I’d like to be considered for Bonus points for the work on DAO Watch.  
I put in 8-10 hours to get to this point.

I facilitated @CryptoSI’s entry to Arbitrum DAO with DAO Watch and cohosting 2 podcasts.

CryptoSi had the idea to run some Arbitrum specific podcasts, I had a call with him and we honed the idea to host proposal authors and interesting delegates in Arbitrum and walkthrough in depth their proposals and other discussions in Arbitrum.

There is a gap right now between writing on the Forum, short status updates in the GRC calls, or short 5 minute segments on the Open Discussion of Proposals Governance Call. DAO Watch allows us to go indepth with proposers and delegates.

With CryptoSi, I provided orientation to Arbitrum, honed this format, helped scout and suggested 2 people to interview so far.

1. @cupojoseph we covered  
🔹 The proposed **500M ARB Builder Appreciation Airdrop**  
🔹 The **OPCO** entity and its potential impact on DAO operations  
🔹 Joseph’s bold idea for a **delegation decay mechanism**  
🔹 The state of onboarding and incentives for new builders  
🔹 And a look ahead at **[Nerite](https://www.nerite.org/)** , a native Arbitrum stablecoin

> movie_camera DAO Watch ARB Episode 1 – Builder Airdrops, OPCO & Delegate Decay We’re excited to launch the first episode of DAO Watch, a bi-weekly show dedicated to highlighting key discussions, proposals, and voices from the Arbitrum DAO. In our debut episode, I’m joined by my co-host Klaus (Hack Humanity) and special guest Joseph (Cup of Joe), a longtime Solidity dev and Arbitrum builder. We explore: small_blue_diamond The proposed 500M ARB Builder Appreciation Airdrop …

We covered:

- Arbitrum’s new vision for the future pros and cons
- Paulo’s newly launched governance tooling app: [@proposalsapp](https://x.com/proposalsapp)
- the role of governance tooling to shape change
- organisational design in and between DAOs, Foundations, Labs, Service Providers and individual contributors

In both cases we are providing a service deep diving on proposals that allow a lot of nuance to be explored, as well as hero’ing two Arbitrum Builders.  
The depth we went into in the latest podcast with Paulo helped him get to the clarity and prep to inform writing the most liked comment on the new Vision post here: [A Vision for the Future of Arbitrum - #40 by paulofonseca](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/a-vision-for-the-future-of-arbitrum/28962/40)

I think this format has provided benefit so far and has strong potential.
