Sample Voting Issue 1:
Issue Overview

Uniswap planned to use Flipside to attract new users to Uniswap through bounties. Although the program outline and funding was fine, the proposal was contentious because it gave Flipside crypto too much control over allocating UNI to bounties and oversight of the entire program.
For instance, Flipside had 3/7 seats on the allocation committee and 1/3 seats on the Oversight committee. There was also concern since none of the other analytics service providers were involved in the proposal.
This proposal flew under the radar but at the 11th hour got very heated. Large votes from university clubs supported the proposal since they would get a seat on the allocation committee. However, Dune and Leshner spoke up about the issue because of the centralization of power and favor of one service provider.

Liquidity mining is a popular strategy used by DAOs to incentivize liquidity providers and reward community members for contributing to the platform. The aggressiveness of liquidity mining can depend on a DAO’s goals and risk tolerance. A more aggressive approach to liquidity mining may lead to faster growth, but it may also increase volatility and risk.

Previous issues raised in other communities can vary widely, but some common ones include concerns about transparency, governance, and security. DAOs can address these issues by implementing transparent decision-making processes, strong security protocols, and community-driven governance structures.

Overall, the goals of a DAO and the approach to liquidity mining should be aligned with the needs and priorities of its community. DAOs can benefit from incorporating feedback and input from community members to ensure that their strategies and goals reflect the values and interests of the wider ecosystem.

Please share your stance on overall goals for the DAO:
First and foremost, the purpose of a DAO is to allow for the healthy and decentralised development of the rollup. This vision, of course, can entail many different aspects, from the more technical and security focused sections of the rollup (which the DAO should have oversight over) to encouraging the development of a healthy ecosystem and growth with the ARB token. Basically, every decision the DAO makes should return to the question: ’ How does this benefit the long-term sustainability and success of not just the ARB token, but also the broader future of rollups?’ .

From this question we can begin exploring different roles that the DAO could assume in the broader Arbitrum ecosystem, and the careful balancing act that follows for each decision. Some examples include:

Technical protocol and security upgrades: If arbitrum truly wants to be community owned, they need to have an oversight over what the protocol will develop into and all the layers that are part of the Arbitrum ecosystem. However, the average voter will probably not be knowledgeable enough to vote in good faith on whether a development will be fruitful or not. One potential solution that could be explored is a technical subcommittee in charge of overseeing this side of governance, which ultimately might report back to the wider DAO. The DAO is already planning to do this with the Security Council, but this same idea could be implemented in other technical areas.
Liquidity Mining - While this strategy can assist for the short-term growth and user acquisition on the protocols selected for these campaigns, it should not be seen as a permanent fixture of any protocol. Liquidity mining serves as a great opportunity for someone to get acquainted somewhere new in search of the yield, but if subsidised too long by the Arbitrum DAO, it could lead to an unhealthy subsidy of protocols through unsustainable emissions.
Grants - While liquidity mining handles growing users and technical committees handle the rollup itself, grants are the greatest part of the DAO that will target builders. Grants have to be handled carefully, as they have a degree of social trust needed both from the DAO and the builders. Builders have to be able to demonstrate deliverables for the amount and accountability. Despite the complications, grants will allow for the development of tools and dApps that the space might need, but currently might not be as profitable.

These are just some examples of DAO goals, but of course there are endless more possibilities on what might be handled!

Sample Voting Issue 1 - UniSwap/Flipside Bounty

How would you vote?
For
Delegation of voting power is necessary for any DAO to be able to function efficiently in the long term. Even though it brings a degree of centralisation, as long as they do not control an excessive amount of the larger DAO and they have sufficient accountability measures it’s a good initiative.

What amendments would you make to the proposal if any?

Separate the grants into quarterly distributions: For an allocation as large as 25 Million, I don’t believe that it is wise to simply divide it into Year 1 and Year 2. I understand that half of it was going to employing staff so they would rather have the reserve upfront, but considering that the only upside of delivering such amounts once a year is saving some time on transactions and communications, it feels that dividing the allocations into at least quarterly separations would’ve been wiser.
Introduce checkpoints across the delegation period: In addition to having a committee handling immediate matters related to the grant, it would’ve been preferable to also introduce routine votes to ensure that the DAO was still comfortable with such a large allocation. This would have also encouraged the grantee to increase accountability and deliver accountability reports.

How would you approach the tradeoff between centralization of authority and the ability to get things done?

It’s inevitable that effectiveness and decentralisation are inversely proportional. As long as the centralised entities are still ultimately dependent on the DAOs approval, and they operate as transparently as possible, this is a necessary tool for the development of the DAO.

A DAO should consider having centralising points only when specialists are required to act knowledgeable and quickly, something which the Vox Populi of the DAO might struggle with. The entities to do this should be trusted members of the space of course.

Sample Voting Issue 2 - Rari Hack Reinbursement

Outside the flipping of the vote, how would you choose to handle this situation?
Please elaborate on what instances you believe it is right to refund and which are not.

i.e should parties be reimbursed for an exploit or not? (Please choose one of the below options and then elaborate upon your reasoning)

Split Reimbursement

Hacks and loss of funds are to this day one of the strongest blockers we have from people trusting the space and onboarding onto it. Every time a large draining of protocol contracts occurs, the idea of the Financial Legos gets threatened, as people become less and less willing to risk connecting with other protocols.

For this reason, I believe at least a partial reinbursement is always to be considered when a protocol has decided to cooperate with you. These parties decided to entrust the security of your smart contracts, and their dedication and trust that was placed onto the protocol should be thanked by at least trying to provide some funds back. In the future, this could even be handled with DAO insurance protocols, which are already being developed in the space.

However, I would be hesitant to provide a full reinbursement when the hack has already severely impacted the protocol so badly. If the amount won’t make that much of a difference to the bottom line it makes sense to give a reinbursement, but in this particular case the double impact of the hack was so severe that this lead to one of the first instances of a DAO explicitly closing doors. A full reinbursement , in terms of impact, would be the same as a second equally devastating hack.

TL;DR Provide enough compensation to thank the participants for engaging in the system, but while a full reinbursement might help these stakeholders, the impact of this action could lead to the DAO entering a negative death spiral.

Disclosure of Conflict(s) of Interest:
Currently, I am spending most of my time working on the ParaSwap DAO. This means that I will automatically abstain from any discussion that might involve DEX Aggregation, as my opinion will obviously be biased. The positive side of this participation is that ParaSwap is also deployed in Arbitrum, which means that the success of Arbitrum will also positively impact ParaSwap (through increased liquidity sources and volumes), as well as vice versa (by encouraging efficiency and decentralisation of liquidity in the rollup by aggregating all of these together through a single, simple to access interface).

Additionaly, I also applied to be a delegate on the Optimism collective, which although is also part of the wider ethereum ecosystem it could be considered a conflict of interest. Currently, I am being allocated ~ 1k OP. In addition to this, ParaSwap has also been selected as one of the Protocol Delegate Scheme recipients, and if necessary, the representative of ParaSwap could be a different DAO member if this is considered a major conflict of interest. Personally, I believe that the growth of any decentralised rollup on the Ethereum ecosystem is a net positive for everyone in the space, and I will do my best to lend my knowledge in bettering the entire space

No amendments, just cancel it altogether.
The solution is reputational avatars, which solves most if not all DAO participation and token-weight voting problems.

Sample Voting Issue 2:
It depends entirely where the reimbursement would come from. If this were a case of introducing a self-executable on-chain transfer block on the hacked amount and reminting into the damaged parties’ accounts, I would vote yes. If the tokenholders and other network participants were to pay for this, no. Socializing losses across a large number of people is not acceptable when it is clear that very small circles of people are responsible for both insecure code and stealing the money.

how aggressive should we be in liquidity mining, what is the goal of the DAO?

I am not the biggest fan of liquidity mining, at least not directly from a DAO; I think that in the best of many cases the best is to apply to different protocols that kind of incentives, maybe like Optimism that brought diverse uses to its network incentivizing it in an indirect way in usability and ecosystem.

What amendments would you make to the proposal if any?

Diversity of opinions and participants should be the main objective of a DAO, if a small group centralizes power, the name DAO is only an aggregate.

Something that can help is to predefine in the beginning the creation of committees and delimit the members it should have at the expense of increasing diversity against personal interests.

How would you approach the tradeoff between centralization of authority and the ability to get things done?

It is a bad reference to the DAOs, the more decentralized the more difficult it is to agree, but I feel that the committees or delegates fulfill that vital function of representing the voice of many in order to optimize the governance processes.

Sample Voting Issue 2:

Split Reimbursement

A DAO must ensure the best environment for its members and also take into account their survival, therefore it will depend a lot on the cases and the type of hack, by literally draining their funds I do not think they can pay.

That’s why I think the best thing to do, and depending on the case like FEI, is to return money to those affected, maybe under a vesting system or the DAO can get down to work to look after the interests of its users.

What amendments would you make to the proposal if any?
The proposal would need to be considerate of the value driven vs the allocation. If the funding requested was only $50,000 to reach thousands of developers, or attract attention from university undergrads and clubs to drive innovation, then it would be worth because the control isnt relevant if the amounts reasonably low if the amount was higher than 2/7 would seem better and allow at most 1/3 for any position, if the purpose was to be Uniswap managed. DAOs need to be able to refer their control to other parties to operate efficiently so would depend on how many from the 3/7 were also Uniswap dels.
How would you approach the tradeoff between centralization of authority and the ability to get things done?
Hierarchy can be used to allow for oversight while allowing for autonomy in control for say having a committee to manage funding for projects, which controlled by the elected managers for the DAO who themselves are managed through the UniSwap or other token for a protocol.

Please elaborate on what instances you believe it is right to refund and which are not.
Full reimbursement should be pref where able without killing the protocol. This should only be done in cases where the core protocol was directly involved so for say, a core part for Arbitrum like the DAO and say oracles run by the DAO get compromised causing other projects to be affected, yes compensate, but if a project thats large on Arbitrum were to be hacked, then no.

Добыча ликвидности - это популярная стратегия, используемая DAO для стимулирования поставщиков ликвидности и вознаграждения членов сообщества за вклад в платформу. Агрессивность добычи ликвидности может зависеть от целей DAO и толерантности к риску. Более агрессивный подход к добыче ликвидности может привести к более быстрому росту, но он также может увеличить волатильность и риск.

Предыдущие вопросы, поднятые в других общинах, могут сильно различаться, но некоторые общие включают в себя опасения по поводу прозрачности, управления и безопасности. DAO могут решить эти проблемы путем внедрения прозрачных процессов принятия решений, надежных протоколов безопасности и структур управления, управляемых сообществом.

В целом, цели DAO и подход к добыче ликвидности должны быть согласованы с потребностями и приоритетами его сообщества. DAO могут извлечь выгоду из включения обратной связи и вклада членов сообщества для обеспечения того, чтобы их стратегии и цели отражали ценности и интересы более широкой экосистемы.

Больше ничего
Компромисс между централизацией власти и способностью выполнять задачи является общей проблемой для любой организации, включая DAO. С одной стороны, централизация полномочий может обеспечить четкое руководство и принятие решений, что приведет к более быстрому исполнению и более эффективному использованию ресурсов. С другой стороны, слишком большая централизация может задушить инновации, ограничить участие и привести к принятию решений, которые не отражают потребности и приоритеты более широкого сообщества.

Hello, everyone! Nice to meet you!
We are iStake team - technical and creative/community sides of each project we participate in. Both of us have experience in DAO governance, leading communities and so much more!

Mohamed:
My name is Mokhamed. I am an experienced developer, validator, and node-runner on a lot of blockchains. In the crypto space, I have been for 2+ years and already know a lot. I learn more every single day. I am an individual validator, working on creating a non-custodial staking service “istake” (in development)
I have the ready infrastructure for rapid deployment of a new testnet or mainnet nodes in the most popular ecosystems (Polkadot substrate and Cosmos tendermint).

Furthermore, I have MA in Linguistics (Ukrainian and English) and many certificates that show my other specialties and skills.

I enjoy creating educational materials, especially animated presentations, videos, and voice-overs.

I primarily work on Medium, Discord, GitBook, Crowdin, and Twitter. However, I am familiar with many other social media websites and sources, like Dework, crew3, etc. Always eager to learn new things and sources!

In the crypto world, I have been since the end of 2020. Every day I read news and analytics, and create different types of content. I have been writing articles and creating other content for Manta Network, Agoric, Zeitgeist, Bifrost Finance, Moonbeam, Umee, Kresko Finance, Humanode, Sui Network, etc. I am also a community manager at Zeitgeist, the Lead of the Community DAO Committee at Umee (the Committee period has just finished), and in the leading group of ambassadors for Bifrost, Umee, and others.

Cryptocurrency is our future, there’s no doubt. And it would be amazing to become a part of a unique, growing project and community. Besides, having a flexible schedule and a lot of freedom is terrific!

I am more than sure that with your ideas and my skills and enthusiasm (and some new ideas as well), we could make this world a better place

Please share your stance on overall goals for the DAO:
As a prospective delegate for the DAO Arbitrum blockchain, my overall goal is to promote the growth and development of the community while ensuring that the interests of all members are represented. To achieve this, I believe that the DAO should prioritize initiatives that foster liquidity and encourage participation from a diverse range of stakeholders.

While liquidity mining can be a powerful tool for incentivizing participation and building momentum, I believe that it should be approached cautiously and with a long-term perspective. In my view, the primary goal of the DAO should be to create a sustainable and resilient ecosystem that can weather market fluctuations and adapt to changing conditions.

Regarding the issues that have been raised in other communities, I believe that it’s important to take a proactive and collaborative approach to addressing concerns and building trust. By engaging with members of other communities in a respectful and constructive manner, we can cultivate a culture of cooperation and mutual benefit that benefits everyone involved.

Ultimately, my stance on these issues is guided by a commitment to transparency, inclusivity, and responsible stewardship of the resources and assets entrusted to the DAO. As a delegate, I would work tirelessly to ensure that the community’s interests are represented and that the DAO continues to thrive and grow over the long term.

Sample Voting Issue 1:
As a delegate, I would vote against the Uniswap proposal as it currently stands. While I believe that bounties can be an effective way to attract new users to Uniswap, the proposal gives Flipside crypto too much control over the allocation of UNI and oversight of the program. In my view, this could lead to centralization of power and create an unfair advantage for Flipside.

Sample Voting Issue 2:
As a delegate, I believe that the Rari hack reimbursement situation is a complex issue that requires careful consideration and a nuanced approach. While I sympathize with those who were affected by the hack, I believe that it’s important to weigh the potential benefits and drawbacks of reimbursement carefully.

In my view, the decision of whether or not to reimburse parties affected by an exploit should be based on a number of factors, including the severity of the exploit, the impact on the community, and the feasibility of reimbursement. In some cases, full reimbursement may be appropriate if the exploit was particularly damaging or if it was the result of a systemic issue within the platform. However, in other cases, it may not be feasible or appropriate to provide full reimbursement.

Ultimately, I believe that the decision of whether or not to reimburse parties affected by an exploit should be made on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the unique circumstances of each situation. As a delegate, I would work to ensure that the interests of all members of the community are represented fairly and that decisions are made in a transparent and responsible manner.

I have a keen interest in Public Goods Funding, DeFi development, and Tools for gathering data. Regarding liquidity incentives, I think incentives should be use for introduce new platforms to newcomers while also imposing limits on bigger capitals. I believe that the ArbitrumDao should use incentives to promote awareness of Arbitrum-based dApps, and as a result, capital will naturally move in.

Regarding the sample issue, I vote against it. Instead, I suggest improving the proposal by adding solid milestones to the process and transferring an initial amount to Flipside after each milestone is achieved, followed by subsequent portions. This way, we can strike a balance between centralization of authority and the ability to get things done.

I am a native Turkish speaker and proficient in English, while also working to improve my Spanish (currently at A2 level). In terms of my personal interests, I have a background in data analysis (check out my Dune profile!), as well as a passion for Ancient Greek-Roman and Islamic philosophy, electronic dance music, and Russian literature.

Sample Voting Issue 1:
Issue Overview

Uniswap planned to use Flipside to attract new users to Uniswap through bounties. Although the program outline and funding was fine, the proposal was contentious because it gave Flipside crypto too much control over allocating UNI to bounties and oversight of the entire program.
For instance, Flipside had 3/7 seats on the allocation committee and 1/3 seats on the Oversight committee. There was also concern since none of the other analytics service providers were involved in the proposal.
This proposal flew under the radar but at the 11th hour got very heated. Large votes from university clubs supported the proposal since they would get a seat on the allocation committee. However, Dune and Leshner spoke up about the issue because of the centralization of power and favor of one service provider.

How would you vote?

What amendments would you make to the proposal if any?
The proposal would need to be considerate of the value driven vs the allocation. If the funding requested was only $50,000 to reach thousands of developers, or attract attention from university undergrads and clubs to drive innovation, then it would be worth because the control isnt relevant if the amounts reasonably low if the amount was higher than 2/7 would seem better and allow at most 1/3 for any position, if the purpose was to be Uniswap managed. DAOs need to be able to refer their control to other parties to operate efficiently so would depend on how many from the 3/7 were also Uniswap dels.
How would you approach the tradeoff between centralization of authority and the ability to get things done?
Hierarchy can be used to allow for oversight while allowing for autonomy in control for say having a committee to manage funding for projects, which controlled by the elected managers for the DAO who themselves are managed through the UniSwap or other token for a protocol.

FEI RARI Hack Reimbursement: In April 2022 Rari was hacked for 80M, a vote was passed to reimburse those affected. Then in May 2022 another vote to refund the Rari hacked was brought forward this time it was not passed.

Prompts to Answer:

Outside the flipping of the vote, how would you choose to handle this situation?
i.e should parties be reimbursed for an exploit or not? (Please choose one of the below options and then elaborate upon your reasoning)

Full Reimbursement
Please elaborate on what instances you believe it is right to refund and which are not.
Full reimbursement should be pref where able without killing the protocol. This should only be done in cases where the core protocol was directly involved so for say, a core part for Arbitrum like the DAO and say oracles run by the DAO get compromised causing other projects to be affected, yes compensate, but if a project thats large on Arbitrum were to be hacked, then no.
Disclosure of Conflict(s) of Interest:
Diversity of opinions is critical to making progress and determining the future direction of the
Arbitrum ecosystem. We recognize and celebrate the fact that delegates will have diverse views and we both encourage and anticipate good-faith debates in the governance process. That being said, it’s critical that all featured delegates are operating with Arbitrum’s best interest in mind, so please affirm that you don’t have any conflicts of interest that would prevent you from using your best judgement to operate in the best interests of advancing the Arbitrum ecosystem.

Other than my own personal projects there are no conflicts as do not hold any other L2 assets beyond small drops. Am purely here to get Crypto to be used and am network neutral. And while not an ARB maxi, will give a more neutral reasoning for the space rather than maxing the ecosystem at the expense of the space.

Добыча ликвидности - это популярная стратегия, используемая DAO для стимулирования поставщиков ликвидности и вознаграждения членов сообщества за вклад в платформу. Агрессивность добычи ликвидности может зависеть от целей DAO и толерантности к риску. Более агрессивный подход к добыче ликвидности может привести к более быстрому росту, но он также может увеличить волатильность и риск.

Предыдущие вопросы, поднятые в других общинах, могут сильно различаться, но некоторые общие включают в себя опасения по поводу прозрачности, управления и безопасности. DAO могут решить эти проблемы путем внедрения прозрачных процессов принятия решений, надежных протоколов безопасности и структур управления, управляемых сообществом.

В целом, цели DAO и подход к добыче ликвидности должны быть согласованы с потребностями и приоритетами его сообщества. DAO могут извлечь выгоду из включения обратной связи и вклада членов сообщества для обеспечения того, чтобы их стратегии и цели отражали ценности и интересы более широкой экосистемы.

Для
Больше ничего
Компромисс между централизацией власти и способностью выполнять задачи является общей проблемой для любой организации, включая DAO. С одной стороны, централизация полномочий может обеспечить четкое руководство и принятие решений, что приведет к более быстрому исполнению и более эффективному использованию ресурсов. С другой стороны, слишком большая централизация может задушить инновации, ограничить участие и привести к принятию решений, которые не отражают потребности и приоритеты более широкого сообщества.

Hello, everyone! Nice to meet you!
We are iStake team - technical and creative/community sides of each project we participate in. Both of us have experience in DAO governance, leading communities and so much more!

Mohamed:
My name is Mokhamed. I am an experienced developer, validator, and node-runner on a lot of blockchains. In the crypto space, I have been for 2+ years and already know a lot. I learn more every single day. I am an individual validator, working on creating a non-custodial staking service “istake” (in development)
I have the ready infrastructure for rapid deployment of a new testnet or mainnet nodes in the most popular ecosystems (Polkadot substrate and Cosmos tendermint).

My moniker for all my nodes: isavazh | istake#5039
Languages that I speak: Russian and Ukrainian (fluent) Arabic, France, German, English

I have joined many Cosmos projects as a testnet/mainnet validator, and have experience in using gorc / peggo etc. I am professionally engaged in the installation and maintenance of validator nodes and have a lot of experience in this area. By accepting me as a validator in your network, you can be sure that my validator will be updated in a timely manner, fully protected, with high uptime, and hot-reserved with the second node in case of problems with the main node.
Also, I’ve been participating in Umee’s Validator DAO Committee.

My experience:

At this time Active node with delegation in mainnet is:
UMEE “28m tokens delegation” - isavazh | istake#5039

Participation in testnets as a validator:
Agoric, Mina, Moonbeam, Hopr, SifChain, Bit.Country, Kyve Network, Zeitgeist (isavazh | istake#5039), Spacemesh (isavazh | istake#5039), Frontier (Chain test), Massa (isavazh | istake#5039), AssetMantle (isavazh | istake#5039), Chainflip (isavazh | istake#5039), Shardeum etc.

Everything is easy to confirm by server roles on Discord - validator status, or testnet participant

My Professional skill set:
I’m a Web Developer (Full Stack) and can be helpful because of my knowledge and experience. Here you can check some of my works, my Git: Savazh
Programmer(JS, Java, PHP, C#, C++, Python, Bash, Solidity different frameworks), Linux servers administration. Good knowledge of GitHub

I am more than sure that with my skill set, I will help to implement your ideas and vision into reality. Moreover, I am a very devoted and hard-working person, and if I believe in the project - I will be there till the end.
This would be an amazing opportunity for me to develop the project and meet new people with the same interests and passions.

Yuli:
Hey! My name is Yulia (Yuli), and it’s a pleasure to meet you all!

I am a community manager, content creator, educator, translator, and copywriter with experience in SMM. I have worked in these fields for over 7 years (mainly translating and writing). Furthermore, I have MA in Linguistics (Ukrainian and English) and many certificates that show my other specialties and skills.

I enjoy creating educational materials, especially animated presentations, videos, and voice-overs.

I primarily work on Medium, Discord, GitBook, Crowdin, and Twitter. However, I am familiar with many other social media websites and sources, like Dework, crew3, etc. Always eager to learn new things and sources!

In the crypto world, I have been since the end of 2020. Every day I read news and analytics, and create different types of content. I have been writing articles and creating other content for Manta Network, Agoric, Zeitgeist, Bifrost Finance, Moonbeam, Umee, Kresko Finance, Humanode, Sui Network, etc. I am also a community manager at Zeitgeist, the Lead of the Community DAO Committee at Umee (the Committee period has just finished), and in the leading group of ambassadors for Bifrost, Umee, and others.

Cryptocurrency is our future, there’s no doubt. And it would be amazing to become a part of a unique, growing project and community. Besides, having a flexible schedule and a lot of freedom is terrific!

I am more than sure that with your ideas and my skills and enthusiasm (and some new ideas as well), we could make this world a better place
