Key Areas of Contribution and Vision for the DAO :
As a delegate, I aim to contribute primarily in the areas of Improving Governance Participation and Supporting Infrastructure. One of my core interests is education - particularly, helping others understand complex systems through clear, accessible explanations. I believe that when people truly understand how a system works, they are far more likely to engage meaningfully with it. Education and onboarding are not side aspects of a DAO - they are foundational. If we want to build a truly human-centered DAO, accelerating the learning curve for new members is essential.
On a broader level, I view DAOs as an experiment in collective responsibility. For the Arbitrum DAO to thrive, we need to prioritize long-term thinking, build sustainable frameworks, and foster a culture where participation is driven not only by reward, but by belief in what we’re building together.
Voting Rationale :
My voting decisions are always grounded in the long-term sustainability and prosperity of the DAO. My intention is never to offend, nor to flatter any individual or group. With humility and honesty, I strive to vote for what I genuinely believe to be the best possible option for the collective good.
I vote on both Snapshot and Tally, and below I share my vote along with the rationale for each proposal. This thread will be updated periodically, so that any interested community member can easily access what I voted on - and why.
This thread reflects my personal views and judgment at the time of each vote. I remain open to revising positions as the DAO evolves.
As concerns the AIP: ArbOS Version 40 Callisto , this was the first time I found it hard to decide. I wish I had a developer to thoroughly discuss this proposal with. In the end, I went with a FOR vote, as I realized—based on the comments—that this proposal is in the best interest of the DAO.
As concerns OpCo – Oversight and Transparency Committee (OAT) Elections, I have voted. If anyone wants to discuss about who and why I voted, I am happy to discuss it in person.
As conerns Approval of STEP 2 Committee’s Preferred Allocations my rationale was:
“Following up on my previous vote in the relevant discussion — and given that the DAO retains the ability to return 35 million ARB to the treasury via a temp check if necessary — I will remain in favor.”
In Snapshot vote Adjust the Voting Power of the Arbitrum Community Pool & Ratify the Agentic Governance Pivot, my choice was C, to reduce delegation to 0.
DRIP…a very serious one! Here I ended up on ABSTAIN. Even though by the time I am witing this comment I have boosted as much as I can this specific program by reposting in X and posting a small storytelling on my profile @_gi0rgos
I still check how this one is going since I believe that such programs and the way the DAO manages them may be crucial for the DAO’s future.
Before my vote I had three comments. The second one is just a reply to Entropy for an answer to my initial comment. However, just for clarity over my decision, I have here the links for all three comments. Initial Reply Final
As concerns the Audit CommitteeTechnical Expert Elections I voted for Gustavo. In this one, I am clarifying who I voted for as it was announced in our (at least mine) rationale, too.
According to For Arbitrum DAO to register the Sky Custom Gateway contracts in the Router, I voted FOR.
I do evaluate posstivley the fact that the proposer (i.e. SpikeWatanabe.eth) did answer to all these questions trying to explain thoroughly the imporatance of the proposal.
