[Snapshot] Building the Future of NFTs: The Rarible Protocol - Voted FOR
After extensive discussion with the Rarible team, and after them revising their proposal based on the feedback they received, we decided to vote in favour of the proposal. A more thorough explanation of our rationale can be found here.
[Tally] Building the Future of NFTs: The Rarible Protocol- Voted FOR
Following a successful temp-check, the proposal from Rarible went to on-chain vote unaltered, and therefore we voted for it to pass, just as we did during temp check.
[Tally] Update Security Council Election Start Date to Ensure Time for Security Audit - Voted FOR
After the points that we raised were addressed in discussion in the public forums, we voted in favour of the proposal.
[Tally] Security Council Implementation Spec - Voted FOR
We were in agreement with the implementation spec provided in the Security Council Elections post and therefore we voted in favour of it during the on-chain vote.
[Tally] Arbitrum One Governance Parameter Fixes - Voted FOR
Having reviewed the proposed fixes as well as the associated security audit, we decided to vote for the proposal.
[Snapshot] Time Management in Arbitrum’s Governance - Voted FOR
We engaged in a conversation with @Cattin regarding their RFC and we decided to vote in favour of the proposal after suggesting some ways the proposal could be improved before going to an on-chain vote.
[Snapshot] Domain Allocators
After reviewing all applications for each domain, and after hosting 2 pitching sessions for domain allocators (more info below), we cast our vote for each domain. Our rationale for each domain can be found here.
[Snapshot] Arbitrum Short Term Incentive Program - Voted FOR
Having attended the liquidity incentives workshops, and after consulting with other delegates and relevant third parties regarding the potential impact of the program, we decided to vote for it, with a preferred allocation of 50M ARB.
[Tally] Arbitrum Short Term Incentive Program - Voted FOR
Following a successful temp-check which ended with our preferred allocation of 50M ARB as the most voted option, we cast our on-chain vote in favor of the program.
[Snapshot] Arbitrum as official sponsor of Ethereum Mexico 2023 - Voted AGAINST
Our vote against the proposal had more to do with the channel it was pursued through, rather than with the proposal itself. This proposal came after Questbook’s Grant program was voted on and after domain allocators were elected, and we believed that going through the program would be a more suitable avenue for the proposal. As a result, we voted against the proposal during temp check.
[Tally] Security Council Elections - Round 1 & Round 2
We cast our votes for both rounds after extensive internal discussion, research and due diligence. Our extensive rationale as well as the list of nominees we voted for in each round can be found here.
[Snapshot] STIP Applications
We reviewed and voted on all STIP applications. We shared our approach as well as reflections on the whole process here.
[Snapshot] Empowering Early Contributors: The community Arbiter Proposal - Voted AGAINST
While we’re very much in favour of rewarding contributors, we felt that the amount requested was too high, without relevant data supporting it. We shared our explanation under the original proposal.
[Snapshot] Build Optimal Onboarding for STIP Teams (BOOST) - Voted AGAINST
We like the idea of using quests to educate users and help protocols distribute their STIP funds in a streamlined way. Given there was another similar proposal from Rabbithole, we felt it’d be beneficial if discussed these proposals as a DAO in more depth before deciding on an approach. That’s why we decided to vote against for the time being, but shared our support in the forum.
