Title: Dispute
User name: @maxlomu
I think that awarding 30 BP to this contribution is unfair for several reasons:
- Max works for Everclear as ecosystem lead, and is therefor a clear beneficiary of Arbitrum embracing a partnership with a chain abstraction provider like Everclear.
- We can only assume that the collaboration of Everclear with Offchain Labs will involve a commercial transaction that will benefit Everclear, and therefore Max. Which disqualifies this contribution from BP since BP is supposed to award proposal authors when they author a proposal that doesn’t benefit them monetarily.
- It sets a bad precedent and incentive for other delegates, if a proposal that in my opinion was clearly made as part of Max’s business development work to benefit Everclear, gets awarded the maximum amount of BP possible.
- The proposal in question had literally no comments during the month of January 2025. If anything, the BP should be awarded in the month of February, when Max’s comment that reveals the collaboration with Offchain Labs was made.
I would kindly ask for you to reconsider the awarding all of this BP to Max, in this case, in this month.
