[Snapshot] Partner with ETH Bucharest 2025 - Voted For

The previous 2024 participation brought significant benefits to Arbitrum DAO, we shouldn’t miss this opportunity in 2025. And the budget is very small actually.

So I voted For with Poap $69,300.

[Snapshot] OpCo – A DAO-adjacent Entity for Strategy Execution - Voted For

I completely agree with the view that ‘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 isn’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.’ 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.

[Snapshot] Arbitrum D.A.O. Season 3 Elections - New Protocols and Ideas - Voted For CastleCapital

CastleCapital has been a long-term builder in the Arbitrum ecosystem. I’ve been familiar with them since the NFT era of Arbitrum, and their professional skills and longstanding contributions to Arbitrum are evident to everyone. The New Protocols and Ideas domain of Grant Season 3 is a role that CastleCapital is perfectly qualified for, which is why I’ve cast all my votes for them.

[Snapshot] Arbitrum D.A.O. Season 3 Elections - Education, Community Growth, and Events - Voted For SEEDGov

SEEDGov is, in my opinion, the most suitable candidate for this position. Their past contributions to this field have already proven their capabilities. Moreover, they have made significant contributions to the entire Arbitrum DAO and are trustworthy partners. For example, the DIP they led has had a profound impact on Arbitrum DAO’s governance. Most importantly, their relevant professional expertise is unparalleled. That’s why I’ve cast all my votes for SEEDGov.

[Snapshot] Arbitrum D.A.O. Season 3 Elections - Gaming - Voted For Flook

No one is more suitable for this position than Flook. He has extensive experience in the gaming field and has been a consistent contributor to the Arbitrum ecosystem. Likewise, I’ve known him for a long time, and I believe he can excel in completing the tasks required for this domain.

6.Voting 2025-01-16T16:00:00Z

[Snapshot] The Watchdog: Arbitrum DAO’s Grant Misuse Bounty Program - Voted For

The Watchdog is an extremely important oversight mechanism. I have discussed this issue with many Delegates in the past, but we were never able to come up with a feasible solution. While this proposal also has inherent flaws—for instance, our DAO can’t impose punitive measures on violators, at most withholding the remaining funds, and we might not even be able to recover previously disbursed funds—this is not a flaw of the proposal itself but a common limitation faced by all DAOs. Namely, online activities are difficult to subject to effective oversight by offline legal entities.

Nevertheless, this proposal is a significant step forward in improving Arbitrum DAO’s oversight framework, and I fully support it!

[Snapshot] Proposal for Piloting Enhancements and Strengthening the Sustainability of ArbitrumHub in the Year Ahead - Voted For without retroactive

ArbitrumHub enhances the functionality of the Arbitrum Foundation’s official website, providing a more efficient and in-depth guide for builders and users to build and utilize Arbitrum. Its public welfare nature aligns closely with the vision of ANDAO, which is why I strongly support this proposal. However, due to its nonprofit nature, I do not agree with granting retroactive compensation. Therefore, I vote For without retroactive.

[Snapshot] Arbitrum Strategic Objective Setting (SOS) – Defining the DAO’s Interim Goals - For

This is a proposal that leverages the collective efforts of Delegates, helping the
Arbitrum DAO establish widely accepted short term and medium term goals. The proposer has already taken every aspect into consideration and my only concern is whether this bottom-up approach can generate sufficient momentum at the execution level—that is, once the goals are set, whether the DAO’s executors can efficiently push them forward. Well, regardless, we need to give it a try first, so I vote For.

[Constitutional AIP] Activate Arbitrum BoLD + Infura Nova Validator Whitelist
- Voted For

Maintain my reasons on snapshot.

This is a proposal about technology, forgive me for not being too professional in this area.

The proposal mentions that Infura’s verification node is already running in the Nova network, but it was not previously whitelisted due to a slip-up during testing. Note that Infura should have been whitelisted, so I think now there is not much need for further complex discussion.

On the other hand, Infura is known to be one of the most active infrastructure providers in the industry and has already supported the Arbitrum One network, so extending it to Arbitrum Nova as soon as possible is desirable and in the interest of the entire Arbitrum DAO.

So I fully support this proposal and look forward to Infura’s continued contribution to the Arbitrum ecosystem.

This is long overdue, because moving all Nova fees into Arbitrum DAO Treasury, a smart contract controlled by the Arbitrum DAO, will greatly increase funding transparency and improve the DAO governance structure. So I totally support this proposal.

Stylus is crucial for the development of Arbitrum. With so many applicants participating, we should be pleased—after all, having so many developers willing to contribute to Stylus means we are one step closer to success. Therefore, I believe increasing the budget by 4M is necessary. In particular, the applicants listed by the committee who lack budget are very outstanding. So I vote For.

3.Voting 2025-02-13T16:00:00Z

[Snapshot] Arbitrum Growth Circles Event Proposal - For

This proposal aims to support early-stage startup projects, which is exactly what I have always advocated for. I believe that small but innovative projects are what Arbitrum needs right now—the era of blindly chasing TVL is over. What we need now is to keep funds flowing rather than just sitting and yielding interest. If this event can help discover some alpha projects, it will be a great benefit to Arbitrum.

And the team behind the execution of this proposal is Arbitrum Ventures Initiative, a group with highly professional skills. I believe they are fully capable of carrying out the plans outlined in the proposal. Moreover, the total budget for the proposal is only $67.2K, which is a relatively small amount and worth a try.

For these reasons, I fully support this proposal.

[Snapshot] [CONSTITUTIONAL] AIP: ArbOS Version 40 Callisto - For

This proposal aims to upgrade Arbitrum One and Arbitrum Nova to ArbOS 40 “Callisto”. Callisto adds support for relevant Execution Layer (EL) changes from Ethereum’s upcoming Pectra upgrade (H1 2025) and a small Arbitrum Stylus related fix.

Arbitrum is Ethereum! This is a technical upgrade and advancement that everyone in Arbitrum DAO is happy to see, so I fully support it.

5.Voting 2025-02-20T16:00:00Z

[Snapshot] Arbitrum Audit Program - For

This proposal aims to provide funding subsidies for early-stage projects that lack the funds to complete security audits. Smart contract auditing is crucial for blockchain projects, as multi-million-dollar exploits are all too common and alarming. So this is an incredibly meaningful initiative. As I have always emphasized, the continuous emergence of high-quality startups is fundamental to Arbitrum’s long-term growth. We should spare no effort in supporting these early-stage projects, especially those struggling with initial funding and market exposure. If Arbitrum DAO can remove the initial barriers for them, I think more great builders will be attracted to the Arbitrum ecosystem!

For these reasons, I fully support this proposal.
