NFT development on Arbitrum

Improving Governance participation

Please share your stance on overall goals for the DAO:

This is a very broad question. My experience as the founder of ANDAO has taught me that DAOs are not only different from companies, but also different from communities. We often equate DAO with the community. Actually, it is not. The community is just a subordinate concept to a DAO, which is a community governance organization that eschews the centralized governance ways of a company. Therefore, governance is very important for DAOs. Lack of proper governance rules, then DAO can’t be called DAO, but only, community. So I think the ultimate goal of DAO is to explore a set of community governance rules that work, and to implement and protect all the rules through blockchain technology.

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

Sample Voting Issue 1:

Prompts to Answer:

How would you vote?

For! We are still in the very early days of DAO, so centralization and centralization of power are inevitable, and it will take us a decade or even decades to perfect the general rules of DAO. So don’t think about completely decentralizing all at once, that’s unrealistic and not necessarily good for the community and users.

What amendments would you make to the proposal if any?

Nope.

How would you approach the tradeoff between centralization of authority and the ability to get things done?
Embrace decentralization, but don’t be afraid of temporary centralization. Whether it’s a company, a DAO, or a community, a job requires one person to do it, and a task requires one person to complete it. So as long as we keep it open and transparent, and write the rights and obligations of the executors clearly inside the governance rules, this is not a problem. Giving proper incentives to the executors and having someone responsible for monitoring is a good rule.

Sample Voting Issue 2:

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
For general users, they join crypto mainly for profit. So protecting the safety of users’ money is the most important and basic thing. No matter how good we do in other aspects, if we can’t protect the safety of users’ money, then we are doomed to fail. That’s why full Reimbursement is necessary.

Languages I speak and write:
Chinese, & English

Disclosure of Conflict(s) of Interest:
I should be the person who cares most about the interests of Arbitrum other than the core team members of Arbitrum lol. All you need to do is look at the profile of ANDAO. ANDAO is a fun DAO on arbitrum purely run by donations and live for nearly two years. Our vision is to help all Arbitrum startup projects to build their initial community since we deeply know things are hardest at the beginning.

DeFi development on Arbitrum

NFT development on Arbitrum

Please share your stance on overall goals for the DAO:
In my opinion, the primary goal of the DAO should be to enhance liquidity mining effectiveness while maintaining decentralization, safeguarding member rights, and promoting sustainable development of the project. We should actively expand liquidity mining operations, ensuring fair competition and transparency, in order to attract more users to participate and increase the value of the project.

Sample Voting Issue 1:

  1. Against

  2. No amendments, just cancel it altogether.

  3. Consider these condensed strategies:

  • Foster collaboration and consensus-based decision-making.

  • Assign clear roles and responsibilities.

  • Implement governance mechanisms like voting and multi-signature contracts.

  • Establish checks and balances to distribute authority.

  • Embrace transparency in decision-making and communication.

  • Regularly reassess the balance between centralization and efficiency.

  • Leverage technology and automation to streamline operations.

  • Encourage a diverse and inclusive community.

  • Provide education and resources for informed decision-making.

  • Be willing to iterate and adapt the DAO’s structure as needed.

    By implementing these strategies, a DAO can achieve efficiency without compromising decentralization and community involvement.

Sample Voting Issue 2:
I choose option 3: Split Reimbursement. This approach balances the needs of affected users, financial sustainability, and security improvement for the DAO.

Reasoning:

  1. Shared responsibility between developers and users.

  2. Maintain the DAO’s financial sustainability.

  3. Incentivize security improvements.

  4. Refund appropriateness depends on the circumstances:

  • Appropriate: DAO or project team negligence.

  • Not appropriate: User disregard for warnings or risky behavior.

    A split reimbursement fairly addresses the issue while considering the DAO’s long-term prospects.

The goals of the DAO should reflect that of the community. This means an ever evolving and changes system to meet the needs of the community that supports it. It’s broad, but it’s important to remain connected and evolve with the community.

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.

  2. What amendments would you make to the proposal if any? None
  3. How would you approach the tradeoff between centralization of authority and the ability to get things done?
    It’s important to have clear leadership but also to not have power centralized in one location. Having members voted in a “board of trustees” with short terms that overlap one another could be a potential solution, with also a challenge to the board for any potential issues. You could also have board assistant who are trained to investigate and bring issues to the board to minimize the amount of noise so they can be as effective as possible.

Hi folks - it’s Flipside Crypto here :wave:

@Arbitrum wrote about us in the Sample Voting Example #1. Since then we’ve learned a lot and invested in Governance directly, creating a full-time team dedicated to the subject.

We now run delegation across 11 protocols & DAOs.

Today, we are excited to share our learnings and add Arbitrum to the list:

Sample Voting Issue 1:

  1. Abstain - we were directly involved in the vote.

Sample Voting Issue 2:

  1. Split reimbursement - while we do not think this reflects the most fair outcome, it considers the results of each vote and restores trust in users.

  2. DAOs must evaluate decisions with the end user in mind. By ignoring their needs, it deters future revenue streams and customer bases.

  • NFT development on Arbitrum
    -Gaming development on Arbitrum
  1. My stance on overall goals for the DAOs:
    The definite goal of DAO is always decentralization. The incentive of getting rewards by DAOs always comes from liquidity mining but it’s a high risk strategy.
    The goal of liquidity mining is to rewards but at a good ratio and it should be aligned with the needs and priorities of the member of community.

  2. Voting 1:
    *FOR
    *No amendments, just support that you should do it with a reasonable ratio
    *For any organization, including DAOs, the trade-off between centralization of authority and the capacity to accomplish tasks is a common challenge. One way that centralization of power can speed up execution and make better use of resources is by establishing clear leadership and decision-making. However, excessive centralization can stifle innovation, curtail participation, and result in decisions that don’t take the needs and priorities of the larger community into account.

Against

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

Flipside would need to be sufficiently decentralized and have a proper DAO framework to be even considered for this level of power over such a large project.

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

There are great examples of both fully decentralized DAOs, and their ability to filter and fasttrack development, but there are also great examples of centralized teams that get things done and are able to have the agility to develop fast.

In the growth phase of a project agility is important to sustain growth, but as the gov tokens disperse, they should aim to hand the keys over to a DAO.

putting the tag DAO on the name doesn’t cover this. The keys need to be burnt, or given to the DAO.

At the protocol level, “chain” it is much more important that as the project level.

    A DAO, or Decentralized Autonomous Organization operates based on smart contracts and runs on a blockchain. Its members can make decisions and manage the organization’s assets through a consensus mechanism.
    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.

Area of interest: I am particularly interested in supporting “Gaming development on Arbitrum”

Position on DAO’s overall goals:
The overall goals of a DAO can vary widely depending on the nature of the organization and the objectives of its members. Some DAOs focus on investing in blockchain projects, while others may prioritize social impact, governance, or even art. Ultimately, the goal of a DAO is to provide a decentralized platform for its members to collaborate and achieve their shared objectives without relying on traditional centralized systems.

Some potential overall goals for a DAO could include:

  1. Financial returns: DAOs may focus on investing in blockchain projects or cryptocurrencies with the aim of generating financial returns for their members.
  2. Governance: DAOs can provide a platform for decentralized decision-making, where members have a say in how the organization is run and what projects to pursue.
  3. Social impact: DAOs can also prioritize social impact by supporting initiatives that align with their values and mission.
  4. Innovation: DAOs can be a hub for innovation, where members can collaborate on new ideas and technologies, and experiment with new business models.

Ultimately, the overall goals of a DAO will depend on the interests and values of its members, and how they choose to use the decentralized platform to achieve their objectives.

Penn Blockchain (FranklinDAO) Delegate Profile

Introduction

Areas interested In: Improving Governance Participation, Tooling & Improving Protocol Decentralization and Community

Overview
Hello everyone! We’re Penn Blockchain/FranklinDAO a leading, completely student run blockchain organization with students from The University of Pennsylvania’s undergraduate and graduate schools. We have over 300 general body members and are expecting many more in the semesters to come!

We have committees covering Governance, Research, Education, Investments, and Development/Web3. On the governance side of things, our team has different members leading governance initiatives for different protocols we have delegations for. Current Penn Blockchain delegations include Aave, Compound, Uniswap, DyDx, Optimism, Maker, etc. Each week, governance leads will share updates with the club about new proposals and we will all debate about what to do before voting with our wallet.

Core Values
We are deeply committed to preserving defi’s core values, and will gear our voting decisions based on:

  1. Transparency: Committed to ensuring transparency of the protocol, and transparency about our decision-making process. We are committed to acting independently without external influence from third-parties. We’re always open to answering questions related to our votes on proposals, and will have a running thread up shortly to publicly display our opinions on votes.

  2. Sustainability: We are committed to ensuring the long term sustainability and health of the DAOs we participate in and aim to help them steward their native protocols in perpetuity.

  3. Inclusivity: Forging the best ideas requires diversity, fairness, and education, and we will strive to encourage these.

We’d love to be your Arbitrum delegate as many of us have been closely following the chain for a while now. Our weekly discussions combine graduates with years of expertise in many jurisdictions with many bright minded undergrads eager to leave their impact and names in Web3. We have upheld a 95%+ participation rate across all the other protocols we are delegates for and plan to spend a lot of time here as well to help build out the ecosystem!

  • Would vote to have funding come across different tranches, and have a clear and fair indication and process for committee elections

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.

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.
