[RFC] Proposal to Adjust the Voting Power of the Arbitrum Community Pool & Ratifying the Agentic Governance Pivot

[RFC] Proposal to Adjust the Voting Power of the Arbitrum Community Pool & Ratifying the Agentic Governance Pivot

I’m voting to reduce the delegation to 100k ARB. Honestly, this is hard for me because we are talking about cutting quorum so the timing of this proposal is unfortunate. The pivot to AI-agentic voting is cool and fun but totally different from what we approved.. While I love that Event Horizon is experimenting, 7M ARB is massive voting power for something we haven’t actually signed off on. 100k ARB is a lot lower than I would like to see them get… I would love to see them get reduced down to 50…

Wind Down the MSS + Transfer Payment Responsibilities to the Arbitrum Foundation

Wind Down the MSS + Transfer Payment Responsibilities to the Arbitrum Foundation

Vote: FOR (Wind Down the MSS) I fully support winding down the service. I see the MSS from the inside as a signer and the math is simple. We’re facing a funding shortfall, and rather than asking for a top-up, this is the more efficient path forward. To everyone that says “but now it’s not decentralized” Every payment requires Foundation approval due to compliance. They send out an email to all the the multisig holders (myself included) saying “This address can receive money from you.” and we ar…

Reallocate Redeemed USDM Funds to STEP 2 Budget

Reallocate Redeemed USDM Funds to STEP 2 Budget

Voting FOR This is an administrative task on something we already voted for… feels like a waste of a vote. In general, we should use more optimistic governance, meaning if there’s no opposition or concerns raised, we should just move forward rather than requiring active votes from everyone on these obvious votes. No need to waste energy of delegates and in this case, waste the money that could have been earned, delaying its execution just so everyone can vote yes.

[Non-Constitutional] Invest in Builders & Ignite ARB Demand with q/acc

[Non-Constitutional] Invest in Builders & Ignite ARB Demand with q/acc

As stated above, we have been talking directly with the AF and they came to the conclusion that its not the right time to pursue this opportunity. Especially given the changes in the DAO structure with AAEs taking a larger role, we believe it would be prudent to ensure that we are working closely with the AF so we can become part of a cohesive, overarching grant strategy. So we made the tough decision to pause this proposal for now. Once the AF stands up their builder funnel, we see q/acc as a…

DeFi Renaissance Incentive Program (DRIP)

DeFi Renaissance Incentive Program (DRIP)

Most of my concerns were addressed with the clawback clause. I hear from some voting against that the program is vague. Honestly, to set up a good program like this will take a lot of time, expertise and thoughtful reviews. The burden of DAO bureaucracy often creates a bad outcome. They can do all this work ahead of time, and then something changes (e.g. market conditions, narrative opportunity) and they have to execute on it anyway, losing their chance to pivot, or worse, they do all this wor…

[Non-Constitutional] Let’s improve our governance forum with three proposals.app feature integrations

[Non-Constitutional] Let’s improve our governance forum with three proposals.app feature integrations

I’m abstaining from this proposal. I really want to support you guys and I like that you said on a call that you will get feedback to build more, but $60k proposals should not take the entire DAO’s attention for a vote. I see the value of having someone adding love to the forum, that’s why I’m abstaining instead of voting against. But I believe the proposal should be made directly to the Arbitrum Foundation (who I believe manages the forum) or some other Grant Program, and not to the DAO.

Updating the OpCo Foundation’s Operational Capability

Updating the OpCo Foundation’s Operational Capability

The DAO will benefit from the capacity of OpCo to move quickly and execute. As a DAO, we already voted for the OpCo budget, and those limitations are absurd. I’m in favor of letting OpCo do their thing and what comes from it, we will be watching, and holding the people running it accountable. Often every micro-decision becomes a governance theater performance. We’re burning contributor energy on process instead of progress. The DAO needs an execution arm that can actually execute, without the …

[Constitutional] AIP: Constitutional Quorum Threshold Reduction

[Constitutional] AIP: Constitutional Quorum Threshold Reduction

Voting FOR As mentioned in a previous comment, lowering the threshold doesn’t mean we’re giving up on engagement, it just means we’re not wasting valuable contributor time on cat herding votes when that energy could be spent on more impactful work.

[CONSTITUTIONAL] Proposal: For Arbitrum DAO to register the Sky Custom Gateway contracts in the Router

[CONSTITUTIONAL] Proposal: For Arbitrum DAO to register the Sky Custom Gateway contracts in the Router

Voted for on Tally. I really think we’re misusing the DAO’s time and attention here this process took way too long. These kinds of execution-level decisions are better left to an AAE like Offchain Labs, who are in the best position to handle them thoughtfully and safely.

Arbitrum Treasury Management Council - Consolidating Efforts

Arbitrum Treasury Management Council - Consolidating Efforts

I’m voting yes We’ve tried the multi-committee setup and it clearly doesn’t scale. Everyone’s been improvising around it anyway This structure reflects how things are mostly already working, but with clearer lines and less coordination/bureaucracy. What matters is that strategy becomes coherent and the DAO stays in the loop without blocking every move. Looks like a step toward treating treasury management as a long-term craft instead of a rotating experiment.

[Constitutional] AIP: Remove Cost Cap on Arbitrum Nova

[Constitutional] AIP: Remove Cost Cap on Arbitrum Nova

I’m voting yes Ending the subsidy is the first logical step, but we should consider sunsetting Nova all together. Nova had its role, but the context shifted and holding on just to hold on doesn’t help anyone. Subsidies should be earned, not assumed. If there’s real demand, it’ll show up without needing to prop it up. But I wonder if there is real demand? [Screenshot 2025-06-24 at 12.37.33 PM] I mean, $1400 in 24hr DEX volume? FOR THE WHOLE CHAIN?! The GIV token does better than that and it…
