3 Polls Closing August 15, 2024
ArbitrumDAO Governance Analytics Dashboard
Summary: This poll asks ARB holders if they support Curia Labs building a governance dashboard to enhance transparency and understanding of governance initiatives, delegation, and various statistics. More details can be found here. The cost is 71,000 ARB ($50,000 at the time of proposal), which includes 6 months of maintenance.
Recommendation: Vote Yes. While these dashboards tend to be somewhat narrow in who uses them, comparable dashboards at MakerDAO (while they were maintained) were useful both as reference material and tracking historical data. More than once, academic researchers were directed to it. The cost to build and initially maintain this dash is reasonable.
Transparency and Standardized Metrics for Orbit Chains
Summary: This poll asks ARB holders if they support GrowThePie.xyz to create a dashboard to show metrics of Orbit chains in detail. More details can be found here. The cost for development and one year of maintenance is $210,175.
Recommendation: Vote No. Considering the relatively low importance of Orbit chain-derived revenue, the cost of this would probably offset the revenues it is intended to monitor.
ARB Staking: Unlock ARB Utility and Align Governance
Summary: This poll asks ARB holders if they support Tally building a staked ARB set of smart contracts. More details can be found here. The cost for development is $200,000.
Recommendation: Vote Abstain. This should be put on hold until it’s clear what staking would do. This proposal does not include authorization to direct special privileges or revenues to stARB.
