MSS handover reporting: Jul 2026 - Sep 2026

DAO Programs & Initiatives 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 two remained active during this period. Accordingly, we are sharing token flow reporting for funds associated with these initiatives between July and September (Q3) 2026, with the prior period covered here.

Furthermore, because there are only two remaining MSS-transfered initiatives remaining, both of which are reported on separately (here and here), this will be the last MSS handover report published by the Arbitrum Foundation.

Reporting period: 01.07.2026 - 30.09.2026

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

  1. Stylus Sprint
  2. 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
  4. Event Horizon
  5. ADPC Security Subsidy Fund (SSF)

  1. During the reporting period, there were no deposits to these wallets.

  2. During the reporting period, total withdrawals from these wallets were:

  1. 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.
