After consideration, the @SEEDgov delegation decided to vote FOR on this proposal at the Snapshot Vote.
Rationale
First and foremost, SEEDGov would like to thank Entropy for the work delivered so far. While there are areas for improvement — as already mentioned in this discussion — we believe their presence in Arbitrum has been and continues to be a positive force for the DAO.
Over the past year, we’ve built a sustained relationship through joint work on various initiatives such as the Staking Working Group and the Stylus Sprint, as well as through ongoing mutual consultation between Entropy and SEEDGov.
These interactions have given us the opportunity to witness firsthand their professionalism and working methodology. Moreover, we’ve been able to lean on their support, which has had a meaningful impact on the quality of what the DAO is delivering to the protocol.
If we want to make Arbitrum win, we need more teams whose success is directly tied to Arbitrum’s success.
We would also like to highlight the Dune dashboards — a vertical that Entropy has focused on in recent months. This effort fills a crucial gap, and we must say that, as Program Managers of the DIP, these dashboards have been valuable tools for conducting internal analysis as well as for preparing the Mid-Term Report shared a few weeks ago.
Regarding the proposal itself, we support allocating 10M ARB to milestones to be negotiated with the OAT.
We understand the requested amount is significant, but it is also true that Entropy has consistently delivered value to Arbitrum’s operations and ecosystem-wide initiatives. This value is often difficult to quantify, which is why we believe it would be unfair to focus solely on the cost Entropy represents — instead, we should view it as an investment.
