We appreciate ImmutableLawyer for developing this proposal. Blockworks Research will apply for the role of The Research Member. We are keen to follow this proposal and its discussion.
For additional context, we participated in the ARDC v1.0, and have provided many deliverables to the DAO, for those unfamiliar, here’s a list:
STIP Retroactive Analysis – Sequencer Revenue
STIP Retroactive Analysis – Yield Aggregators TVL
STIP Analysis of Operations and Incentive Mechanisms
STIP Retroactive Analysis – Spot DEX TVL
STIP Retroactive Analysis – Perp DEX Volume
STIP-Bridge (Extended Deadline Applicants) – Support Material for the Community
STIP-Bridge – Support Material for the Community

As active delegates, we’ve consistently gone above and beyond, playing a foundational role in the DAO’s development from its inception. Through conversations and with major stakeholders and other delegates, we’ve identified key areas for development and research moving forward and have clear plans to aid the DAO. At the same time, we are and will be at the DAO’s aid for continued research requests in this next term. As value-add contributors, our work in ARDCv1 was instrumental in shaping many of the discussions central to the DAO today. For example, our evidence of fund misuse with Synapse and Furucombo helped save the DAO approximately $1M, while ongoing work on future incentive structures continues to drive meaningful progress.
In summary, we are happy to continue our relationship with Arbitrum, in both its community and its DAO.
