LTIPP Contribution:
What did you contribute to the LTIPP (Include links to relevant contributions)?
We (Lampros Labs DAO), developed live voting dashboards that played a crucial role in streamlining the voting process during the Long Term Incentives Pilot Program (LTIPP) and STIP-Bridge. There were two dashboards - one for LTIPP which tracked the voting of all 77 council-approved applications and 15 post-council feedback submitted applications in real time and the second one was for STIP-bridge which tracked the voting for 18 applications which resolved several pain points faced by delegates and community members throughout the process.
Key pain points the dashboard addressed:
- Centralized Access: With 77 protocols voting simultaneously, delegates struggled to find and vote on proposals. The dashboard consolidated all Snapshot voting links, forum proposals, and live voting statuses into one easily navigable platform.
- Simplified Voting: Delegates could access all necessary links and voting statuses in a single Google Sheet, eliminating the need to manually track each protocol’s voting.
- Post-Council Voting Dashboard: Following the initial voting phase, we created a separate dashboard for 15 additional protocols, making it easy for delegates to track new proposals based on council feedback.
- STIP-Bridge Dashboard: Following LTIPP voting phase, the voting for STIP-Bridge proposals started simulataneously for which we created a separate dashboard for 18 protocols, making it easy for delegates to track new proposals and vote on those proposals.
- Ease of Use: Built in Google Sheets, the dashboard was accessible to everyone in the Arbitrum DAO and widely circulated via the Arbitrum Forum, X (formerly Twitter), and the LTIPP Discord Channel, providing real-time updates every 5 minutes.
- Personalization: Delegates could create personalized copies of the dashboard to track their votes, complete with dynamic updates and color-coded columns for enhanced usability.
By resolving these issues, the dashboard made the voting process more efficient and accessible for the entire Arbitrum DAO, encouraging participation and ensuring transparency throughout the LTIPP.

Why is this contribution meaningful to the Arbitrum DAO?
Our contribution significantly enhanced the efficiency and transparency of the LTIPP voting process, ensuring community members, delegates, and protocols had a centralized, accessible resource for tracking the progress of proposals. Here’s why it was important:
- Streamlined Voting Process: With 77 proposals up for Snapshot voting, 15 additional proposals after council feedback and 18 proposals for the STIP-bridge program, our dashboard made it easier for delegates to stay organized, access proposals quickly, and monitor live voting results in one place.
- Increased Participation and Engagement: By providing a user-friendly interface and real-time updates, the dashboard encouraged more delegates to participate actively, ultimately driving higher engagement in the voting process.
- Personalization for Delegates: The ability for delegates to create personalized copies of the dashboard allowed them to keep track of their votes in a customized way, empowering them to be more efficient in their decision-making.
- Transparency: Updating every 5 minutes, the dashboard ensured the entire Arbitrum community had access to the most current information, fostering an open and transparent governance process. Many protocols were observed using the dashboard to check their status.
This contribution has had a lasting impact on how voting was conducted in the LTIPP and represents a meaningful step toward making governance more accessible and transparent within the Arbitrum DAO.

Requested Budget:
What budget are you requesting from the 100,000 ARB?
We are requesting 20,000 ARB (~12,000 USD) for the creation and maintenance of the voting dashboards throughout the two-week voting period of the LTIPP and the one-week STIP-Bridge voting period. This includes the initial setup for tracking the 77 protocols and 15 protocols in real-time, as well as the subsequent dashboard developed for the 18 protocols for STIP-Bridge that went for Snapshot voting after LTIPP.
The approval of this proposal will encourage continued contribution in different capacities to Arbitrum DAO by our members, fostering ongoing engagement and support for the ecosystem.
What is the justification for this budget request?
We are requesting 20,000 ARB (~12,000 USD) to fairly compensate the efforts of the three team members who contributed throughout the process, from planning to execution, and continuously monitored the voting dashboard over the 21 days of voting periods. This included:
- Integrating the Snapshot API and developing Python scripts to ensure real-time voting data updates.
- Managing data storage using Google Sheets and Gspread API for seamless data flow.
- Continuous monitoring and troubleshooting to ensure accuracy and reliability throughout the voting period.
The requested amount reflects the time, resources, and technical expertise required to create, maintain, and ensure the smooth operation of the voting dashboard.
Do you agree to complete the Arbitrum Compliance process before receiving any funds?
Yes, we agree to complete the Arbitrum Compliance process before receiving any funds.
