The following reflects the views of the Lampros DAO governance team, composed of Chain_L (@Blueweb), @Euphoria, and Hirangi Pandya (@Nyx), based on our combined research, analysis, and ideation.
We are voting FOR this proposal in the Snapshot voting.
We believe DRIP presents a meaningful improvement in how the DAO designs and delivers ecosystem incentives.
We appreciate Entropy’s responses, particularly the clarification that each season will include a public evaluation framework and that protocols will be provided with co-marketing templates and strategic support. This directly addresses past weaknesses in DAO-funded incentive programs, where marketing was often overlooked and reporting was inconsistent.
What sets DRIP apart, in our view, is its shift away from protocol-specific grants and toward activity-based, asset-pair focused goals. For example, targeting something like “deepest wstETH/USDT liquidity” in a season gives the program a measurable north star. It creates aligned incentives across protocols and users and allows the DAO to track whether value is actually being created.
The seasonal structure and ability to adapt mid-cycle are additional strengths. This introduces flexibility while keeping the program grounded in DAO accountability.
We recognize that execution quality will be key. But the architecture and intent behind DRIP reflect maturity in how the Arbitrum ecosystem approaches incentive design. This proposal experiments with the right things like focused goals, clear outcomes, vendor accountability, and continuous measurement.
We support DRIP as a valuable step forward and look forward to engaging closely throughout its rollout.
