Сфера интересов: меня особенно интересует поддержка развития инфраструктуры и улучшение децентрализации протокола.

Позиция в отношении общих целей DAO: я считаю, что DAO следует применять сбалансированный подход к достижению своих целей, в том числе проявлять агрессивность в добыче ликвидности, а также уделять первоочередное внимание безопасности и устойчивости платформы.

Позиция по ранее поднятым проблемам в других сообществах: я считаю, что важно тщательно учитывать опасения и отзывы различных сообществ и применять совместный подход к решению этих проблем.

estou mais interessado em Apoiar o desenvolvimento de infra-estrutura e NFT no Arbitrum

A mineração de liquidez é uma estratégia popular usada pelos DAOs para incentivar os provedores de liquidez e recompensar os membros da comunidade por contribuírem para a plataforma. A agressividade da mineração de liquidez pode depender dos objetivos e da tolerância a riscos de um DAO. Uma abordagem mais agressiva à mineração de liquidez pode levar a um crescimento mais rápido, mas também pode aumentar a volatilidade e o risco.

Questões anteriores levantadas em outras comunidades podem variar amplamente, mas algumas comuns incluem preocupações sobre transparência, governança e segurança. Os DAOs podem resolver esses problemas implementando processos transparentes de tomada de decisão, fortes protocolos de segurança e estruturas de governança orientadas pela comunidade.

No geral, os objetivos de um DAO e a abordagem da mineração de liquidez devem estar alinhados com as necessidades e prioridades de sua comunidade. Os DAOs podem se beneficiar da incorporação de feedback e contribuições dos membros da comunidade para garantir que suas estratégias e objetivos reflitam os valores e interesses do ecossistema mais amplo.

In general, the overall goals of a DAO may vary depending on the DAO’s particular mission and objectives. Some DAOs may focus on community building, while others may prioritize decentralization, innovation, or financial gains.

Regarding liquidity mining, the DAO may want to consider the potential benefits and risks associated with such programs. Liquidity mining can be an effective way to incentivize participation and encourage liquidity provision, but it may also result in market distortions, concentration of power, and potential regulatory scrutiny. As such, the DAO may want to take a measured and strategic approach to liquidity mining, considering the costs and benefits of such programs and aligning them with the DAO’s overall objectives.

Ultimately, the goal of the DAO should be to maximize the value and benefits for its stakeholders while adhering to its core values and principles. By fostering a culture of transparency, participation, and accountability, the DAO can empower its members to work collaboratively and make informed decisions that align with the DAO’s long-term interests.

Areas - DeFi development; tooling, improving protocol decentralization

Personal Background - former Head of Business and Operations for Commonwealth (DAO governance platform for dYdX, Osmosis, 1inch, Terra, Axie, and more. Previously the founder of Everipedia, decentralized knowledge platform (raised $30M from Galaxy). Active contributor in dYdX governance ecosystem.

Goals for Arbitrum DAO

  1. Facilitating the development of a complete and robust dapp ecosystem
  • DeFi - Lending, Swaps/Stableswaps, Derivatives/Options, Stablecoin, RWAs
  • NFTs - Marketplaces, Minting, Community Engagement Tools
  • DAOs - Delegate Community, Voting Interfaces, Reputation Scoring
  • Infra - Wallets, Bridges, Analytics, Tax Tooling
  1. Making sustainable investments in ecosystem growth
  • While defi yields are low there is an opportunity to be the highest paying pool at a sustainable rate. Yields on stables are less than T-bills This cost-benefit should look to balance: total expense, net increase in TVL and volume, net increase in active wallets, fees generated.
  • We should have a preference for smalls grants tied to dev labor for explicit creation of open source software and equity investments in projects. The Ethereum Foundation has done a great job of maximizing their budget by not investing in grants or equity too heavily and thereby making it the job of the founders to get VC funding. This amplifies the resources of the ecosystem and ensures we make calculated bets on OSS and promising equities in the ecosystem.
  1. Provide LP capital for early projects
  • LP capital is becoming harder to come by and thereby it is harder to bootstrap new defi projects or new deployments in other ecosystems. We can help attract builders by bootstrapping their LP base with the implication that they must pass audits, be building a net new product for us, and are committed to the Arbitrum ecosystem.

Voting Issue #1
Against
I think the fact the community tapped into a new issue at the 11th hour means the topic should be discussed more heavily before being sent to a vote. I would amend the proposal to allocate 2 seats to Flipside on the allocation committee and give 1 seat to a representative selected by the community (likely from one of the other analytics providers, but not necessarily). I would also ensure that the multisig requires at least 2 non-Flipside signatures in order to execute.
I think it’s incredible important to help DAO operators get things done and do their jobs. I am a big believer in the sub-DAO model where the DAO has a thorough discussion about parameters for a project led by a task force. It’s also important to reduce governance fatigue to keep voter turnout high, so minimizing voting decisions and empowering operators is the best path forward.

Voting Issue #2

  1. Full reimbursement
    The biggest issue around the reimbursement was actually prior with the merge. Fei did a big merger and supposed to be building a big ecosystem, but spent a lot of money for most of the Rari core team to quit immediately. Thereby they spent a lot of money for open source code that they now are committing to keep-up and support. This left a bad taste in Fei’s mouth regarding Rari. This + not wanting to endanger the main Fei product/community during a market downturn led them to want to reneg on their commitments. Generally speaking, based on all of the levels of commitment Fei gave to supporting Rari holders, they needed to follow through with their commitment.

That being said, in a broader hack/refund circumstance, I believe it is the project’s responsibility to mitigate all possible risks via audits, insurance, bug bounties, etc., but that pending malfeasance, negligence, or previous commitments the team cannot be held responsible.

Please share your stance on overall goals for the DAO:
The goals of Arbitrum DAO should be geared towards enabling communities and DAOs building on Arbitrum to achieve their goals while providing the best support we can as a DAO. This includes using the DAO’s resources to onboard and support new projects both in terms of technical development as well as onboarding communities, bring greater visibility for existing projects and also create incentives for P2P networks to thrive in a self sustained economy without using centralized entities like exchanges.

Please share your stance on issues that were raised previously, in other communities, as described below:

Sample Voting Issue 1:
Issue Overview

My Answers:

  1. How would you vote?
    I would vote FOR the proposal as even though it brings about some degree of centralization of power, ultimately Flipside would help Uniswap achieve the goal of attracting new users. Moreover, the vote doesnt preclude other participants from obtaining their own share of bounties to further the same goal.
  2. What amendments would you make to the proposal if any?
    I would propose a similar vote with other parties who are able to bring new users to also access similar bounties.
  3. How would you approach the tradeoff between centralization of authority and the ability to get things done?
    In my view, the ability to get things done matters more to early stage DAOs, as often times things get stuck in a loop of repetitive debates for a long time, while the immediate objectives and goals of the proposal take a back seat. While network level decentralization is ultimately very important, in terms of execution there can be some leeway so as enable greater execution.

My Answers:

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)

In this situation, there are multiple parties which share the responsibilities for the loss of funds, hence a split re-imbursement will be ideal

Please elaborate on what instances you believe it is right to refund and which are not.
I believe it would be right for a DAO to refund victims of a hack if there is wide consensus that the DAO was responsible in some part for the loss of funds. In many situations, it is not possible for the DAO to refund, however to the extent it is financially possible, and a solution can be achieved that takes into account the considerations of all the parties, all the parties must strive towards bringing such a proposal to fruition.

•Please share your stance on overall goals for the DAO:

As Vitalik said large token holders (individual or a company) has too much influence on the vote. I think voting system should be like this:
Anyone with more then 10 ARB will be able vote but it will has a impact of 1. Well whales could spread 10 ARB to thousands of wallets but it will cost them least 0.20¢ each transaction.
I think main usage for the ARB token should be to decentralize the rollup. As you can agree Arbitrum right now is somewhat centralized. I am not a tech person but as i have read Sequencer could be decentralized with token (by giving the person running an sequencer small ARB rewards). Overall giving everyone the power of being in the Arbitrum Security Council is cool.

• Uniswap - Flipside

I would be against for this proposal. First of all giving all power to one analytics provider seems very centralized. This is like projects using CMC api instead of Chainlink oracles. Secondly the UNI allocation seems much to me.

By the way i just remembered something from 2021. Uniswap gave an grant to a project called DeFi Education Fund 20 million dollars. They were supposed to educate, introduce, teach people about defi. https://twitter.com/fund_defi/status/1414704889897394178?t=M6N6c1fCItezdMH0g5s3AA&s=19
Funny thing they have been allocated for 5 years but they instantly dumped all the UNI’s. 1 year has passed and i have not heard of them not even a single time. I’m browsing CT everyday. Similar with Flipside situation an university voted with 10 million tokens for their own good.

•What amendments would you make to the proposal if any?

I really cant tell much about this question. I am not into DeFi analyzing tools like nansen ai or dune nor know how much bounty they need.

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

Decentralization is the only way.

• FEI RARI Hack Reimbursement

•Outside the flipping of the vote, how would you choose to handle this situation?

Whole situation seems very compilacted as it impacted both individual victims and DAO’s. I think giving individuals FEI and giving DAO’s DAI looks very unfair. There shouldnt be a split. Also I’m not a fan of giving small balance victims more and whales less. Everyone should get their payback equal.

Im most interested in NFT development on Arbitrum.

Im 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.

  1. Against.
    2.Nothing more.
    3.The tradeoff between centralization of authority and the ability to get things done is a common challenge for any organization, including DAOs. On one hand, centralization of authority can provide clear leadership and decision-making, leading to faster execution and more efficient use of resources. On the other hand, too much centralization can stifle innovation, limit participation, and lead to decision-making that does not reflect the needs and priorities of the wider community.

Stance on overall goals for the DAO

Our overall goals for the DAO are to create a thriving developer ecosystem, innovate mechanisms for coordination and drive sustainable user growth. As a delegate, we are committed to transparency and inclusivity and will ensure that the community’s interests are best represented so that the DAO continues to thrive in the long term.

Sample Voting Issue 1:

We would be against this issue. It puts too much power and trust in the hands of Flipside. The incentives are poorly aligned as they would be borrowing $25m to generate yield for their own purpose, taking a 0% to 50% cut of fees from that.

While community-enabled analytics is a good idea, the community has already proven that it can achieve similar levels of impact with far less draw down from the treasury. As an example, in April 2021, Flipside built the Uniswap V3 Calculator - driving user growth and activity for Uniswap for only $25k.

Furthermore, the management of funds to generate yield, and the use of funds for community purposes should not be mixed together within one proposal. The proposal should be amended by a simple request of funds for their purpose and to a much lesser amount <US $100K with periodic reviews.

The tradeoff between centralization of authority and the ability to get things done should be managed by enabling low-risk initiatives more freedom and looser management, but with structures in place for periodic check-ins e.g. bi-monthly meetings for community review. This allows the community to move fast, while also ensuring that it is moving in the right direction.

Sample Voting Issue 2:

We believe that no reimbursements should be made. While making innocent users whole is important, the cost of reimbursements is likely to significantly drain a DAO’s treasury or even be insufficient for full reimbursement. The funds should instead be proactively used for more extensive audits or possibly to purchase limited insurance for smaller depositors.

As a potential representative of the DAO Arbitrum blockchain, my overall goal is to facilitate the growth and development of the community while ensuring the representation of the interests of all members.

  2. To address concerns about centralization of power, the DAO could adjust the composition of committees or establish clear criteria for decision-making. This could involve reducing Flipside’s seats or including other providers. Additionally, criteria for allocation could be established and reporting or an independent oversight committee could be required. The goal of any amendments should be to promote transparency, fairness, and inclusivity while ensuring the program’s effectiveness.

  3. To balance the need for efficient decision-making with the risk of centralization of power, a DAO should establish clear guidelines and processes for decision-making, while ensuring that power is distributed fairly. This can be achieved by promoting transparency, fairness, and inclusivity in decision-making and encouraging diverse participation. It’s important to have independent oversight committees or regular reporting and auditing of decision-making processes to minimize the risk of centralization. Ultimately, finding the right balance will depend on the specific context and goals of the DAO.

Sample Voting Issue 2 - Rari Hack Reinbursement

The decision to reimburse parties affected by an exploit would depend on the specific circumstances of the case, including the severity of the exploit, the impact on affected parties, and the financial impact on the DAO or other entities involved. In some cases, a full reimbursement may be warranted if the exploit caused significant harm and the affected parties can demonstrate that they acted in good faith and followed established procedures.

In other cases, a split reimbursement or no reimbursement may be more appropriate, particularly if the affected parties were aware of the risks and took actions that exacerbated the impact of the exploit. The decision would need to balance the needs of affected parties with the long-term financial sustainability and viability of the DAO or other entities involved.

Ultimately, the decision to reimburse parties affected by an exploit should be made through a transparent and accountable process that involves input from all relevant stakeholders, including affected parties, DAO members, and the wider community. This would help to ensure that the decision is based on a full understanding of the circumstances and is aligned with the values and goals of the DAO or other entities involved.

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.

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.

Sample Voting Issue 1:

  • 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.

Areas of interest:

  • Improving Governance participation
  • Supporting Infrastructure
  • Tooling, Improving protocol decentralization

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.

Sample Voting Issue 1:

  1. Against
  2. No amendments, just cancel it altogether.
  3. 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.

I would say Public Goods funding and Improving Governance participation.

Please share your stance on overall goals for the DAO:

  • to increase community involvement and decision-making power, promote decentralization, and enhance the overall functioning and success of the project.

Sample Voting Issue 1:

However, in general, it is important to consider the balance between centralization and efficiency when making decisions. While centralization can enable faster decision-making, it can also lead to power imbalances and decreased community participation. Therefore, any amendments to the proposal should prioritize increasing transparency and community involvement while still allowing for efficient implementation.

Sample Voting Issue 2:
It would depend on the specific circumstances of the hack and the impact on the affected parties. In general, it is important to balance the needs of the affected parties with the overall health and sustainability of the project. Full reimbursement may not always be feasible or sustainable, but partial reimbursement or other forms of compensation may be appropriate in certain cases. Ultimately, any decision should be made with transparency and community input to ensure fairness and accountability.

  • Phát triển DeFi trên Arbitrum
  • Cải thiện sự tham gia của quản trị
    Lập trường mục tiêu cho DAO:
    Chúng ta đã biết rằng: mục đích của DAO là cho phép sự phát triển lành mạnh và phi tập trung của tổng số. Tất nhiên, tầm nhìn này có thể đòi hỏi nhiều khía cạnh khác nhau, từ các phần tập trung vào kỹ thuật và bảo mật hơn của bản cập nhật (mà DAO nên giám sát) để khuyến khích phát triển một hệ sinh thái lành mạnh và tăng trưởng với mã thông báo ARB.
    Nhìn chung, các mục tiêu của DAO và cách tiếp cận khai thác thanh khoản phải phù hợp với nhu cầu và ưu tiên của cộng đồng. DAO có thể hưởng lợi từ việc kết hợp phản hồi và đầu vào từ các thành viên cộng đồng để đảm bảo rằng các chiến lược và mục tiêu của họ phản ánh các giá trị và lợi ích của hệ sinh thái rộng lớn hơn.

2.Không có gì hơn
3.Sự đánh đổi giữa tập trung quyền lực và khả năng hoàn thành công việc là một thách thức chung đối với bất kỳ tổ chức nào, bao gồm cả DAO. Một mặt, tập trung quyền lực có thể mang lại khả năng lãnh đạo và ra quyết định rõ ràng, dẫn đến việc thực thi nhanh hơn và sử dụng các nguồn lực hiệu quả hơn. Mặt khác, tập trung hóa quá nhiều có thể kìm hãm sự đổi mới, hạn chế sự tham gia và dẫn đến việc ra quyết định không phản ánh nhu cầu và ưu tiên của cộng đồng rộng lớn hơn.

  • Gaming development on Arbitrum
  • Supporting Infrastructure

Regarding the overall goals of the DAO, it depends on the DAO’s specific objectives and priorities. Still, generally speaking, the primary goal of a DAO is to enable decentralized decision-making and collective ownership, where members can participate in decision-making processes and have a say in how the DAO operates.

Regarding liquidity mining, the aggressiveness of the strategy will depend on the DAO’s resources, objectives, and risk tolerance. Liquidity mining can be an effective way to incentivize users to provide liquidity to the DAO’s pools, but it also carries risks, such as impermanent loss and volatility.

Regarding the voting issue, if I were a member of the DAO, I would consider the potential risks and benefits of the proposal and vote accordingly. If I believed that the proposal would benefit the DAO and its users, I would vote for it. Still, if I had concerns about the centralization of power and the favoring of one service provider over others, I would vote against it or propose amendments to address these concerns.

Regarding amendments to the proposal, I would suggest reducing the amount of control given to Flipside and increasing the involvement of other analytics service providers. For example, instead of having Flipside control the allocation committee, the DAO could establish a more decentralized approach that involves multiple service providers.

Regarding the tradeoff between centralization of authority and the ability to get things done, it’s essential to find a balance that ensures effective decision-making without compromising the DAO’s decentralized structure. One approach is to distribute decision-making power among multiple stakeholders and establish clear guidelines and processes for decision-making. Additionally, transparency and accountability are crucial to ensure that all members have a say in how the DAO operates.

  • NFT
  • DeFi development on Arbitrum

Please share your stance on overall goals for the DAO:

A DAO, or decentralized autonomous organization, has a fundamental purpose: to foster the healthy and decentralized development of the rollup. This encompasses a variety of aspects, ranging from technical and security-focused sections of the rollup, which the DAO should oversee, to promoting the growth of a healthy ecosystem and ARB token.

In essence, every decision the DAO makes should return to the question: how does this benefit the long-term sustainability and success of not only the ARB token, but also the broader future of rollups?

With this guiding principle, the DAO can explore different roles it could assume in the broader Arbitrum ecosystem. However, this requires careful decision-making and balancing the interests of all stakeholders. Some examples include technical protocol and security upgrades, liquidity mining, and grants for builders.

In terms of technical protocol and security upgrades, the DAO must have oversight over what the protocol will develop into and all the layers that are part of the Arbitrum ecosystem. One potential solution is to establish a technical subcommittee that oversees this side of governance and reports back to the wider DAO.

Liquidity mining can assist with short-term growth and user acquisition, but it should not be a permanent fixture of any protocol. Subsidizing protocols for too long through unsustainable emissions could lead to an unhealthy subsidy of protocols.

Finally, grants are a crucial part of the DAO that target builders. Grants must be handled carefully and require a degree of social trust from both the DAO and the builders. Builders must demonstrate accountability and deliverables for the amount of the grant.

In summary, the DAO’s mission is to ensure the long-term sustainability and success of the ARB token and the broader future of rollups. By carefully balancing the interests of stakeholders and exploring different roles, the DAO can achieve this mission and contribute to the growth of the Arbitrum ecosystem.

Sample Voting Issue 1 - UniSwap/Flipside Bounty

How would you vote?

I would vote in favor of the proposal due to the necessity of delegation of voting power for efficient functioning of a DAO. However, I would suggest making some amendments to the proposal.

Firstly, I would recommend separating the grants into quarterly distributions instead of just dividing it into Year 1 and Year 2, as it would be more practical to have routine votes to ensure the DAO’s comfort with such a large allocation.

Secondly, I would suggest introducing checkpoints across the delegation period to encourage the grantee to increase accountability and deliver accountability reports.

When considering the tradeoff between centralization of authority and the ability to get things done, I believe that it is necessary for a DAO to have centralizing points only when specialists are required to act knowledgeable and quickly, and the entities to do this should be trusted members of the space. While centralization brings a degree of centralization, as long as they do not control an excessive amount of the larger DAO and there are sufficient accountability measures in place, it can be a useful tool for the development of the DAO.

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)

I would choose to handle the situation by offering a partial reimbursement. Hacks and loss of funds remain significant obstacles to the adoption of blockchain technology, and they threaten the concept of financial legos, making it more difficult for new users to join the space. As such, it is essential to consider providing some form of reimbursement to parties who have entrusted the security of their smart contracts to the protocol. This could be seen as a way of expressing gratitude for their trust and dedication.

However, I would advise against offering a full reimbursement, particularly if the hack has already caused significant damage to the protocol. In such cases, a full reimbursement could lead to a negative death spiral for the DAO, which could be just as catastrophic as a second hack. Instead, it would be better to provide enough compensation to acknowledge the participants’ involvement in the system while also ensuring that the impact of the hack is not worsened.

To summarize, it is appropriate to provide some form of reimbursement in instances where parties have cooperated with the protocol, but a full reimbursement should be avoided if it would negatively affect the DAO. In the future, DAO insurance protocols could be developed to handle similar situations more effectively.
