Intro to Tané
Tané is formed with a group of crypto-native product builders, based in Tokyo, Dubai and New York. We are backed by SoftBank, and Japanese tech giants like DeNA, GREE, MIXI, and closely work with the big Japanese enterprises and have great relationship with Japanese crypto communities.
Our investment arm has invested in and supported various innovating projects that contribute to the decentralized society enabled by the new blockchain technology. Our network operation entity started directly contributing to the ecosystem by being validators for the core infrastructures and protocols that make Web3 move forward and contributors to the DAOs that manage them.
Why we chose to be an Arbitrum delegate
There are many users and traders using L2 chains in Japan, but there are no prominent delegates who actively participate in and contribute to DAO governance from Japan yet. We are aiming to be the one who represents the Japanese users and token holders by being active in the governance, leveraging the partnership with Japanese enterprises and making meaningful impacts on the protocols and the ecosystem.
We have also believe that our unique experience and expertises outlined below should contribute to critical feedback and comments on technical upgrades and issues to be discussed and implemented by collaborating with Offchain Labs and other development contributors.
Our skills and areas of expertise
We are a group of crypto-native product builders and entrepreneurs who have experienced in building products as well as being in the crypto space long enough to understand the importance of building great products and achieving the decentralization and empowerment of individuals.
- Takeshi, Head of Network Operations, who worked for Twitter as a software engineer and for SmartNews, a Japanese unicorn startup that provides a news aggregation mobile app with 30M MAU as a product manager.
- Ikuma, CEO, who was 2x serial entrepreneur in Web2, investment & financing at SoftBank, and actively investing in the crypto since 2014.
Sample Voting Issue 1
Issue Overview: Uniswap X Flipside
Prompts to Answer
How would you vote?
We would vote AGAINST the proposal because too many seats are occupied by Flipside, but we would admit that Flipside would have one seat in the allocation committee or the oversight committee. If the # of seats for the oversight committee is increased to 5 or more, it would be acceptable but generally, the DAO should avoid the structure with the clear conflicts of interest at any cost.
What amendments would you make to the proposal if any?
Before making any amendments from our side, “This proposal flew under the radar but at the 11th hour got very heated.” this indicates that the DAO didn’t go through enough discussions to reach the consensus on the right structure and limitations that needed to introduce. All active delegates should be responsible to make proposals have enough attentions, discussions and feedback before moving into a vote.
We would suggest that the program starts with its pilot phase as a number of programs in the Arbitrum DAO do; 6-months period, a minimum budget, experimentations on KPIs and program management and a clear feedback period to make the program official with much more contexts for potential contributors to be attracted into the program.
How would you approach the tradeoff between centralization of authority and the ability to get things done?
We would rather allow centralization to achieve goals quickly than perfecting decentralization of DAO’s structure. For example, in the above example, we would accept that no oversight committee is established in the pilot period. The DAO can evaluate the program itself and also the suitability of Flipside and other contributors; with the official program, who should be in the operational committee, oversight committee, program management party etc.
Sample Voting Issue 2
FEI RARI Hack Reimbursement
Prompts to Answer
Outside the flipping of the vote, how would you choose to handle this situation? Split Reimbursement
Protocol exploits are definitely unfortunate events to the protocol and its users, but, the softwares can’t be bug-free and we believe this is a risk that the users have to acknowledge. Though it depends on the DAO’s governance process, Snapshot should be generally used for temperature checks, not the actual binding decisions. Thus, we would consider it acceptable to be flipped and the DAO should decide on the reimbursement details, either full or how much fund to be reimbursed if not full.

Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest
Our investment arm has invested in a number of crypto startups but as of the time of writing this profile, we don’t believe there are clear COIs in terms of contributing to Arbitrum. We are also active in the other DAOs, Optimism (S6 Grants Council member), Lido, and Uniswap.
