DeFi Renaissance Incentive Program (DRIP)

Really appreciate the thought and effort behind this proposal — overall, I support the initiative and think it’s a valuable direction for encouraging more activity and growth across the Arbitrum DeFi ecosystem.

That said, I wanted to highlight a couple of points for further consideration:

  1. Protocol Alignment & Co-Incentives: A structure similar to the SafePass campaign might be worth exploring. By matching ARB incentives with those from protocols that are actively trying to expand their market share on Arbitrum, we could better align interests and potentially see more sustained growth rather than short-term spikes in usage.
  2. Relation to Other Post-Detox Proposals: How does this fit into the broader incentive strategy currently being discussed? For example, how does it interact or overlap with this proposal focused on user acquisition for dApps and protocols: [Non-constitutional][RFC] ARB Incentives: User Acquisition for dApps & Protocols? It would be great to understand how these initiatives complement (or differ from) each other, and whether there’s room for coordination to avoid fragmentation.
