Establishing a DAO Events Budget for 2025

Establishing a DAO Events Budget for 2025

Voting FOR. Many have pointed out the need to have better accountability in these project and I think this concern is justified but I also think the individuals and entities in charge will correctly report and communicate the utilization of funds. It is important to consider that having presence in major events is an important part of the ecosystem growth and it could also help with enhancing collaboration. My rationale for the vote is based on the idea that having a presence in major events i…

[NON-CONSTITUTIONAL] - Arbitrum Research and Development Collective [Term 2]

[NON-CONSTITUTIONAL] - Arbitrum Research and Development Collective [Term 2]

The ARDC enables the Arbitrum DAO to continue benefiting from expert guidance and it helps in improving operational efficiency, having aligned incentives, and ensuring that resources are used effectively. This initiative supports the DAO’s mission to foster a secure, innovative, and sustainable ecosystem for its community. Sadly, I could not vote for this proposal but I would have voted FOR, as I believe having a dedicated research team is necessary for every organization. My rationale is that …

[Non-Constitutional] Arbitrum DAO Delegate Code of Conduct + Formalizing the DAO’s Operations

[Non-Constitutional] Arbitrum DAO Delegate Code of Conduct + Formalizing the DAO's Operations

Supporting this proposal. I think that a Code of Conduct is an important part of every organization. A DAO should be no different, this would be a key step in professionalizing the role of delegates and reinforcing the values that guide our mission. It is essential to have clear standards for behavior and integrity, especially as Arbitrum continues to grow and establish itself in the Ethereum ecosystem. Also, I don’t think his framework isn’t just about formality, it’s about safeguarding Arbitr…

Enhancing Multichain Governance: Upgrading RARI Governance Token on Arbitrum

Voted FOR. Rationale: Bringing More Protocols to Arbitrum I am voting in favor of this proposal because integrating RARI DAO into the Arbitrum ecosystem will enrich our platform and potentially attract more protocols in the future. This move demonstrates Arbitrum’s capability to handle advanced governance structures and customized token contracts efficiently. By supporting the migration, we showcase the scalability, cost-effectiveness, and user-friendly nature of Arbitrum. This sets a positiv…

[Non-Constitutional] Treasury Management v1.2

[Non-Constitutional] Treasury Management v1.2

Thank you for the update and for arranging an open call with the candidates before the Tally vote. I trust Entropy’s due diligence process regarding the assembled group. This proposal is much needed for the DAO’s growth and a critical step in securing the DAO’s assets, and I believe it aligns well with its long-term goals. I’ll be voting YES in the Snapshot vote, as I support this initiative. However, I do feel it’s important to address the concerns regarding @JAC’s past involvement with the P…

Proposal for Financial Restitution For ArbitrumDAO Grant Winners

Proposal for Financial Restitution For ArbitrumDAO Grant Winners

After consideration, I believe that the DAO should focus on improving its future processes rather than providing retroactive compensation for past administrative delays. I’m echoing this argument: I understand that the delays caused frustration and challenges for the grantees but compensating them with additional funds is not the appropriate solution. The amount requested to counterbalance the inconvenience is subjective and as @404DAO commented, it sets a problematic precedent. Deploying extr…

Hackathon Continuation Program

Hackathon Continuation Program

I think it’s important that the DAO backs new projects like this. This is a significant action in order to continue growth in the ecosystem. This program is key to keeping the hackathon teams going strong and staying within Arbitrum. As a suggestion, it’d be great to have clear ROI metrics/milestones in place to make sure that the projects moving forward are really adding value to the ecosystem and not wasting any funds. That being said, since I was a participant in this hackathon, I’ll be abs…

[Non-consitutional] User Research: Why do people even build on Arbitrum, anyway?

[Non-consitutional] User Research: Why do people even build on Arbitrum, anyway?

I think research initiatives like this are valuable because they give us practical insights into the Arbitrum ecosystem. The goals and deliverables in this proposal could really complement other research efforts within the DAO. The budget seems reasonable to me, and we should welcome any information that adds value. I understand @thedevanshmehta’s point about wanting research to lead to concrete actions, but I believe that even if the research doesn’t result in immediate proposals, it still hel…
