Non-Constitutional: Proposal for Piloting Enhancements and Strengthening the Sustainability of ArbitrumHub in the Year Ahead

Non-Constitutional: Proposal for Piloting Enhancements and Strengthening the Sustainability of ArbitrumHub in the Year Ahead

The website is very well made and it looks well-engineered. I think one of the main reasons this project seems costly for delegates is the fact that it is trying to go beyond the basic needs of an information hub. The project looks structured as to be both, an information repository and an analytics platform. This is potentially creating an unnecessary scope expansion and also driving up costs, as it includes research and copyright roles. Engaged delegates within the DAO already have all the in…

Arbitrum Strategic Objective Setting (SOS) – Defining the DAO’s Interim Goals

Arbitrum Strategic Objective Setting (SOS) – Defining the DAO’s Interim Goals

I will be voting YES on Snapshot. In line with my previous comment, I believe the way this process is set up will maintain flexibility for changes in the future while keeping structure to the planning process. For objectives to be kept relevant and actionable, the quarterly reports should help us adjust course. I also believe delegate engagement is very important for the SOs to fully reflect the DAO’s vision, so we must ensure the process is straightforward and welcoming for all delegates to co…

AIP: Timeboost + Nova Fee Sweep

AIP: Timeboost + Nova Fee Sweep

I am voting FOR this proposal in Snapshot. I am considering the thorough vetting that this proposal has gone trough that includes security audits and testnet deployment. This upgrade represents a balance between generating revenue for the DAO and maintaining chain security. The system implements robust fail-safes, including automatic reversion to FCFS ordering if needed, while keeping the DAO in control of key parameters. Additionally, the proposal will efficiently consolidate 1,885 ETH into t…

OpCo – A DAO-adjacent Entity for Strategy Execution

OpCo – A DAO-adjacent Entity for Strategy Execution

I am voting FOR this proposal in Tally. I respect Entropy’s concerns about overlapping with the Foundation’s evolving role, but I believe the OpCo’s benefits will complement existing initiatives for control. As I mentioned earlier, I think that the OAT’s oversight is crucial for the OpCo to operate within the boundaries of the DAO’s oversight. The proposal also has strong safeguards in place, if OpCo isn’t working well or becomes unnecessary, the DAO can adjust its role or shut it down complet…

Non-Constitutional: Stable Treasury Endowment Program 2.0

Non-Constitutional: Stable Treasury Endowment Program 2.0

I am voting FOR on Tally. This program has a strong foundation and a proven track record of success. Devansh’s recent transition and Entropy becoming the new facilitator will not change the outcome of the initiative. I maintain my position that a program like this is a net positive for Arbitrum regarding Treasury Management. In the current landscape of market volatility, having a program like this will contribute in safeguarding long-term sustainability for the DAO.

Request to Increase the Stylus Sprint Committee’s Budget

Request to Increase the Stylus Sprint Committee’s Budget

I am voting FOR this proposal in Snapshot. I believe Stylus is a differentiator for Arbitrum in contrast with other L2s and we should support its growth as much as possible. It brings new solutions for smart contracts through WASM and it opens the door to many developers from traditional programming backgrounds who can now bring their expertise to our ecosystem. The Stylus Sprint program is establishing strong network effects early and I am not surprised that there were many quality applicatio…

[Non-Constitutional] [RFC] Arbitrum D.A.O. (Domain Allocator Offerings) Grant Program - Season 3

[Non-Constitutional] [RFC] Arbitrum D.A.O. (Domain Allocator Offerings) Grant Program - Season 3

I am voting FOR this proposal on Tally. The grant program is a positive initiative for Arbitrum. I agree with Danielo that this program serves as a gateway for new contributors. Several people have approached me with ideas or projects interested in collaborating with Arbitrum or looking for support, and I typically direct them to Questbook. I have confidence in each domain PM’s ability to select high-potential projects for the ecosystem. At the same time, I believe a systematic and standardize…

Arbitrum Growth Circles Event Proposal

Arbitrum Growth Circles Event Proposal

I will be voting FOR this proposal in Snapshot. I do believe there is a gap for projects that are beginning to grow and this type of support is something that has to be tackled. This proposal will ultimately help in growing the community of builders. Other ecosystems could have limited teams to give this support, Arbitrum’s advantage should be our structure and community expertise. We should leverage this. I also think the Events Budget is an ideal funding mechanism, as it was approved, it tri…

Arbitrum Audit Program

Arbitrum Audit Program

After reviewing the proposal, forum discussions, and the last calls, I’ve found several practical considerations worth sharing. Regarding the audit costs, I was not aware of the barrier this represents for projects building on Arbitrum. Considering what @stonecoldpat mentioned in the meeting about audit costing “anything between like $50k $100k or $200k depending on the size of your code”, I understand the hurdles teams face in early-stage funding. It is important to make these subsidies readil…

AIP: ArbOS Version 40 Callisto

[CONSTITUTIONAL] AIP: ArbOS Version 40 Callisto

I will be voting FOR in Snapshot. I believe Arbitrum should continue to be aligned as much as possible with Ethereum, and we should also leverage the position Arbitrum has within the ecosystem in this regard. We should thoroughly follow every upgrade made in Mainnet and be as prepared as possible for its correct implementation.

Request to Increase the Stylus Sprint Committee’s Budget

Request to Increase the Stylus Sprint Committee’s Budget

I will be voting FOR in Tally. As I said earlier, funding Stylus’ projects means investing in the future of the ecosystem. I believe the strong response to the program with 147 applications demonstrates strong demand to build with Stylus and selecting only 17 programs could not be achieved without a disciplined approach by the Committee. I also think that waiting for a complete assessment of the first round could delay ecosystem development and it is not considering the fast-paced environment …

TMC’s Proposed Allocations

TMC’s Proposed Allocations

I am voting for the “deploy nothing” option in Snapshot. From my point of view, the committee was established to provide recommendations on treasury management strategies. I don’t understand why they are including options that they don’t fully support. If the TMC recommends voting NO on the ARB strategy due to risk management concerns, then why include it as a voting option? I believe this undermines the purpose of having the TMC evaluate and recommend treasury management strategies to the DAO. …

Arbitrum Onboarding V2: A Governance Bootcamp

[NON-CONSTITUTIONAL] Arbitrum Onboarding V2: A Governance Bootcamp

I am voting FOR this proposal on Tally. I believe this initiative offers a pathway for newcomers that want to get involved and contribute. I also think it is the right time for this, as growing our contributor base is essential for addressing our current challenges. I like that the structure of the program matches top performers with protocols that need governance help. I believe this bootcamp will help its participants gain skills to distinguish valuable contributions.

GMC’s Preferred Choices for 7,500 ETH RFP

GMC's Preferred Choices for 7,500 ETH RFP

I am voting FOR in Snapshot. I believe the way this proposal is structured shows a balance between yield generation for ecosystem growth while maintaining a conservative approach. The yields are relatively low but adequate for a low-risk profile. My only concern would be on the lack of clarity around management procedures and exit strategies. Despite this, the benefits of putting these assets to productive use outweigh leaving them idle.
