Potential Misuse of Funds - Furucombo

I voted FOR to ban Furucombo from the Arbitrum DAO. I think it’s important to publicly signal to builders that agreements with the DAO are to be taken seriously. The Furucombo team had plenty of opportunities to comply with the Foundation and the STIP committees and actively chose not to do so.

Temperature Check: Change Arbitrum Expansion Program to allow deployments of new Orbit chains on any blockchain

I voted FOR this proposal on Snapshot. I believe this proposal is good for Arbitrum because it drives adoption of our tech stack and because it opens up new revenue opportunities. I believe this proposal is good for Ethereum because it drives adoption of the EVM, which is Ethereum’s most important moat IMO.

[RFC] Arbitrum Multi-sig Support Service (MSS)

I voted FOR this proposal on Tally, for the reasons outlined below

[RFC] Incentives Detox Proposal

I voted FOR this proposal at the temp check stage. We’ve deployed hundreds of millions of dollars in incentives across four programs. It’s time to take a step back, review performance, and align on our goals for incentives going forward. I appreciate the comment from @Matt_StableLab reflecting on incentive program needs going forward. I’m aligned with prioritizing clear objectives, stronger reporting, and a greater emphasis on marketing.

AIP: ArbOS 31 “Bianca” - Activation of Arbitrum Stylus, RIP-7212 Support, & Nova Fee Router Proposal

I voted FOR this proposal on Tally, as I did for each of the three component temp checks. I’m pleased with the level of technical rigor behind the onchain proposal. I appreciate the audits of each part, the ability the independently verify changes, and the review from OpenZeppelin as part of the ARDC.

[Non-Constitutional] Transparency and Standardized Metrics for Orbit Chains on growthepie.xyz Allowing Data-Driven Decision Making

I voted FOR this proposal at the temp check stage. I support this proposal because it meets a clear need (analytics) in an area of strategic focus for Arbitrum (Orbit), is priced reasonably, and is being implemented by a team with a track record of delivering quality product.

[RFC] ArbitrumDAO Governance Analytics Dashboard

I voted FOR this proposal at the temp check stage for the reasons outlined here.

I voted FOR this proposal on Tally for the reasons outlined here

Should the DAO Default to using Shielded Voting for Snapshot Votes?

I voted FOR ELECTIONS ONLY. I’ve observed all three of the listed effects (bandwagon, voter apathy, and 11th hour voting) to be particularly strong in elections. Outside of elections, I don’t think there is enough evidence to mandate private voting across all proposals.

Proposal to Temporary Extend Delegate Incentive System.

I voted FOR this proposal. Without delegate incentives, I believe the DAO would be wholly unable to pass constitutional quorum, thus blocking critical upgrades such as Arbitrum Stylus. Governance participation is trending downwards due to natural forces. If a token holder who is currently delegated to an active delegate sells ARB tokens, there is no fundamental reason for the buyer to delegate. Therefore it’s critical that the delegates we do have remain active. I’m hoping we can help address …

Strategic Treasury Management on Arbitrum

I voted FOR this proposal at the temp check stage for the following reasons: I think treasury diversification is essential for the ongoing sustainability of DAO operations. I appreciate (and require) the proposed transparent, non-custodial implementation in oder to vote for asset allocation of this size outside of the onchain DAO treasury. I like the secondary focus of fostering ecosystem growth. I’m comfortable moving forward at this stage, but would want to see a greater diversity of vendor…

Team #6: An (EIP-4824 powered) daoURI for the Arbitrum DAO

I voted ABSTAIN on this proposal due to procedural concerns. I will vote FOR it when it is created again on Snapshot.

[Frisson]

ArbitrumDAO Off-site

I voted FOR this proposal. I think regular (perhaps semi-annual) in-person engagement between DAO stakeholders and contributors is valuable. I’d like to note that I will be biased towards implementations that are low-cost and focused. I don’t want the DAO to pay for luxurious travel or non-DAO focused travel expenses of any kind.

[Frisson]

Should the DAO Create COI & Self Voting Policies?

I voted FOR: Strict Self-Voting Policy. It’s a standard practice is well-run organizations to avoid conflicts of interest. If a high-quality DAO proposal can’t pass because there are too many conflicts, that means our delegate base isn’t diverse enough.

AIP: Funds to bootstrap the first BoLD validator

I voted FOR this onchain proposal on Tally for the reasons outlined above.

ARB Staking: Unlock ARB Utility and Align Governance

I voted ABSTAIN on this onchain proposal on Tally for the reasons outlined above.

STIP-Bridge Operational Budget

I voted FOR this proposal at the temp check stage on Snapshot. The budget is reasonable relative to the work involved. In the future, funding for operations associated with a proposal should be included and approved in the original proposal. This should not require a follow-up vote after the work is completed.

Enhancing Multichain Governance: Upgrading RARI Governance Token on Arbitrum

I voted FOR this proposal at the temp check stage. Governance is one of the stickiest sources of users and TVL. It’s commendable that Rari is demonstrating its alignment with Arbitrum by moving governance from L1 to Arbitrum One, especially given the amount of work required to pass a constitutional proposal like this one.

[RFC] Synthetix LTIP Grant Extension Request

I voted Against this proposal at the temp check stage. I think the right thing to do in this situation is return the unused funds to the DAO and re-apply/propose for another incentive grant, rather than to extend the current program.

[RFC] Fund The Stylus Sprint

I voted FOR this proposal at the temp check stage. Stylus is one of Arbitrum’s key competitive advantages, and I think it’s appropriate for the DAO to play a direct role in driving adoption. I agree with the focus on developer tooling and infra as the key to fully unlocking the potential of Stylus, and think 5M ARB is a reasonable place to start in terms of program sizing.
