Voted in favor, no on-chain mechanism: Timing in startups is important, and there hasn’t been a more perfect moment to build apps than now. I believe this program has some great startups (I checked them all) and would love to see them continue building on Arbitrum.
To be fair, at the moment, there are so many opportunities for builders out there, and there will be competition to attract the best ones. This proposal seems like a no-brainer to confirm and keep these startups in our ecosystem.
I agree that in the future, we should explore ways to get vested (like through our venture program, etc.) so we can see returns if startups are successful.
Also, the vote on the “on-chain vs. off-chain mechanism” is a bit confusing. I spent quite some time trying to understand the difference, and the terms here feel a bit misleading. I voted “no on-chain mechanism” to save the 30k budget. If this moves to Tally, please ensure these terms are clarified.
