1. (V2) Arbitrum Research & Development Collective
   Voted - Funding with 1.73M USDC + Council
   Reason -

@Euphoria

The following reflects the views of the Lampros Labs DAO governance team, composed of Chain_L (@Blueweb), @Euphoria, and Hirangi Pandya (@Nyx), based on our combined research, analysis, and ideation.

We are voting 100% for funding with 1.73M USDC + Council.

The ARDC addresses key areas of risk, security, and research for the DAO, which are crucial for its continued success. We’ve closely followed the research and security reports, and they have guided many of our decisions and votes.

At this time, we don’t see any other alternative that can fulfill the role of the ARDC as effectively. We hope to see more long-term reports focused on the growth and direction of the DAO.

Additionally, more clarity on who can request work, how requests are made, and the rationale behind approvals would be beneficial for the community.

2. [Non-Constitutional] Arbitrum Token Swap Pilot Program
   Voted - ABSTAIN
   Reason -

@Blueweb

The following reflects the views of the Lampros Labs DAO governance team, composed of @Blueweb(Chain_L), @Euphoria, and Hirangi Pandya (@Nyx), based on our combined research, analysis, and ideation.

We are Voting Abstain as we are not sure about the success of the program as desired.

We acknowledge the contribution of @thedevanshmehta to the DAO & @LuukDAO over many open-source projects. We thank the contributors to this proposal for having placed this proposal and opened a channel to discuss it for the DAO. We should consider this proposal as a success of Firestarter program by ThankARB.
The example mentioned about Treasure DAO’s move to ZK Sync seems perfect but difficult to conclude that native Account Abstraction was the real reason vs token swap.
Investing in ecosystem projects should be important for the DAO, but we can do this via the Arbitrum Venture Initiative which can get a better share for the Arbitrum DAO.
Adding an observation that the amount we are trying with the proposal to swap is way less than what the DAO can recover by making the current programs more efficient. This could look out of context but happy to talk on it with anyone interested.

3. GCP Council Re-Confirmation Vote for Tim Chang

During the Bi-weekly Call, we heard from John and Tim and learned how they are aligning with the council. We believe their insights, provided in the context of the council, offer more depth than a general understanding. Both candidates have impressive backgrounds, and we are confident they can lead Arbitrum toward success in the gaming ecosystem.

1. [Non-Constitutional] Arbitrum DAO Delegate Incentive Program
   Voted - FOR
   Reason -

@Euphoria

We are voting FOR this proposal on Tally.

We believe that these improvements will encourage deeper and more consistent participation from delegates in governance, helping to ensure a more engaged and effective Arbitrum DAO.

Rest our overall thoughts remain the same as expressed in our rationale during the Snapshot voting.

@Euphoria

The following reflects the views of the Lampros Labs DAO governance team, composed of @Blueweb, @Euphoria, and Hirangi Pandya (@Nyx), based on our combined research, analysis, and ideation.

We are voting FOR DIP V1.5 for this proposal.

We want to mention that our feedback from this comment was heard and implemented, which we appreciate.

The minor changes from v1.1 to v1.5 are welcomed especially the new rubric-based system. This seems well-suited to address the diverse feedback across the DAO and will likely encourage deeper and more consistent participation from delegates in governance.

We would love to see how the upper cap of 50 delegates could be lifted if the $7,000 per delegate budget is not exhausted, and the 51st delegate qualifies for the last tier allowing more delegates to qualify for incentives.

Lastly, we hope that the subjective scoring will become more objective as the program progresses.

2. Fund the Stylus Sprint
   Voted - FOR
   Reason -

@Euphoria

The following reflects the views of the Lampros Labs DAO governance team, composed of @Blueweb, @Euphoria, and Hirangi Pandya (@Nyx), based on our combined research, analysis, and ideation.

We are voting FOR this proposal.

We believe this is a necessary step for Stylus adoption, as stated in our Snapshot rationale. The idea of an Evaluation Committee made up of Stylus experts is a strong approach, and tying funds to milestones will help ensure they are used effectively.

We’re voting FOR this proposal as we believe it’s a necessary step for Stylus adoption.

The idea of having an Evaluation Committee made up of Stylus experts is a good approach. We also agree with giving out funds based on milestones, as this will help prevent misuse.

To make this sprint really successful, we suggest running a strong marketing campaign to attract as many developers as possible. It would be great to showcase the Stylus Sprint at ArbiVerse during Art Museum Token2049 - this could help get more people to apply.

Overall, we think this program can really speed up the adoption of Stylus by creating a set of high-quality projects that show what it can do.
