MSS handover reporting: January 2026 - March 2026

Archive Token Flow Report
1

Introduction

Following an ArbitrumDAO vote to wind down the MSS, funds previously controlled by the MSS were transferred to the Arbitrum Foundation, which continues to manage the DAO’s payroll operations. Of the seven initiatives whose funds were transferred from the MSS, only four remain active. Accordingly, we are sharing token flow reporting for funds associated with these initiatives between January and March (Q1) 2026, with the prior periods covered here.

Reporting period: 01.01.2026 - 31.03.2026

Scope: The scope of this report includes four* initiatives (each with a separate wallet, as reported here):

  1. Event Horizon
  2. ADPC Security Subsidy Fund (SSF)
  3. Stylus Sprint
  4. Delegate Incentive Program (DIP)

*As mentioned in previous reports, the following initiatives have come to an end and will no longer be reported on:

  1. Hackathon Continuation Program (HCP)
  2. ARDC V2
  3. 2025 Events Budget

  2. In recent months, the Arbitrum Foundation began using an aggregator wallet (0x453Fc9b6E5991c574349Da4b7849e2B2BAD4e99E) to centralize and streamline outbound payments, improve operational efficiency, and reduce the risk of double payments across multiple wallets.
