:glowing_star: Introducing DAO Watch – A Deep Dive into Arbitrum Governance :glowing_star:

Hello Arbitrum Community! :waving_hand:

I’m excited to introduce DAO Watch, a dedicated video series that explores the latest governance proposals, discussions, and key developments happening within DAOs. Moving forward, Arbitrum will be a core focus of the show, with regular episodes breaking down proposals, governance trends, and community discussions.

:bullseye: What is DAO Watch?

DAO Watch is a platform designed to bring transparency, insight, and analysis to the governance space. With Arbitrum being one of the most innovative DAOs in the crypto ecosystem, I want to ensure that more people understand the proposals, the decision-making process, and the impact of governance on the ecosystem’s future.

:magnifying_glass_tilted_left: What to Expect?

  • Regular Coverage of Arbitrum Proposals – Deep dives into key governance proposals with clear breakdowns.
  • Interviews with Proposal Owners – Speaking directly with those submitting proposals to get clarity on their vision, motivations, and expected impact.
  • Transparency & Accountability – Helping to highlight both strong and weak proposals, ensuring the community is well-informed before making decisions.
  • Community Engagement – Encouraging discussions, debates, and feedback from Arbitrum stakeholders.

:rocket: Becoming an Arbitrum Delegate

I’m also thrilled to share that I will soon be joining as an Arbitrum delegate! :tada: This means I’ll be actively participating in governance, reviewing proposals, and contributing to discussions that help shape the future of Arbitrum.

I’d love the support of the Arbitrum community as I take on this role, and I encourage anyone who values transparency and well-researched governance to engage with DAO Watch, share feedback, and participate in discussions.

:light_bulb: How You Can Get Involved

  • Watch & Share DAO Watch Episodes – The more informed the community is, the stronger Arbitrum governance becomes.
  • Suggest Topics & Proposals – If there’s a proposal or governance issue you think needs more attention, let me know!
  • Join the Discussions – Whether here in the forums, on YouTube, or across social media, your input helps shape the conversation.

Together, we can make Arbitrum governance more transparent, effective, and community-driven!

Looking forward to this journey with you all! :rocket:

This is a great idea, I’ve thought about the need for DAO podcasts and video coverage for a while, not everyone wants to read, others are auditory or visual learners.

Well done, here to chat if you wish.

Awesome, it’d be a lot easier if I could collaborate with some community members who are already established here, so I’d appreciate a call if you could spare the time mate?

The most recent episode featured myself reviewing some discussion around AI and how arbitrum netowkr would embrace it, currently the show features a few different DAOs (with the idea of having an audience that cross pollinates and grows to a more cognitively diverse group) and arbitrum has been featured many times.

you can view the latest episode here –https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qt_3zUC-nU8

Show has been going for a few years, but recently I’ve improved my workflow so I think I can create these weekly and with some funding I’d love to feature Arbitrum each, week.

Because I think it’s too small a deal to bother creating a proposal, I’m just going to become a delegate and fund the show that way, while documenting some of my contributions to the DAO and also having guests on frequently to discuss their proposals and possibly summarising intersting highlights from governance calls etc. I’ve got a bunch of ideas.

Thanks guys for the positivity and support so soon and early on.

I’ve been in the crypto space since 2012 and in DAOs since they began with dash and then PIVX.

This sort of welcome is quite rare and a great sign. I think with some help, I can really contribute here.

Thankyou! lets keep this ball rolling.

Show has been going for some years, it doesnt always feature arbitrum, but I’m considering becoming a delegate and featureing arbitrum every time. plus its not a big effort to simply cut the arbitrum section and post it seperately.

Thanks! Just watched Nr. 36. Found it helpful and insightful for those of us who are newer to the space. Appreciate it.

Just an idea (not sure if this is possible) regarding funding, there’s an active proposal: [NON-CONSTITUTIONAL] Arbitrum Onboarding V2: A Governance Bootcamp. Maybe you could get involved—share your “how to” experiences, contribute to the educational onboarding, and potentially secure funding.

Sounds like an interesting idea. It would be useful to see debate-style conversations on controversial proposals, to better understand the arguments on each style.

Yes that’s a great idea, possibly a monthly roundtable style debate, with 4 different delegates.

Do you have any ideas of delegates that would be interested in that? possibly point them to this thread and lets get them involved

I guess relevant delegates would vary based on the specific topic of each controversial proposal.

Great initiative, I think this could especially be a great chance for smaller delegates to get more exposure. The big ones are usually knows, that’s why they have a lot voting power. This could change with DAO watch.

This is a great new play! Great way for smaller delegates to get some exposure and visibility to the DAO. Will be interesting to see what new projects show up on the show.

Hey @CryptoSI, thanks for sharing this!

DAO Watch is an excellent addition to Arbitrum governance! It’s refreshing to diversify how the community engages with proposals beyond predominantly written content and video deep dives can make governance topics more approachable.

A couple of thoughts to enhance the series further:

  • Given the nuanced nature of governance proposals, which typically involve intricate trade-offs and both short- and long-term implications, it would be beneficial to feature not only proposal authors but also other community members. Hearing their evaluation criteria, reasoning, and diverse perspectives can enrich the discussion and serve as valuable learning for the community.
  • Recognizing that not everyone may have time to watch full episodes, consider adding timestamps for key segments, along with concise summaries or recaps. This ensures accessibility and keeps more community members informed and engaged.

We’re excited to have you joining as a delegate and look forward to your contributions to Arbitrum!
