Interesting proposal. Our team has a few questions:

Is it possible to provide results showing the successful implementation of dePolis in other similar DAOs within the Arbitrum?

> [@DePolis](#):
>
> **Statements** - opinions submitted by participants through DePolis (\<140 characters) on a specific topic, which other participants can vote on.

Is there any specific reason for setting this character limit?  
Perhaps it would be better to remove or increase it so that the community is not restricted when sharing their opinions.

> [@DePolis](#):

> However, if we imagine that opinions expressed through Polis truly matter and are embedded in governance decision-making processes, there will quickly be those looking to manipulate the conversation. The original Polis does not provide tools to counteract this.

How can dePolis prevent this issue?

> [@DePolis](#):

> The ability to incentivize the conversation by sending USDC/ARB to a smart contract associated with the conversation, which will distribute rewards among participants based on the conversation outcomes, with customizable reward distribution logic.

It seems like a good way to encourage the community to participate in discussions, but how do you plan to determine who will receive the rewards? There is a risk that users might post low-value comments just to claim the rewards.  
How do you plan to secure more funds for these incentives?  
We currently have the DIP that incentivizes the community to generate valuable comments, and this seems to have a similar purpose.
