Title: Dispute

User name: @maxlomu

> **@MaxLomu** has received the **maximum possible Bonus Points** from the DIP for his contributions to [**[RFC] Arbitrum as the Home of Builders – Embracing Chain Abstraction**](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/rfc-arbitrum-as-the-home-of-builders-embracing-chain-abstraction/27250/1). His insights and active participation have been instrumental in shaping the discussion, which has now evolved into a collaboration with Offchain Labs’ Universal Intent Engine program.

I think that awarding 30 BP to this contribution is unfair for several reasons:

1. Max [works](https://www.linkedin.com/in/massimo-lomuscio/) for [Everclear](https://www.everclear.org) as ecosystem lead, and is therefor a clear beneficiary of Arbitrum embracing a partnership with a chain abstraction provider like Everclear.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. The [proposal in question](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/rfc-arbitrum-as-the-home-of-builders-embracing-chain-abstraction/27250) 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](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/rfc-arbitrum-as-the-home-of-builders-embracing-chain-abstraction/27250/43) 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.
