Date Voted: July 11, 2025

91. Proposal: Entropy Advisors: Exclusively Working with the Arbitrum DAO, Year 2 and Year 3 (Snapshot)

  • Vote: For

  • Rationale: Entropy Advisors has proven their value in Year 1 by driving execution, improving treasury transparency, and supporting key Arbitrum initiatives like DRIP, STEP, and data reporting.

    Their focus on capital efficiency, incentive design, and strategic alignment is exactly what Arbitrum needs to scale as a sustainable, growth focused DAO.

    Although the budget is quite large and reflects a ~20% increase from the previous term, the long term value and alignment justify the cost.

    I support renewing their mandate to keep building momentum.

92. Proposal: [Constitutional] AIP: Update the Upgrade Executors (Snapshot)

  • Vote: For

  • Rationale: I support this proposal.

    This update makes future upgrades easier and faster. The new function lets the DAO run upgrades directly, without needing extra contracts every time.

    This saves time, reduces complexity, and lowers costs. The change is safe, already tested and audited, and still supports the old method.

93. Proposal: [CONSTITUTIONAL] Register $BORING in the Arbitrum generic-custom gateway (Snapshot)

  • Vote: For

  • Rationale: Registering $BORING in the Arbitrum custom gateway is a technical step that enables seamless bridging for a project expanding to our ecosystem. It supports adoption, incurs no cost to the DAO, and follows established procedures.

    No concerns from me and I voted yes!

94. Proposal: Updating the Code of Conduct & DAO’s Procedures (Snapshot)

  • Date Voted: July 22, 2025

  • Vote: For

  • Rationale: Support the extension and refinement of the Code of Conduct and DAO procedures.

    This proposal brings clarity to situations, for example, member resignation or winding down initiatives, without imposing rigid changes to the Constitution.

    It’s a thoughtful continuation of the initial trial that aligns with the DAO’s evolving needs, such as practical, flexible, and cost free.

95. Proposal: [Constitutional] AIP: Disable Legacy Tether Bridge (Snapshot)

  • Vote: For

  • Rationale: Vote yesI as this proposal will improve user safety and operational efficiency by deprecating the outdated USDT bridge.

    The new USDT0 bridge is faster, more reliable, and already widely adopted. Disabling the legacy bridge reduces risk for both users and smart contracts while streamlining Arbitrum’s bridging infrastructure.

96. Proposal: Consolidate Idle USDC to the ATMC’s Stablecoin Balance (Snapshot)

  • Vote: For

  • Rationale: I’m voting For on this proposal.

    Consolidating these idle funds into a single strategic wallet under ATMC improves capital efficiency while keeping assets safe and under DAO governance.

    This approach aligns with Arbitrum’s shift from a grant heavy model toward sustainable finance , using existing assets to generate long term yield.

    By putting idle USDC to work, DAO can reduce reliance on selling ARB and strengthen its yield layer, all without adding risk or complexity.

    It also makes sense to keep the 2025 Events Budget intact, with funds earning yield until needed for events.

    This is a low risk, high upside treasury optimization that benefits DAO’s financial health and long term sustainability.

97. Proposal: Entropy Advisors: Exclusively Working with the Arbitrum DAO, Y2-Y3 (Snapshot)

  • Vote: For

  • Rationale: Voted yes with same reason on Snapshot vote. Entropy Advisors has proven their value in Year 1 by driving execution, improving treasury transparency, and supporting key Arbitrum initiatives like DRIP, STEP, and data reporting.

    Their focus on capital efficiency, incentive design, and strategic alignment is exactly what Arbitrum needs to scale as a sustainable, growth focused DAO.

    Although the budget is quite large and reflects a ~20% increase from the previous term, the long term value and alignment justify the cost.

    I support renewing their mandate to keep building momentum.

98. Proposal: [CONSTITUTIONAL] Register $BORING in the Arbitrum generic-custom gateway (Tally)

  • Vote: For
  • Rationale: Voted yes with same reason on snapshot vote. Registering $BORING in the Arbitrum custom gateway is a technical step that enables seamless bridging for a project expanding to our ecosystem. It supports adoption, incurs no cost to the DAO, and follows established procedures.

99. Proposal: [Non-Constitutional] - Updates to the DIP, The Complete 1.7 Version (Snapshot)

  • Vote: For
  1. Proposal: [CONSTITUTIONAL] Remove Cost Cap, Update Executors, Disable Legacy USDT Bridge (Tally)

    • Date Voted: August 26, 2025
    • Vote: For
    • Rationale: Voted yes. This proposal removes inefficient subsidies on Nova, upgrades executors for smoother and safer governance, and disables the outdated USDT bridge to protect users. All three changes improve security and user safety.
  1. Proposal: [CONSTITUTIONAL] AIP: ArbOS Version 50 Dia (Snapshot)

    • Date Voted: September 1, 2025
    • Vote: For

102. Proposal: Revert the Delegate Incentive Program (DIP) to Version 1.5 (Snapshot)

  • Vote: Revert the DIP to v1.5

103. Proposal: [CONSTITUTIONAL] AIP: Security Council Election Process Improvements (Snapshot)

  • Vote: Increase cohort duration - Reduce qualification threshold - Allow members to bypass Nominee - Allow candidates to rotate keys - Allow members to rotate keys

  • Revert the DIP to v1.5 I support all proposed changes.

    Extending cohort duration reduces voter and candidate fatigue.
    Lowering the qualification threshold encourages more candidates.
    Allowing incumbents to bypass the Nominee phase saves voting power.
    Key rotation for both candidates and members improves security and reduces unnecessary burden.

    Overall, these updates make the election process more efficient, inclusive, and secure.

104. Proposal: Transfer 8,500 ETH from the Treasury to ATMC’s ETH Treasury Strategies (Snapshot)

  • Vote: For

105. Proposal: AGV Council Compensation Calibration: Benchmark for Next Term & Startup-Phase Bonus (Snapshot)

  • Vote: "Re-Calibrate for Future Council” and Allow Bonus for Current Council”

  • Rationale: The proposed benchmark adjustment and onetime startup bonus are fair given AGV’s strong performance and the workload during its launch phase.

    These updates bring compensation closer to market standards, align incentives with ARB, and recognize the Council’s critical early contributions.

106. Proposal: [Constitutional] AIP: DVP Quorum (Snapshot)

  • Vote: For

  • Rationale: Voting For supports a necessary technical improvement to Arbitrum’s governance.

    Transitioning quorum to a Delegated Voting Power basis aligns participation thresholds with active governance engagement rather than total token supply.
