Establishing a DAO Events Budget for 2025
- Voted FOR

Changed my vote on snapshot.

In the Snatshot stage, there were no details about the events for 2024 in the proposal, so I voted against it. Now, it seems that the details have been added in the Tally stage, so I am now voting in favor!

(V2) Arbitrum Research & Development Collective
- Voted FOR

Maintain my reasons on snapshot.

The Arbitrum Research Development Collective [V1] has a proven role, so expanding [V2] should make sense. My only concern is that the onerous requirements will limit the creativity of council members. This question has been answered, and I think it is, as the lesser of two evils, and we need to continue to adjust our strategy as we develop. So I decided to support the proposal and vote for funded with 2.60M USDC + council.

[Snapshot] Adopt a Delegate Code of Conduct & Formalize Operations - Voted For

I carefully reviewed the entire content, and I generally agree with the points made. Delegates indeed need to follow a certain code of conduct, especially those participating in DIP and receiving incentives. I donā€™t want to see a situation where someone benefits from the system but undermines it at the same time. It would be terrible if some Delegates kept receiving compensation from Arbitrum DAO but continuously opposed its collective decisions, both inside and outside the community. So I voted for!

Security Council Election #2
- Voted my all votes to Griff Green

I know Griff Green is a nice guy who are building Giveth. He is a technical expert who has made outstanding contributions to the development of the Arbitrum network. So I believe he can do this job perfectly!

Voting 2024-11-16T16:00:00Z

[Snapshot] [Non-Constitutional] Treasury Management v1.2 - Voted Against

I donā€™t think my concerns were solved by the new proposal version:

  1. How will 15M ARB be swapped to stablecoins within 3 months? Will it be sold directly on CEXs or via OTC? Could this cause significant market volatility? Given the current liquidity shortage, 15M ARB represents a large selling pressure. If not handled properly, it could harm all ARB holders and the overall interests of Arbitrum DAO. Is there a detailed plan in place?

  2. How can we ensure the security of funds during transfers and subsequent management? Will the ARB and ETH stay on-chain, or be moved to CEXs? If transferred to CEXs, maintaining full transparency will be challenging. What contingency plans are in place in case of a hack or theft?

So Iā€™m voting against for now.

[Snapshot] Restitution For Extensively Delayed ArbitrumDAO Minigrant Winners - Voted Against

The similar issues are widespread across Arbitrum DAO since ARB has dropped 70% over the past six months. I think they asked for providing reasonable compensation is understandable, but it may seem unfair to other teams facing similar situations. If the original reward was set in ARB, then I donā€™t think compensation is necessary, as the high volatility of early-stage tokens should be a common understanding among all Crypto practitioners.

So Iā€™m voting against for now.

[Snapshot] Hackathon Continuation Program - Voted In Favor, yes onchain mechanism

Many great projects on Ethereum were born in hackathons. Supporting startup projects has always been something Iā€™ve been involved in, and I believe it has long-term significance for the Arbitrum ecosystem. And Iā€™ve deeply discussed this proposal with Daniel. Thatā€™s why I fully support this proposal.

[Snapshot] [Non-consitutional] User Research: Why build on Arbitrum? - Voted Arbitrum + 2 others (SOL + OP)

Researching why developers choose to build on Arbitrum, what attracts them, and what causes some to leave for other ecosystems is a crucial topic. This helps us understand what developers truly need and aids Arbitrum DAO in defining its future development path. And the budget is not too much. So I fully support this proposal.

[Snapshot] Arbitrum D.A.O. Domain Allocator Offerings) Grant Program - Season 3 - Voted For

The Grant Program Seasons 1 and 2 were executed effectively. With the market warming up, I believe Orbit is entering a phase of rapid growth. Therefore, itā€™s crucial to launch the Grant Program Season 3 as soon as possible. I vote in renew 5 domains (adding orbit chain)!

[Snapshot] ARDC (V2) Supervisory Council Election - Voted For ZER8

No one knows ZER8 better than I do. He is one of the people I respect most in Arbitrum DAO. He possesses a wealth of skills and exceptional work capabilities, treats others with kindness, and is always tirelessly working for the DAOā€™s mission without expecting anything in return. I honestly cannot think of anyone more suitable for this position than him.

[Snapshot] ARDC (V2) Research Election - Voted For Llama and Castle

Among all the candidates, no one demonstrates a stronger understanding of research than Llama and Castle. I am highly impressed by their background, proposed hourly rate, and scope of work. Their application stands out as far more competitive compared to others charging $500 or even $700 per hour, especially considering their consistent and significant contributions to the Arbitrum DAO. With their reasonable hourly rate and proven track record, I firmly believe they are the perfect fit for this position.

Additionally, considering their very reasonable hourly rate, I believe they are the most suitable candidate for this position.

It would be a terrible thing if there were Delegates enjoying the benefits of ArbitrumDAO but out there denigrating Arbitrum. So this proposal will slove this problem. And I believe this proposalā€™s initiative will allow the Arbitrum DAO to prosper even more. So I voted For.

[Snapshot] Partner with ETH Bucharest 2025 - Voted For

The previous 2024 participation brought significant benefits to Arbitrum DAO, we shouldnā€™t miss this opportunity in 2025. And the budget is very small actually.

So I voted For with Poap $69,300.

[Snapshot] OpCo ā€“ A DAO-adjacent Entity for Strategy Execution - Voted For

I completely agree with the view that ā€˜as it currently stands, the Arbitrum DAO is generally unable to move swiftly when it requires specialized contributors to execute a strategy, for which there isnā€™t a straightforward and low-friction approach, with these processes typically requiring a vast amount of effort from the supply side instead of being driven by the demand side.ā€™ I very hope OpCo can address this pain point.

I was concerned that a 34M ARB would put a lot of pressure on the market, to the detriment of ARB holders, and OpCo decided to take a linear release to minimize the impact on the market. Overall, the pros of the proposal outweigh the cons, so I voted For.
