Expand Tally Support for the Arbitrum DAO

Hey Arbitrum Delegates,

I’m back with a progress update on our proposal to Expand Tally Support for the Arbitrum DAO. We’ve shipped most of the items in our proposal and are on track to deliver the rest. Below, I provide a detailed report on the status of each deliverable.

We see this proposal as just one step on our journey of building a best-in-class governance experience for Arbitrum. We’re currently putting together a v2 proposal. We’ve compiled a list of features on the Tally Arbitrum Roadmap that have been requested by DAO contributors. If you have thoughts on what we should build, please comment on the Tally Arbitrum Roadmap forum post or dm me directly on Telegram @zeroxfrisson. Cheers!

Improve the proposal process

Link forum proposal posts and Tally proposals so that delegates can create Tally proposals from forum posts, see forum proposal comments directly on Tally, and be updated by a Tally Discourse bot when onchain proposals are created.
Development of this set of features is complete. We’re in the process of rolling it out for all new proposals going forward. The last remaining step is to get permission for the Tally Discourse bot to post in the Arbitrum forum, which is in progress.

Build a diff checker into Tally proposals
This feature is complete and will be included on all new proposals going forward. Proposal creators should include a link to the Snapshot proposal when they create a proposal on Tally, which will then enable voters to “view diff” on the proposal page.

Enable cancel functionality on Tally proposals
The integration of this feature on Tally is complete, but it will not be enabled until the Governor upgrade is implemented via DAO proposal (see “Upgrade Governor Contracts” section below).

Develop full proposal execution integration including prevent late quorum extension
Development of this feature is complete and is included on all new Tally proposals going forward. Below is an example of the proposal status timeline on Tally for a Constitutional proposal. Proposals that have a prevent late quorum extension will have that step automatically included in the status timeline.

Fully integrate the quorum of each Governor
Development of this feature is complete. All proposals will dynamically update going forward with the correct quorum from each governor. Also, we included both quorums on the delegates page on Tally going forward.

Show Security Council transactions
This feature is in development and will be complete soon. When a new Security Council transaction is created, we will automatically display an alert at the top of the Arbitrum DAO page that includes a link to the transaction.

Upgrade Governor contracts
Development and audit of an upgrade to the Arbitrum Governor contracts that includes the ability to cancel proposals and adds Flexible Voting are complete. The next step is to create an onchain proposal to implement the upgrades, which is coming soon.

Highlight delegate contributions
We shipped our integration of Karma’s Delegate Score and contributor metrics, which can now be viewed on the Tally’s Arbitrum Delegates page.

Research to set the DAO up for long-term success
Research reports about how the Arbitrum DAO can implement partial delegation and shielded voting are in progress and will be delivered soon.
