Just a quick note from the trenches: there was a previous DRIP program on Arbitrum - [this one here](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/decentralized-review-process-summary-thank-arb-milestone-1b/24877#:~:text=Delegate%20Redelegation%20Incentive%20Program%20(DRIP)) - focused on delegate redelegation mechanics. That DRIP’s wrapped, [archived](https://dashboard.forse.io/oxcart), and no longer dripping, but with this new DRIP entering stage left, we are, technically speaking, now touching acronyms, from across incentive epochs.

To avoid any mix-ups, figured it was worth flagging. [Different focus](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/announcing-the-oxcart-delegation-engine-on-arbitrum/26429), [different goals](https://github.com/emjicy/Oxcart/blob/main/OXCART-RESOURCES.md), same four letter word. That said, really appreciate the clarity in this doc, especially around the evaluation role. Always heartening to see funding programs lean toward measurability rather than vibes-per-min.

Wishing you clarity in metrics, minimal future acronym collisions, and dashboards that never. stop. updating. Godspeed.
