This thread will be used to disclose Dragonfly’s voting rationale. Delegate statement coming up soon!
Snapshot - [Non-Constitutional] Whitelist Infura Nova Validator
Voted in favor, infura has been a good service provider and has good experience.
Snapshot - Research on context and retention
Voted in favor, interesting research, especially at no cost of the dao. We will see what comes out of it.
Snapshot - An EIP-4824 powered daoURI for Arbitrum DAO
Voted in favor for the ENS solution, on chain source of truth can only be good and respects our Ethos.
Tally - UPDATED - Ethereum Protocol Attackathon Sponsorship
Voted in favor, while other DAOs like uniswap voted against I think we need to support security on Ethereum Main net.
Tally - [NON-CONSTITUTIONAL] Arbitrum DAO Procurement Committee: Phase II Proposal
Voted in favor, while I don’t love bureaucracy this system can help us onboard service provider at both reasonable costs and with a framework laid down in case we need to handle non pleasant cases.
Tally - Constitutional AIP - Extend Delay on L2Time Lock
Voted in favor, we need to move Arbitrum as a whole to the best in breed L2 out there.
Tally - [Non-Constitutional] Funds to Bolster Foundation’s Strategic Partnerships Budget
Voted in favor, I didn’t had the delegation set up for snapshot. But in general I think we should entrust the foundation as the only B2B entity we currently have in our ecosystem beside Offchain Labs
Tally - ArbitrumDAO strategic “Off-site” (online) updated proposal
Voted for, I am new to governance events and this seems like a great opportunity to start. Looking forward to attend!
Tally - Enhancing Multichain Governance: Upgrading RARI Governance Token on Arbitrum
Voted for. Rari wants to come to Arbitrum and have a good experience for their user, the code was audited, I think is good to let them proceed.
Tally - [Non-Constitutional] Arbitrum DAO Delegate Incentive Program
Voted for, I saw this program from far away in the last few months, and gave me a strong motivation to get into Arbitrum governance. The newer version should also bring even more quality to the table.
Tally - Fund the Stylus Sprint
Voted for. Stylus is one of the big technological advantage of Arbitrum compared to other chains. I also like the increase of the committee for evaluation.
Snapshot - LTIPP Retroactive Community Funding Selections
Voted “do not fund”. I don’t have the instruments to evaluate the current community works, in the sense that while everything seems ok it’s difficult to understand the value that was added, and cross it with the cost requested. It also seems that some submission are just strange, or on the very high end of the amount requested.
Snapshot - Establishing a DAO Events Budget for 2025
Voted for. Is good to have budget set aside for events, and I am looking forward to participate to a few if possible!
Snapshot - GCP Council Re-Confirmation Vote for John Kennedy
Snapshot - GCP Council Re-Confirmation Vote for Tim Chang
I voted in favor in both votes because I believe that both Tim Chang’s and John Kennedy’s preparation and experience are more than valid, and they will certainly be able to help the GCP council.
Snapshot - [Non-Constitutional] Arbitrum Token Swap Pilot Program
I voted against it, even though I think the initiative is commendable. I believe that in the end it does not bring any benefit to the Arbitrum treasury or the involved protocols.
Snapshot - (V2) Arbitrum Research & Development Collective
I voted in favor, 70% for 2.09M and 30% for 2.6M. In the past six months, it has yielded good results, so it’s worth renewing it. Although I believe two million will be enough, I added the 30% weight for 2.6M because if more funds are needed, it’s better to have them and not use them than to have to ask the DAO again.
Snapshot - Adopt a Delegate Code of Conduct & Formalize Operations
Voted in favor. While this is only a social convention and nothing more, internal behavior rules are definitely needed to address whatever controversy might arise over time.
Tally - (V2) Arbitrum Research & Development Collective
Confirming my previous snapshot vote
Tally - Establishing a DAO Events Budget for 2025
Confirming my previous snapshot vote
Snapshot - [Non-Constitutional] Treasury Management v1.2
Voted in favor. We need to stake the ETH that we have to generate yield, it doesn’t make sense to not do it and wonder why we didn’t do it so far. It also makes sense to try and use ARB for yield strategies, and have stables. I honestly think the proposal lacks in some point as it was discussed, but is better than nothing.
Snapshot - Restitution For Extensively Delayed ArbitrumDAO Minigrant Winners
Voted against. While the situation is quite unfortunate, we have a program that pays out milestones in arb. At most, we should fire the service provider, but we can’t cover the losses in dollars due to the market.
Snapshot - Hackathon Continuation Program
Voted in favor with no on-chain mechanism. It is worth see how a new mechanism like this, in which we invest, is going to develop. It is also a “virtue path” for hackaton winners. Don’t see the necessity to had more costs on the operation so voted against the on-chain mechanism.
Snapshot - [Non-consitutional] User Research: Why build on Arbitrum?
Voted in favor, for Arbitrum + 2 others (SOL + OP). A research on why builders go in this or that place is usually good, but would have preferred to have instead of OP BASE. Also, I think we should check on both why on arbitrum versus why in other places, this is why I added solana and optimism.
Snapshot - Designing and operating the reporting and information function
Voted against. We need reporting, but the way this is structured doesn’t make too much sense. Compensation is quite high, is not clear when the bonus will be allocated, and the ownership of some tasks is unclear as well. I hope we see a cleaner, revised, less costly proposal.
Snapshot - Arbitrum D.A.O. Domain Allocator Offerings) Grant Program - Season 3
Voted in favor for 5 domains including Orbit. The program has been good so far, and expanding to a fifth domain is a natural path, also I would like to see more experimentation on orbit chains.
Snapshot - [NON-CONSTITUTIONAL] Arbitrum Onboarding V2: A Governance Bootcamp
Voted against. While is good to train people in something apparently simple but actually complex like governance, we don’t have a specific place to put them after the program ends, and we don’t have a way to retain them. The program needs to be better tuned with the rest of the dao operations.
Snapshot - ARDC (V2) Supervisory Council Election
For supervisory council, voted for Pedro Breuer, Jameskbh and Frisson for the communication roles. I have seen all of them very present and available in the forum, and all three are good choices (despite having only two seats). For operation, voted for Entropy and Tamara since is the only candidate for this role.
Snapshot - ARDC (V2) Research Election
Voted for Llama Research & Castle Capital, castlecap has always done good researches and teaming up with llama is a good choice.
Snapshot - ARDC (V2) Risk Election
For risk election, voted for Nethermind. The deliverables they mention in their candidacy are the most aligned to our DAO needs.
Snapshot - ARDC (V2) Security Election
Voted for openzeppelin, their reputation precedes them.
Tally - Arbitrum Hackathon Builder Continuation Program
In favor, same as snapshot
Tally - Treasury Management V1.2
In favor, same as snapshot
Snapshot - Partner with ETH Bucharest 2025
Voted in favour but no POAP. I think the event is valuable and I am not sure how many big events we have in the eastern part of Europe. That said, I don’t understand the reason of charging 15,000$ for adding the POAP to the event, this money can be better spent elsewhere.
Snapshot - OpCo – A DAO-adjacent Entity for Strategy Execution
Voted for. The initiative is quite costly to be honest, but if we don’t invest for the long term it could be even more dangerous. The biggest point will be to find persons to onboard, would be good to have names of possible ceos before the tally vote. In general we need to move faster and the OpCo should be able to help us doing it.
Snapshot - Unifying Arbitrum’s Mission, Vision, Purpose (MVP)
Voted for. I like the three phases approach, from the more abstract to the more concrete. Is also quite difficult to be in disagreement with the statements provided such as “defend and guide the arbitrum ecosystem”. So I think this vote will likely pass with great consensus, but the implementation and the proposed goals will be a more complex part.
