 50 Dia](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0x33754da4006d0ef38666ec5d5e85fd0966a891a594ab9dc21f23beedea2d330b)** **Voted: FOR** Updating to Dia keeps Arbitrum abreast with Ethereum’s upcoming updates and is net-positive for the chain. ## [Snapshot] **[Revert the Delegate Incentive Program (DIP) to Version 1.5](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0xb1a39a0b7543e03cbb7aca0213448f4fbed4cbf1157fcb1b2458540fb452bc73)** **Voted: Revert to v1.5** We were generally in support of this change during the discussion phase but after voting in favor of the v1.7 just a few weeks ago, we were on the fence. However, although we wanted to abstain during the temp check, we decided to vote to revert just to give the team behind DIP some food for thought on incentives alignment for delegates and/or contributors. ## [Tally] **[[CONSTITUTIONAL] Remove Cost Cap, Update Executors, Disable Legacy USDT Bridge](https://www.tally.xyz/gov/arbitrum/proposal/51852039695020109312343918128899814224888993575448130385109956762385891284115?govId=eip155:42161:0xf07DeD9dC292157749B6Fd268E37DF6EA38395B9)** **Voted: FOR** We supported this proposal during the onchain vote as it was a consolidation of three constitutional proposals we already showed support of during the temp check. ## [Snapshot] **[[CONSTITUTIONAL] AIP: Security Council Election Process Improvements](https://snapshot.box/#/s:arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0xb41324ddcc115d08149b192e0b8ae4cfad0ef39cecb5663ea63d8a460d2cb3cc)** **Voted** - **Increase cohort duration** - **Allow members to bypass nominee** - **Allow members to rotate keys** These were the options that were more aligned with our thoughts. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/daoplomats-delegate-communication-thread/14165)._
