# August Participants For the August iteration of the program, 82 participants enrolled, 51 **of whom met the requirements to qualify**. You can see the full list [here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jf-qn2ro78fvgwSJxzXMUE6EY4CpULRy47D8UYR9jYk/edit?gid=0#gid=0). # Parameters Breakdown ### Snapshot Voting During the month, there were a total of **1 Snapshot Votes** , which was the 1.7 DIP Proposal. As an internal policy, we never counted DIP proposals/discussions so not to fall into a COI when evaluating results. But we also acknowledge that in this particular case, we would be penalizing DIP participants because of an internal policy. For this reasons and in exceptionality terms, we’ve decided to give every participant the totality of Snapshot points for the month of August. ### Tally Voting For this month, a total of **2 Tally Votes** were considered for TV scoring. It is important to note that only those proposals that ended in _August_ counted. It’s important to clarify that proposals with the tag [CANCELED] are not counted for DIP. These are the proposals that were considered: 1. [[CONSTITUTIONAL] Remove Cost Cap, Update Executors, Disable Legacy USDT Bridge](https://www.tally.xyz/gov/arbitrum/proposal/51852039695020109312343918128899814224888993575448130385109956762385891284115?govId=eip155:42161:0xf07DeD9dC292157749B6Fd268E37DF6EA38395B9) 2. [[CONSTITUTIONAL] Register $BORING in the Arbitrum generic-custom gateway](https://www.tally.xyz/gov/arbitrum/proposal/97685288731263391833044854304895851471157040105038894699042975271050068874277?govId=eip155:42161:0xf07DeD9dC292157749B6Fd268E37DF6EA38395B9) ## Delegate Feedback In the [Karma Dashboard](https://arbitrum.karmahq.xyz/delegate-compensation?month=august&year=2025) you can find the detailed breakdown of your Delegate Feedback. ### Presence in Discussion Multiplier As approved in the Tally proposal, the _Presence in Discussion_ parameter acts as a multiplier that measures the presence and participation of delegates throughout the month. For _August_, 3 discussions were considered: 1. **[Constitutional] AIP: Security Council Election Process Improvements** 2. **[CONSTITUTIONAL] Remove Cost Cap, Update Executors, Disable Legacy USDT Bridge** 3. **[CONSTITUTIONAL] AIP: ArbOS Version 50 Dia** To get the multiplier a delegate needed: For 5% (1.05) = 1 comment (≥25%) For 10% (1.10) = 2 comments (≥50%) For 20% (1.20) = 3 or more comments (≥75%) It is important to note that we considered [JamesKBH](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/u/jameskbh) [feedback](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/dip-v1-51a-delegate-incentive-program-results-january-2025/28494/18), so for the multiplier calculation, if the delegate made a valid comment on that topic/thread in the previous month, it was considered in the current month. # Delegate Feedback Reporting You can check the Delegate Feedback Reporting in our [Notion page](https://www.notion.so/PUBLIC-DIP-Feedback-Report-1af3b4b4c932806ba85ec44cba13afa3?pvs=21).
