I am most interested in NFT Development on Arbitrum.

Sample Issue Voting 1:
I would be ā€œagainstā€ such a proposal for a simple reason that it contradicts the basic principle of decentralisation and DAO and gives more power to one protocol.

Sample Voting Issue 2:
I would in favour of partial reimbursement. Since the system got hacked, it is the responsibility of the team to be accountable to the issue that led to hacking, but also the users are aware of the risks and it was their decision to risk their assets.

Hello, esteemed developers and community.
My name is Igor. I am a creative member of BlackAmberTeam (BAT). Our team consists of 8 people and has been tracking early stage projects, testing them and engaging the community to test and promote the product for more than 3 years. Educational seminars and face-to-face meetings are held. During this time we have actively interacted with 38 different projects and developers.

At the beginning of our journey, our team was involved in writing smart contracts. Gradually it started capturing our minds and we started testing the ecosystem products. Itā€™s very exciting. It will continue to be in the future. Itā€™s related to the supporting infrastructure.

Please share your take on the overall goals of DAO:
For example, how aggressive should we be in extracting liquidity, what is the goal of DAO?
The goal of DAO is to shut down the human factor in making poor decisions aimed at causing short-term or long-term damage both financially and to the interests of the community.

Please share your position on issues that have been raised previously in other communities, as described below:

Sample voting question 1:
Review Question 102
Uniswap planned to use Flipside to attract new users to Uniswap through rewards. Although the program scheme and funding were fine, the proposal was controversial because it gave Flipside cryptocurrency too much control over the distribution of UNI for rewards and oversight of the entire program.
For example, Flipside had 3/7 seats on the distribution committee and 1/3 on the oversight committee. There was also concern because none of the other analytics providers participated in the proposal.
This proposal flew by unnoticed, but it got very hot at 11 oā€™clock. A large number of university clubs supported the proposal because they would get a seat on the allocation committee. However, Dune and Leshner spoke out because of the centralization of power and support for one provider.

Invites you to answer:
How would you vote?
Against

What amendments, if any, would you make to the proposal?
A distribution so significant for one Flipside should not be possible. My suggestions: use the veto power in the allocation committee to create conditions under which the distribution of awards will not be manipulated for its own purposes.

How would you approach the trade-off between centralization of power and the ability to get things done?
Use of the veto on the committee

Reimbursement for the FEI RARI hack: in April 2022, Rari was hacked for 80 million, a vote was held to reimburse those affected. Then in May 2022, another vote was taken to reimburse the cost of the hacked Rari, this time it was not passed.

Suggests a response:
What would you decide to do in this situation, other than flip votes?
I.e. should the parties be compensated for the exploit or not?

Separate reimbursement.
Reimbursement is the right thing to do when there is an error in sharing the risk of liability for the funds. It may be possible to consider deposit insurance for amounts according to prearranged valuation criteria.

Languages spoken and written: English, German, Russian and Ukrainian

Potential Conflict of Interest:
Neither I nor my cat have any conflicts of interest. Sometimes, of course, the cat can be unbearable. But I promise to let the team know if my cat moves in with my aunt.
Requests to delegates:

Please share your stance on overall goals for the DAO:

The goal of the DAO is to give ARB holders the power to vote on key decisions governing Arbitrum One and Arbitrum Nova ā€“ networks that allow users to transact on the Ethereum blockchain with greater speeds and lower fees.

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

I personally donā€™t think that liquidity mining is any good in this case. I think itā€™s a little too risky and will create a lot of volatility.

Sample Voting Issue 1:

  1. How would you vote?

Against

  1. What amendments would you make to the proposal if any?

I believe that DAO should prioritize the security and sustainability of the platform.
Make sure itā€™s truly decentralized and not governed by a smaller entity.

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

On one side a range variety of individuals can collectively come together from around the world to act as a single entity but on the other it often takes longer for decisions to be made as there are more voting participants. I think there should be a balance between the two but never give all the power to the smaller governing entity.

Sample Voting Issue 2:

  1. Full Reimbursement

A DAO must ensure the safety for all its members. In case of a hack everyone should be reimbursed

My two areas of interest are as follows: -

(a) Improving Governance participation

(b) IRL Arbitrum community gatherings

My stance on overall goals for DAO:

I think a DAO should have decentralization as its core tenet. We have started in the right direction by distributing tokens to the users who have contributed to the Arbitrum Ecosystem. DAO represents a new paradigm in organizational structure, one that is decentralized, transparent, and community-driven. We should never lose focus on our community. AMAs and IRL get togethers are a good way to achieve that.

Sample Voting Issue 1 - Against
2 - Nothing more to add
3 - I think this is a big challenge that every DAO has to face. In present scenario
accounts who are first or have money are able to dominate the voting. I think in a
council comprising of respectable members of the community may able to solve
this issue.

Sample Voting Issue 2 - No Reimbursement.

We know that defi is a dark forest and ā€œCode is Lawā€ is sword with two edges. Reimbursement sets a wrong precedent, it takes money to run a big organisation and we cannot reimburse every protocol that gets hacked onchain.

Languages I speak and write: English, Hindi, Punjabi.

I hereby affirm that I donā€™t have any conflicts of interest that would prevent me from using my best judgement to operate in the best interests of advancing the Arbitrum ecosystem.

Improving Governance participation

Please share your stance on overall goals for the DAO:
I am strong on community-driven decision making and sustainability.

Sample Voting Issue 1:
Prompts to Answer:

How would you vote?
I will vote against the proposal as it appears to give too much control to a single service provider. The proposal could result in centralization of power and favoritism towards Flipside, which could potentially harm the overall decentralized nature of the Uniswap platform.

What amendments would you make to the proposal if any?

A revision of the allocation committee and oversight committee to have a more balanced distribution of power among service providers. Also, a clause could be added to the proposal, stipulating that if Flipside fails to meet certain performance metrics, its position could be reviewed, and other analytics service providers could be considered for the role.

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

The potential concentration of power could lead to centralization, which may not align with the overall principles of the Uniswap platform. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that any decisions made are in line with the principles of decentralization and sustainability.

Sample Voting Issue 2:

I will support Full Reimbursement: I believe users should not be punished for something that was out of their control. If a hack or exploit occurred due to a vulnerability in the system, users should not be held responsible for the loss of their assets. This can help maintain trust and confidence in the network and prevent users from abandoning the platform.

Example Issue 2 for Voting

That entirely relies on the source of the reimbursement. I would vote in favor of adding a self-executable on-chain transfer block to the amount that was stolen and remitting it to the accounts of the parties who were harmed. No, not if token holders and other network users were to foot the bill. It is unacceptable to spread losses over a wide group of people when it is obvious that only a handful of people are accountable for both the vulnerable code and the money theft.

Please share your stance on overall goals for the DAO:
I believe that the goal of DAO is to establish a strong culture and set of beliefs. DAO serves as a spiritual and cultural symbol for people, representing their choices for the future. Additionally, DAO offers transparency and democracy that traditional organizations lack. All DAO members are equal, with the right to voice their opinions and submit proposals to contribute their ideas.
In summary, DAO represents a new cultural paradigm and carrier that can significantly change the way people develop.

Sample 1:
I will vote against.
To reduce control, it is necessary to decrease Flipsideā€™s seats on the allocation committee. Additionally, the proposal would benefit from the inclusion of more analytical service providers.
This question requires a case-by-case analysis. In general, we need a certain amount of power to mobilize resources as we move forward. To prevent power abuse, we can set thresholds for relevant stakeholders to unlock corresponding power according to their needs. After each stage is completed, the organization should retrieve the corresponding power in a timely manner.

  1. DeFi development on Arbitrum
  2. NFT development on Arbitrum

My stance on overall goals for the DAO:

I believe the DAO should strike a balance between aggressive and conservative approaches in liquidity mining. We should be aggressive enough to attract more users and projects to the ecosystem while ensuring that the incentives are sustainable and long-term focused. The primary goal of the DAO should be to foster a thriving ecosystem on Arbitrum by supporting the development of innovative DeFi and NFT projects, promoting decentralization, and engaging the community in effective governance.

My stance on issues raised previously, in other communities:

  1. High gas fees and network congestion: I support the development and integration of Layer 2 scaling solutions like Arbitrum, which help mitigate these issues by providing lower transaction costs and faster processing times. Further improvements can be made by optimizing smart contracts and exploring additional scaling technologies.
  2. Governance token distribution: I believe that a fair and transparent token distribution model is crucial to ensure the long-term success and decentralization of the DAO. The distribution should consider factors such as community contribution, project support, and long-term commitment.
  3. Security and exploits: The DAO should prioritize the security of the ecosystem by actively funding and supporting regular audits, bug bounties, and collaborating with security researchers to ensure the safety of all projects built on Arbitrum.
  4. Centralization risks: Itā€™s important to actively work on reducing centralization risks by encouraging the development of open-source, community-driven projects and tools, as well as promoting a decentralized governance structure.
  5. Intellectual property rights: The DAO should promote responsible NFT creation and trading by educating users about intellectual property rights and supporting projects that enforce these rights in a fair and transparent manner.
  6. Environmental impact: The community should be proactive in supporting research and development of energy-efficient solutions to reduce the environmental impact of blockchain technology, such as adopting proof-of-stake consensus mechanisms or exploring more eco-friendly Layer 2 solutions.

Sample Voting Issue 1

How would I vote?

  • Against

What amendments would I make to the proposal, if any?

  1. Reduce Flipsideā€™s control over the allocation and oversight committees. A more equitable distribution of seats should be pursued, with representation from multiple analytics service providers and community members. This would help prevent centralization and favoritism towards a single service provider.
  2. Include other analytics service providers like Dune Analytics in the proposal, promoting collaboration, transparency, and a more balanced approach to the program.
  3. Establish clear guidelines and criteria for allocating UNI to bounties, ensuring that the process is transparent and objective, without any undue influence from specific stakeholders.

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

Striking the right balance between centralization and decentralization is crucial for the long-term success of the DAO. While centralized decision-making can help expedite processes, it can also lead to single points of failure, bias, and lack of transparency.

To approach this tradeoff, I would advocate for the following:

  1. Implement a multi-signature approval system for critical decisions, involving a diverse group of stakeholders.
  2. Encourage community involvement in the decision-making process through open forums, discussions, and voting.
  3. Establish a rotating committee structure, where members from different backgrounds and expertise can contribute to various aspects of the DAO.

This way, we can maintain a balance between efficient decision-making and decentralized authority, promoting a more resilient and transparent ecosystem.

Area of Interest: DeFi development on Arbitrum and Tooling

In my opinion, the DAO should have a balanced approach to liquidity mining, where the rewards incentivize participation but donā€™t compromise the long-term sustainability of the ecosystem. I believe the DAOā€™s goal should be to foster a healthy and inclusive community that encourages innovation and experimentation while ensuring security and transparency.

Regarding the previous issues, in Sample Voting Issue 1, I would vote against the proposal as it gives too much control to one service provider. If I were to make amendments, I would suggest involving other analytics service providers in the proposal and reducing the number of seats for Flipside on the allocation and oversight committees.

Regarding the tradeoff between the centralization of authority and the ability to get things done, I would suggest finding a middle ground where decision-making is decentralized, but there are clear guidelines and protocols in place.

In Sample Voting Issue 2, I believe parties affected by the exploit should receive full reimbursement. However, there should be a clear process in place to prevent future exploits and address any concerns about security.

I speak and write fluently in English and have a basic understanding of Spanish. I donā€™t have any conflicts of interest that would prevent me from using my best judgment to operate in the best interests of advancing the Arbitrum ecosystem.
