Extend AGV Council Term and Align Future Elections with Operational Cadence
Summary: This poll asks ARB holders to extend the terms of the current Council overseeing the Arbitrum Gaming Venture (previously known as the Gaming Catalyst Program) by approximately 3 months. The new term would conclude on December 31, 2025.
Recommendation: Vote Abstain. GFX Labs is a well-known skeptic of this overall program. We feel incumbents asking to avoid reelection while simultaneously asking for increased compensation strengthens the case for winding down the AGV. However, GFX generally does not want to support ongoing decisions around the AGV at all, since we believe that its continued existence is value destructive to ABR holders. As such, we will vote to Abstain in order to preserve our participation record.
