The Arbitrum Foundation and Hack Humanity are co-hosting a 3-day Governance Bootcamp and Open Community showcase during the week prior to ETHDenver!
Dates: February 26 - 28th
Link to register: Arbitrum GovHack · Luma
GovHack is a unique opportunity to roll up your sleeves and work side by side with fellow Arbitrum contributors to build workstreams, design frameworks and ultimately ship proposals IRL. Form new friendships and collaborations with like-minded folks along the way!
Why GovHack
The ArbitrumDAO has been operational for the past 10 months, and we have witnessed the rise of active contributors who have fostered connections through public forums, telegram groups, and governance calls with a single motive:
- How can the DAO work together to build a better Arbitrum?
While virtual collaboration has its merits, there’s nothing quite like the value of face-to-face meetings to build camaraderie, hash out actionable insights, and collectively refine objectives that will help achieve the shared mission.
GovHack Goals
- Accelerate how we work together as a DAO and an ecosystem.
- Build deeper human relationships & support systems amongst DAO contributors.
- Identify and take action on cross-collaboration opportunities.
- Attract DAO curious bystanders to learn more and get their hands dirty.
- Ship in-depth proposals that are ready to be voted on.
With the above in mind, GovHack focuses on forming teams who will work together on ideas related to governance which may include a new workstream, dreaming up experimental organizational structures, or a fully fledged proposal that the ArbitrumDAO can vote on.
After all the hard work is complete, there will be an open day to allow the ecosystem to come together and celebrate all the success we have achieved as a global community.
Tentative Schedule
Days 1-2: Governance Bootcamp
A hackathon-like experience for non-technical and technical people to make progress on proposals, key ideas, and workstreams by giving builders live access to crucial DAO members with the high context knowledge, relationships, decision-making power, and resources needed.
- Dedicated for DAO contributors
- Delegates and representatives will be present from major projects on Arbitrum with domain knowledge to consult with on your idea
- Teams break out, work on proposals and initiatives, and present their findings to all other participants
Most importantly, no coding skills are required. It is a governance bootcamp focused on making Arbitrum better and it necessitates expertise in many domains.
Day 3: Arbitrum Community Open Day
An opportunity to network with the wider Arbitrum community, which comprises community members, builders, ecosystem projects, and core developers.
- Showcase zone where existing project present & grantees share their work
- Open coworking zone
- Lunch + prize announcements
- Winning pitches
- Networking & match-making for long-term success, and to form alliances in the room.
- Office hours with delegates and major protocol founders and builders
Note - above is a tentative schedule and room format for the 3 days. The final schedule, tracks, GovHack challenge statements, judges, prizes is being finalised with the mapathon, a communtiy co-design process Hack Humanity will lead over the next weeks.
All are welcome to join, invitation details to the online mapathon workshops will be posted here on the Forum.
