[DIP v1.6] Delegate Incentive Program Results (May 2025)

DAO Programs & Initiatives Delegate Incentives Program (DIP)

Title: Dispute
Delegate Name: Zeptimus
Reason for Dispute (please detail):

I am submitting this dispute regarding the DIP V1.6 results as I believe there are inaccuracies in the scoring and assessment of my participation.

Call Attendance (5 June)

I attended all three, including the one on 5 June. I believe the system may have failed to properly record my participation in one of them. I recall specifically one instance where I joined while multitasking, and that somehow generated an audio bug that made me had to rejoin the call and maybe the clock registered the last part without accounting for the first part. I kindly request a double-check of attendance records for the June 5 call.

Forum Contributions

I would also like to dispute the scoring of several forum posts that I believe should have qualified for points due to their depth and relevance. Specifically:

  1. SOS Submission: Merged TBD Strategic Objectives
     → This post contains meaningful feedback and a call to maintain clarity in the strategic objectives. I believe it deserved recognition under the DIP criteria.

  2. Agentic Governance Initiative
     → This post reflects a genuine attempt to engage with the philosophical foundations of governance in Arbitrum and should be considered for its intent and contextual relevance And also connects dots with SOS and how AI could support busy stakeholders running their own businesses.

  3. SOS Initiation Announcement
     → While the feedback mentions that I based my comment on an incorrect premise, I respectfully note that my suggestion still aimed at improving process clarity and governance direction and key stakeholders recognized the value.

Also, I want to mention that I genuinely enjoy giving a bit of feedback on every proposal. I’m reading all of them anyway, so spending five minutes sharing my thoughts feels right. I’m not expecting extra points or anything for those comments, but I truly believe they’re helpful for the proposers. It’s a way to show I’m paying attention and that their work matters. Reading the feedback now, it kind of feels like that habit is being punished, which is disappointing.
